Things the world of New Amsterdam apparently has that Earth has also.

Lewis Carroll (Sebastien quotes "The Hunting of the Snark.")

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and by extension Sherlock Holmes (Sebastien quotes "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.") This leads me to believe that in this continuity, Holmes' character may be loosely based upon Sebastien.

Christopher Marlowe and Faust. (Sebastien, again with the quoting.)

Abraham Stoker, and Dracula.

Vlad III of Wallachia
