Certain media, including Real Life, tend to have the time and space to utilize a large cast of characters, a large number of individuals with significant and/or necessary contributions to the storyline. But in an adaptation it can be difficult to offer adequate time and space so that each and every character gets their just due for how they impact the story. A solution is to invoke artistic license and compress two or more such figures into a single character with traits drawn from all of them.
