Who Edgar Allan Poe was
Orphaned at three, he was the first American writer to attempt to live by writing alone, and ruined himself doing it.
He invented the detective story with "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", fifty years before Sherlock Holmes, and brought the horror tale to its modern form. He died at forty in circumstances never explained, delirious on the streets of Baltimore. Baudelaire translated him and made him famous in Europe before his own country did.
No documented birth time exists for this person. Without a time there are no houses, no Ascendant, no Midheaven, and the wheel is not oriented: what you see are the positions by sign, which are correct, and nothing else. An incomplete chart beats an invented Ascendant.
