Who was bacon in Shakespeare's plays?

There is no character called Bacon in any of Shakespeare's plays. The only people called Bacon who are in any way associated with Shakespeare are Delia Bacon and Francis Bacon. Delia Bacon was a Victorian nutjob who concluded from feelings and intuitions that Shakespeare had not actually written his own plays, but that they had in fact been written by her namesake Francis Bacon, who was indeed more or less contemporary with Shakespeare, but showed no interest in drama or poetry, being much more interested in the dry and unemotional fields of law and science. Nobody nowadays believes that Francis Bacon had anything to do with Shakespeare, but Delia Bacon may be considered to be the mother of Antistratfordianism, and her methodology has been adopted by many another Antistratfordian.
