It is unknown who inspired the character of the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) never left any verbal or written indication as to the sources for his characters. But great literary pieces lend themselves to others finding in them what they seek in themselves and others. For example, those who see political symbolism in Baum books suggest President McKinley (January 29, 1843 - September 14, 1901) as one source for the Wizard.
