Ethnicity: White Gaelic
Religion: Catholic
Date of Death: September 11th, 1818

Regarded highly as the "founding father" of the independent state, and played a crucial role in separating Saltusland both from the Tarkkan Empire, and later, the Continental States of Muiricea. A favorite son of the Casmyn family, a family of aristocratic settlers who are famed for owning some of the largest plantations in the country's history, and are among the wealthiest of its inhabitants, even today.

Went largely unrecognized for his achievements until 1924, when he was awarded a posthumous Diamond Service Cross by President Ó Cairre for his sacrifices. He has become a symbol of the mestizo and Mayan people, and is venerated by both the Integralist Regime, attempting to gain native support, and the Mayan separatist groups.
