Antoine Ferdinand (14 September, 1888 - 28 April, 1943) who was Director of the Hesperic League from its founding in 1932 until he was executed in 1943. As such, he was the most prominent of Hesperic fascist that were active after the War of Vozhsk Independence. Ferdinand managed to collaborate with Louwrens van Geuzendam's government, and created various supply roads in order to bypass Royalist areas. He held the nominal title of Director of the Fasciste after 1932 after he and his coterie founded the Hesperic League. After the Hesperic Civil War came to a close, he was captured and killed.
He was also Prime Minister of Hesperia from 1918 until 1924, and was in serious dissent with the Royalist government so much as to depose him 6 years later.
Early life
Ferdinand was born in 1888 in an unkempt slum near Malleux, in the northern part of Hesperia, which was the capital at the time. His father was an elementary school teacher and his mother had stayed unemployed. He left secondary school, and applied in the army shortly after. He became an editor for a daily conservative newspaper - who was presiding over the New Democratic Party by 1900. After ending his university education at Malleux-Leon, he would continue writing for various different tabloids.
He became fervently political in 1909 after seeing "failures in the monarchy" and entered a position of anti-monarchist overt nationalism. He formed a nationalist committee in 1911, but kept it as a pressure group in case tbd
