Leontiy Solovev was a Slavic naval officer known for volunteering in several revolutions, including the Zamastan War of Independence and the Chezian Wars of Independence. Born on the island of Vseryevsk in 1772 to a wealthy family, his father and grandfather both served in the Slavic navy. Solovev was noted by his superiors to be very capable and brave, but he was discharged in 1801 due to his opposition to the Slavic monarchy.
In 1802 he would enlist to serve in the Zamastanian navy, leaving in 1806 upon the outbreak of the Chezian Wars of Independence.
He is considered a freedom fighter by many, and was viewed very positively by anti-monarchists in the late 18th century and early 19th century, with the short lived Slavic Socialist Republic using his image on their 20 dollar bill.
