Xiutecuhtli Cárintecatl (4 March 1929 – 29 October 2021), known simply as Cárintecatl, Matamoros, or "the Liberator of Cárinansia", was a Carinansian general and the primary leader of the PRC rebellion against the ruling Imperial State, becoming President of the country for over five decades following his force's victory in the civil war.
In 1954, after being imprisoned for his role in the Indigenous Preservation during the Distopia, he was freed from captivity by rebel forces and quickly recruited to the fold, being already famous nationwide for his role in freeing the Imperial Family from Valora. Beginning his career in the revolution as a Colonel, he would rise through the ranks quickly due to his strategic military prowess. Following strategic failures that led to the Imperialist destruction of Oligi, he launched a coup against the leaders of the rebellion and assumed control, concluding the conflict only a few months later in 1965.
On 15 June 1965, after completely disbanding the Imperial Government, he declared himself the National Emergency President while emergency elections were held, which declared him the winner on June 24th. Following a several-month constitutional convention composed of delegates from the country's various territories, the Serenacy of Carinansia with its modern form of government was established, with extensive input on his part. In 1968, he disbanded the National Revolutionary Committee, concentrating further power in the presidency and making himself the most powerful figure in the country by far. In 1969, he declared the Voclástizaje policy, renaming himself a year from Javier Matamoros to Xiutecuhtli Cárintecatl in line with it.
Cárintecatl is regarded as the primary national hero of the Serenacy, a great military commander, and one of the Liberators of Suroikoia. The Order of the Liberator General Cárintecatl (Orden del Libertador General Cárintecatl), created in his honor, is the highest decoration conferred by the Carinansian government.
Life
Early Life
Born in the Ilrato favela of Oligi as Javier Matamoros, the bastard son of Maria Matamoros. His entire youth was spent as a member of the lower-class, attending a public school until he turned 15. In 1944, he enlisted in the Imperial Army to fight the Fascist Valorans, fraudulently taking the place of a more experienced soldier to register in the 11th Special Forces Regiment. One month after enlisting as a Junior Lieutenant in the unit, he participated in Operation: San Sebastian to liberate Carlos, Prince Imperial, who had been taken hostage by the opposition forces. Later, his involvement in the Battle of Cambera and Battle of San Esteban earned him the Albert Eagle, the most prestigious military honour.
Imperial Military Career
As a member of the Imperial Army, he participated in extensive operations to extinguish Valoran rebels. He was one of the junior officers involved in the 1946 Trujillo Rebellion. In 1947, he became the 11th Special Forces Regiment youngest ever Captain, the junior officer commanding for the unit. In 1949, he was part of an operation at the Battle of Chilpache in the invasion of New Delhinmar. At the conclusion of the war in 1951, he received an honourable discharge and a pay stub of $6,480, accumulated from no expenses.
Unenlisted Period
During this time, he purchased a small apartment in Oligi and a new Montes 51 jeep. He travelled the country in the vehicle, traversing the Terfloria rainforest, La Plata mountain range, Lekeadian jungle, and Altiplano savannah, absorbing the cultures of the people by greatly involving himself with them. He became fluent in 6 indigenous languages, specifically Natik, Mexal, Runasim, Muru, Altori, and the final speaker of Sendean. During one of these interactions in 1954, he was arrested by the Imperial Military, who were transporting the natives to work camps. Scheduled to be shot on 15 October 1954, a revolutionary battalion captured the prison on the 12th. Freed by the Serenist rebels, he was taken to meet with the Revolutionary Junta in Conceição, primarily Col. Fernandez.
Revolutionary Period
Once he became a sworn member of the National Liberation Front of Carinansia, he was quickly given command over a battalion, his reputation as a military figure preceding him. In the 1958 Battle of Tzacuanyaitzcuhtli, he captured the port city with only ten thousand soldiers. The Colonel made Cárintecatl his primary advisor, and an army of forty thousand soldiers. From here, he quickly captured large swathes of Haiyato and Tlanukoy, before his first military failure at Noria.
In 1965, Cárintecatl was grossly undermanned with only 10 thousand soldiers capturing Oligi, with his other armies far away in northern Carinansia. However, Col. Fernandez had urged him to launch the attack, promising to quickly support him with 45 thousand additional soldiers from Reydacay, and to be at the city by 11 March. By 5pm that day, Cárintecatl arrived with his forces. The subsequent Battle of Oligi saw various attempts to contact Fernandez, ultimately responding that he was days away. Despite being at a 2:1 numerical and defense disadvantage, the local Imperial soldiers were extremely incompetent at defending.
By 16 March, with no sign of Fernandez despite continued assurances of aid, attrition for the encircled Imperial soldiers resulted in a mass evacuation on 19 March at 7pm. While leaving, they ensured to destroy the city in bombing raids, and scheduled bombings with ground munitions. After destroying over 95% of buildings in the city, all infrastructure, and there were large holes in the ground, the city was seized. Over 100 thousand civilians had died in the fighting, as many had been killed by the departing Imperial soldiers. In front of a crowd of 80 thousand people at the Oligi Stadium, which was one of the only buildings mostly undamaged in the fighting, Cárintecatl uplifted the people in an empowering speech, during which time he vowed to take revenge on Fernandez for his failure to help, which condemned the city. He led the 173 kilometer march to Reydacay, during which time he defended against remaining royalist stragglers. After arriving on 28 March, he left with 5 thousand soldiers to Conceição.
Upon arriving on 30 March, he immediately marched on the Junta Headquarters, detaining Col. Fernandez and proclaiming himself the new leader of the Revolution. He received the support of many local units, making the subsequent assumption of control more smooth. He held Fernandez captive, while proclaiming himself as General of the Armies, as he now held command over 3 armies.
On 17 May, he successfully marched on Voclaria City, capturing it after a five day battle. Three days later, he captured São Alberto and the Imperial Palace. Shortly afterwards, the revolutionary government was moved to the Imperial Castle. On June 16, he proclaimed himself the Provisional President of Carinansia, holding the first presidential elections on July 25.
Presidency
2045 Narco Papers
In an extensive government hack of a highly classified 2020 OSI presidential inquiry, it was revealed that he orchestrated the three-decade-long drug war across northern Cárinansia, eventually resulting in the establishment of extensive narcotic production on a government-funded budget. Between 1993 and 2002, he lost control over large swathes of the central-east of the country, but completely eradicated or exported these problems beyond, while expanding production and exportation of illicit substances. It is predicted that he received at least $134.9 billion in profits over this period related to his position as president of the country, while some place this number as high as 35% of 2020 Carinansian GDP, approximately $327.8 billion.
