Grand Marshall Artemi Matti Rasmus Kapanen was a Talvistovan military leader. Kapanen served as an officer in the First Great War and then went on to serve as supreme commander of all Talvistovan Forces during the Second Great War.

In a military historical society survey 50 years after his death in 1997, he was rated as the greatest military leader in Talvistovan history, and the greatest talvistovan of all time, next to king Juren II. He is the only man in Talvistovan history to ever hold the ceremonial rank of Grand Marshall.
