Nōchēhuatl Rodríguez, born Oscar Cortés (January 2, 1932 - August 17, 2036) to aristocracy living in São Alberto, he received a privileged and educated upbringing in the capital. He enlisted in the Imperial Army in 1950 as an officer cadet, rising quickly through the ranks due to his peerage to become a Brigadier General by 1958, in command of the Army of Southern Ipudorm. Consdering himself a Serenist sympathiser, he quickly pledged allegiance to the National Liberation Front later that year, ultimately becoming a prominent revolutionary General. In the later years of the Serenacy, he became one of the country’s most prominent politicians, serving as governor and senator several times.

Family background

House Cortés was one of the Imperial State's most prominent aristocratic families, descending from Beltrán Cortés, an early leader for independence who fought alongside Alberto I, and was one of the signatories to the Treaty of Seoyang in 1835. In gratitude for his service, Beltrán was made the first Duke of Solicalco, and though he died only eight years later, he had already initiated the family's history of noble intermarriage, bearing children with Caterina, Countess of Galiano. By the birth of Rodríguez, the family had a strong history of military service to the state, seeing their members die young during battle, but also accumulating several titles by marrying into various noble houses, making them among the wealthiest families in the country.

Early life and education

Early life

He was born in São Alberto as the eldest child of Roberto Cortés (1908-1940), who was the eldest son of Alejandro Cortés Dominguez, 4th Duke of Solicalco, and Daniela Cortés Marchena, Marquise of Hivia. His mother was Diana Cortés, Lady of Flores (1905–1962), daughter of Ignacio Balboa Pallares, Lord of Flores, and Diana Balboa de Anchieta, Countess of Alzado.

Discharged period

Shortly after receiving an honourable discharge in 1977, retiring from the Serene Army as one of the most senior and respected military officers in the country, he formally renounced all properties he inherited from his father. He donated the Cortés Hacienda in Cintero province, Tohuecotl, to the state government, to serve as a secondary residence for the governor. He sold all the properties he owned in the Albert neighbourhood of Voclaria City, donating all proceeds to charity, and sold the Solicalco palace to a private investor. The only properties he retained were Flores Manor in São Lenoas, and Sara House in Teecamatl, Tohuecotl, the former becoming his primary residence until moving to Tohuecotl, and the latter becoming his primary residence in the state, in place of the Governors' Mansion.
