Samuel MacMorrow (July 4, 1923 - April 12, 1984) is a former President of Gjorka from 1972 to 1982, and was the first democratically elected president in Gjorka's history. Prior to his ascension to the presidency he was a key figure in the Gjorkan Resistance serving as the leader of the Gjorkan Republican Army.
MacMorrow was born in Baltimore to only his single mother, whom was a socialist revolutionary. At age 9 his mother was killed in a police raid of their underground headquarters. MacMorrow grew up in the foster system as child until age 16 where he escaped and joined the Gjorkan Republican Army. He was known even at his young age for his speaking skills, and quickly became a leader within his chapter. He was elected to be the civil representative for the GRA organizing their protests. He was arrested several times by the government, and dodged several assassination attempts. By 1971 he was the national symbol of the democratic revolution in Gjorka. Following the 1971 Gjorkan coup d'état, and the Black Revolution he was the head negotiator for the revolutionary forces in the transition to democracy. Following his successes, he ran in the 1972 Gjorkan presidential election, and by an overwhelming margin was the first democratically elected president in Gjorkan history. His tenure as president is considered one of the best in Gjorkan history as he helped establish the powers of the Gjorkan president along with much of the young nations bureaucracy. By the end of his tenure the Gjorkan economy finally recovering from it's decades of mismanagement. However, near the end of the second term he suffered a stroke which nearly killed him. He decided to not run for a third term in 1982. In 1984 he had another stroke, and unfortunately passed away.
