'''Pascual Ignacio Espinar y Casaus''' (3 May 1889 – 14 August 1953) was a Creeperian military officer who held the rank of [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] with the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] during the [[Creeperian Civil War]]. He held the position of [[Ministry for Public Safety (National Council)|Minister for Public Safety]] from which he organized and carried out various atrocities and crimes against humanity which have since been collectively known as the ''[[De-Catholization]]'', in which an estimated 9 to 11 million people died.

A life-long [[Qarl Marx|Marxist]] and communist, he joined the National Council at the beginning of the civil war, and after the fall of the ''Miguelist'' government on 30 September 1949 at the [[Battle of the Zapatista River]], Espinar Casaus continued to resist the government of the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] during the [[Partisan Resistance (Creeperopolis)|Partisan Resistance]]. He was one of the leading figures of the resistance, being known as '''El Líder''' by ''Miguelist'' partisans and loyalists as the highest-ranking surviving member of the National Council in the aftermath of the [[San Salvador Trials]]. He was captured by the [[Creeperian Army]] on 14 August 1953 and publicly beheaded in the town of [[Aterancho]], [[Abdan (viceroyalty)|Abdan]].
