Perarnau Agué's grandfather, Pompeu Cristòfol Perarnau i Hurtado, was one of the 50,000 soldiers who participated in the initial [[invasion of the Modica Strip]] of July to October 1933 which began the [[Desert War]] between the Free Republic of Noundures (then known as the State of Noundures) and the Kingdom of Salisford. His great grandparents were originally from the area controlled by the Free Republic of Noundures, but later fled the area for [[El Salvador]] in the 1900s due to fears of reprisals against [[Salvadorans]] living in the area by the Salisfordian government. After the initial offensive of 1933, his grandparents settled in the territory conquered by the Free Republic of Noundures.

Shortly after his promotion, Perarnau Agué was deployed to the country's ''de facto'' northern border with Salisford to defend it as a part of the [[Desert War]] which had been ongoing since July 1933. He was stationed in the border town of [[Mataró]] in the department of [[Lloconesa (department)|Lloconesa]] in August 1989 and remained deployed until January 1990. He was redeployed to the city of [[Manresa]] in the department of [[Sant Jeroni (department)|Sant Jeroni]] in April 1990 and remained deployed until November 1990.

In February 1991, Perarnau Agué and 150 other Noundurian soldiers were sent to [[Sonsochapan]] in El Salvador to receive advanced training from the [[Salvadoran Army]]. His training was completed in June 1991 and he returned to Noundures, where he was deployed to [[Olèrdola]], the free republic's capital city, in September 1991. He remained deployed in Olèrdola until March 1992. Perarnau Agué was deployed to Mataró for a second time in July 1992. During his deployment, on 19 August 1992, the ''[[Kauayotl]]'' armored personnel carrier he was riding in was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, which was presumably launched by Salisfordian forces. He was injured by the attack and was taken to a military hospital in Olèrdola.

After being in hospital for just under a month, Perarnau Agué was promoted to the rank of sergeant by Colonel Gonçal Monter Valldosera on 13 September 1992 and was awarded the [[Medal of Heroism and Sacrifice (Noundures)|Medal of Heroism and Sacrifice]], a military award for being injured or killed in action. The attack caused Perarnau Agué's father, now holding the rank of lieutenant colonel, to increasingly pressure him to transfer from being an enlisted soldier to an officer. Perarnau Agué reluctantly abided by his father's request and began studying at the [[Sonsochapan Military Academy]] in El Salvador in January 1993 to become an officer. He was deployed one final time in Olèrdola from October 1993 to April 1994. He completed his studies in December 1994, and on 1 January 1995, he was official inaugurated as an officer and given the rank of sub-lieutenant.

Amèric Romeu Perarnau i Agué (born 30 December 1970) is a Noundurian military officer, politician, and former soldier who currently serves as the Minister of Defense of the Free Republic of Noundures. As Minister of Defense, Perarnau Agué holds the rank of general and is considered to be the second most powerful person in the Noundurian government after Cabdill Malaquies Llorca Caparrós, the president of Noundures.

The son of an officer in the Free Noundurian Army (ENL), Perarnau Agué enlisted as a soldier in January 1989 and was deployed three times to the country's de facto northern bother with Salisford and twice in Olèrdola, the capital city of the Free Republic of Noundures, between August 1989 and April 1994. After nearly being killed in action in August 1992, and at the insistence of his father, Perarnau Agué transferred from being an enlisted soldier to being an officer in January 1995.

Early life

Amèric Romeu Perarnau i Agué was born on 30 December 1970 in Sanaüja, a city which is officially a part of Salisford but is controlled by the self-declared Free Republic of Noundures. His father is Josep Domènec Perarnau i Balsas and his mother is Francesca Sònia Agué i Torrente de Perarnau. He is the oldest of four children, with his younger siblings being Raquel, Amadeu, and Ysabel. At the time of his birth, his father was an active major within the Free Noundurian Army (ENL).

Perarnau Agué's grandfather, Pompeu Cristòfol Perarnau i Hurtado, was one of the 50,000 soldiers who participated in the initial invasion of the Modica Strip of July to October 1933 which began the Desert War between the Free Republic of Noundures (then known as the State of Noundures) and the Kingdom of Salisford. His great grandparents were originally from the area controlled by the Free Republic of Noundures, but later fled the area for El Salvador in the 1900s due to fears of reprisals against Salvadorans living in the area by the Salisfordian government. After the initial offensive of 1933, his grandparents settled in the territory conquered by the Free Republic of Noundures.

Military career

As a soldier

Perarnau Agué joined the Free Noundurian Army on 1 January 1989, one day after his eighteenth birthday, as required by the country's conscription law. That same day, he also became a member of the Movement for Noundurian Integration (MIN), the country's sole-legal political party. Upon joining the party, he was awarded the Order of the Movement for Noundurian Integration.

He joined as an enlisted soldier and was given the rank of cadet upon joining. His father, however, wanted Perarnau Agué to follow his footsteps and become a military officer rather than a soldier. Perarnau Agué insisted on being a soldier, and as such, he continued his basic training with the Free Noundurian Army. He completed his training on 1 June 1989 and was promoted to the rank of corporal, and following national military tradition, he and the rest of his fellow new soldiers participated in the annual Independence Day Military Parade on 10 July 1989 and was awarded the Military Service Medal.

Shortly after his promotion, Perarnau Agué was deployed to the country's de facto northern border with Salisford to patrol it and defend it from any possible Salisfordian offenses or sabotage operations. He was stationed in the border town of Mataró in the department of Lloconesa in August 1989 and remained deployed until January 1990. He was redeployed to the city of Manresa in the department of Sant Jeroni in April 1990 and remained deployed until November 1990. He did not see combat during either deployment, but he did engage in some counterintelligence operations which led to the arrests of five alleged Salisfordian saboteurs.

In February 1991, Perarnau Agué and 150 other Noundurian soldiers were sent to Sonsochapan in El Salvador to receive advanced training from the Salvadoran Army. His training was completed in June 1991 and he returned to Noundures, where he was deployed to Olèrdola, the free republic's capital city, in September 1991. He remained deployed in Olèrdola until March 1992. Perarnau Agué was deployed to Mataró for a second time in July 1992. During his deployment, on 19 August 1992, the Kauayotl armored personnel carrier he was riding in was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade, which was presumably launched by Salisfordian forces. He was injured by the attack and was taken to a military hospital in Olèrdola.

After being in hospital for just under a month, Perarnau Agué was promoted to the rank of sergeant by Colonel Gonçal Monter Valldosera on 13 September 1992 and was awarded the Medal of Heroism and Sacrifice, a military award for being injured or killed in action. The attack caused Perarnau Agué's father, now holding the rank of lieutenant colonel, to increasingly pressure him to transfer from being an enlisted soldier to an officer. Perarnau Agué reluctantly abided by his father's request and began studying at the Sonsochapan Military Academy in El Salvador in January 1993 to become an officer. He was deployed one final time in Olèrdola from October 1993 to April 1994. He completed his studies in December 1994, and on 1 January 1995, he was official inaugurated as an officer and given the rank of sub-lieutenant.

As an officer

His nickname is "Serp", Salvadoran for serpent, and it was given to him by senior military officers who considered his appointment as an officer and his quick early rise in the ranks as "sneaky as a serpent". He has since embraced the nickname and presents it as representing that he is as "deadly as a serpent". He is also sometimes referred to by his initials: APA.

Minister of Defense

Personal life

Perarnau Agué married Octàvia Cristina Vallés i Piñols on 9 December 1994 in Olèrdola. The couple has three children: Salvador (born 1997), Rita (born 2000), and Natàlia (born 2004). Salvador is currently a soldier in the Free Noundurian Army and is expected to become an officer, like his father, in the near future. Rita currently works as a news commentator on Noundures' Channel 10, while Natàlia is currently studying law at the University of Ciutat dels Àngels.
