Lucio Lento (February 6, 1754 - May 9, 1822; Illyrian Iberic: Luçeo Lento, Romanyan Iberic: Lucius Lentus), posthumously referred to as "Le Lierato" (Romanyan Iberic: Liberatoris, Gaúcho, O Libertador, Jackian: The Liberator), was an Illyrian politician and soldier who served the a major leader of the Republican revolutionaries during the Illyric Revolution and served as the first President of Illyricum from 1799 to 1808. He led the Illyrian Independence Party and officially abolished the Ilírican Slave Trade, as well as supporting Araucarlian revolutionaries in the Viceroyalty of Araucarlia and republican factions in the Gaúcho Commonwealth.
Lento joined the Ilírican Independence Party at the age of 16 in 1770 and took part in revolutionary riots surrounding the trial and execution of Viceroy of Ilírica Jacó Monte's wife Calixta Araújo for holding atheist views. In 1775, he was elected to the General Assembly of Ilírica, and together with Modesto Carvalho and former Governor General Carmo Félix led the Ilírican Independence Party. Lento helped organize the May Revolution which began the Illyric Revolution in August 1783, after widespread slave revolts throughout the nation crippled the Ilírican military. Lento led republican forces at the Storming of the Palace of the Fish and personally captured Jacó Monte, before ordering his execution just two weeks later and officially declaring the end of the Viceroyalty of Ilírica.
Shortly following the execution, Lento's ally Ogosto Octavo instituted the First Illyrian Provisional Council, however Lento was not a member of the council which led to friction between him and Octavo. Despite the council's power, unrest and revolts continued, with much of the populace unable to support themselves and the council using the money accrued by Viceroyalty for personal and political gain. On March 11, 1786 Octavo was assassinated by fellow council member Marçelo Cajro and soon after the Provisional Council collapsed, after which Lento and his close allies Marco Puleo and Gaspar Ventura established the Illyrian Consulate as a rival government to Marçelo Cajro's Second Illyrian Provisional Council.
Consulate forces defeated Cajro at the Battle of Sono on June 10, 1788, and overthrew the provisional council, however the Consulate soon fractured when on New Year's Day, 1789, Gaspar Ventura crowned himself Premier Consul. Marco Puleo and Lento attempted to fight Ventura's forces, however they were defeated at Merciens and then again at Napelae and Puleo was killed, forcing Lento to flee to Etruricum.
