Carmo Félix was an Ilírican political in the mid eighteenth century who was known for his anti-slave trade and his pro-Ilírican independence political views, along with his rivalry with Jacó Monte. Carmo was elected Governor General of Ilírica in 1764 with popular support, however in 1767 Jacó Monte organized the 1767 Ilírican coup d'ètat in which he forced Carmo to resign from his position as Governor General. Carmo continued to fight against Jacó on the political stage to lowering success in 1783 when the Illyric Revolution erupted and Carmo, who was a vocal supporter of Ilírican independence, was imprisioned by Jacó. Carmo was convicted of treason, attempted insurrection, athiesm, and attempting to undermine the stability of the state, and for these supposed crimes he was executed on January 11, 1784.
