Alfonso Domingo Monterrosa y Buenaventura (Creeperian: Ալֆոնսո Դոմինգո Մոնտերրոսա յ Բփենավենտփրա; 24 January 1931 – 30 June 1962), also known in the Castillianan departments as Afonso Domíngo Montanharoge e Benvénture, was a Creeperian soldier who fought in the Creeperian Army during the Rubicon War.
After Monterrosa Buenaventura's death during Operation Serpente in mid-1962, his likeness was used by the Creeperian government as a propaganda piece, displaying him as a "model soldier" and "perfect example of a patriotic Creeperian," which was primarily used to encourage Creeperans and Castillianans to support the government at all costs in the wake of the foreign Salisfordian invader. He was posthumously promoted to the rank of major, posthumously awarded the Imperial Order of Fidel the Martyr, and buried in the Valley of the Fallen. The slogan "Dedicate yourselves like Major Monterrosa Buenaventura" was commonly used by the Creeperian government throughout the war, and continues to be used today.
The reliability of the official Creeperian government account of Monterrosa Buenaventura's life is highly questionable, as the only accounts of his life come from his journal entries, which are generally considered to be propaganda creations made by the government to better portray Monterrosa Buenaventura. The amount of high quality images of Monterrosa Buenaventura also raise into question the historicity of Monterrosa Buenaventura, if he even existed at all, however, a majority of historians agree that Monterrosa Buenaventura did indeed exist, but not to the level of which he is portrayed by the Creeperian government.
