Jorge Guillermo Montt Álvarez (1 October 1790 – 1 May 1867) was a Creeperian military officer and politician who served as the first Chief Admiral of the Creeperian Navy and as the first Captain General of Rakeo.

Early life

Jorge Guillermo Montt Álvarez was born on 1 October 1790 in San Salvador del Oeste, State of the Church. His father was Jorge Armando Montt Guerrero, a Captain in the Creeperian Navy, and his mother was María Annette Álvarez Galván, a baker and vendor. He was the couple's only son and had three older sisters: María Ana Montt Álvarez (1782–1855), Rosa Evelina Montt Álvarez (1786–1868), and Cassandra Pamela Montt Álvarez (1788–1834).

Military service under Manuel IV

At the insistence of his father, Montt Álvarez enrolled in the San Salvador Imperial Military Academy in 1808 and became a military officer in the Creeperian Navy in 1812. Throughout his service under Emperor Manuel IV, he commanded ships, and later, fleets in the Senvarian Sea and had a remarkable career, significantly cracking down on piracy in the sea.

Military service under Adolfo III

By 1831, he had attained the rank of Vice Admiral, however, he had become to grow disillusioned with Manuel IV's reign, believing that he had began to turn his back on the Creeperian Catholic Church. Montt Álvarez was in San Salvador on 14 June 1833 when Adolfo III staged a revolution against Manuel IV, and he met with the new Emperor and negotiated himself a position of power.

On 15 June 1833, Adolfo III restructured the three branches of the Creeperian Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Imperial Guard). He established the positions of Chief Field Marshal, Chief Admiral, and Chief Guard, which would be the commanders of their respective branch. Adolfo III appointed Montt Álvarez as the first Chief Admiral of Creeperopolis.
