Lucio Lento (February 6, 1754 - May 9, 1822; Illyrian Iberic: Luçeo Lento), posthumously referred to as "Le Lierato" (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.
