Ricardo Cornelio (5 April 1918 – 2 March 1980) was a Rakeoian politician and military officer.
Early life
Ricardo Cornelio was born in Olino on 5 April 1918. Having done well on his entry exams, and being born into a rich family, he began attending military academy at age 16. He became a lieutenant in the rapidly assembled Rakeo Expeditionary Support Force in 1938.
Military career
From the beginning of his military service, Cornelio leveraged his unwavering loyalty to his superiors to secure promotions, allowing him to dodge the reputation of treasonous activities associated with the Olino Garrison.
Recognizing his political astuteness, high command assigned him to work as an envoy to coordinate with the Romerists in Creeperopolis, but when he was recalled, alongside the rest of the army, to put down the revolts breaking out around the country, he joined the officers' mutiny.
He was tasked by General Mateo Jozefo to act as a military ambassador to community militias that had risen up throughout the Menora of Olino, where he excelled, bringing up an additional 30,000 soldiers, as well as creating an anti-partisan force that quickly put down Republican infiltration and sabotage efforts.
General Secretary
After Jozefo, who became de facto leader of Rakeo, was killed in the 1960 Grand Station bombing, Cornelio created a new position for himself as General Secretary of the Stratocratic Authority, making himself the sole executive power in the country. Areas believed to be strongholds of groups like Red Eagle were subject to population transfers of people deemed unloyal from elsewhere in the country, who were selected as forced government labor for the construction of both public works and military installations.
As the economy continued to faltered under strict isolationist policies instituted by his predecessor, Cornelio established a number of youth groups to target his political opponents in civil society as well as government. The largest of these groups, The League for a United and Prosperous Rakeo commanded over 8,000 members. Cornelist militias were designated as a vanguard against perversions of culture, leftism, and internationalism.
The extreme behavior of the General Secretary made a number of enemies, who, in 1974, secretly deposed him in a coup d'état. Cornelio was removed from office and put into house arrest until his reported death from natural causes on 2 March 1980.
