Zachary R. Porter

Zachary Rafe Porter (10 March 1860 – 1 July 1917) was a Nic-Danian general known for his leadership during the Revolt Crisis and the First Isladanic War. As a prominent military figure in Nic-Dan, he played a crucial role in the country's history, gaining recognition for his strategic victories and contributions to the nation's defense.
== Early Life ==
Zachary Rafe Porter was born on 10 March 1860 in London, British Dania. He came from a family of military background, with his father and grandfather both serving in the British Army. This legacy influenced Porter's decision to join the military at a young age, and he showed exceptional skills in leadership and strategy during his training.
== Revolt Crisis ==
During the Revolt Crisis, Porter joined the rebels and quickly rose through the ranks due to his impressive leadership skills and military expertise. He successfully captured the cities of New Leeds, Pembroke, and Pittsburg, establishing a strong foothold for the rebels in the region. His strategic planning and decisive actions were crucial for the success of the rebellion.
After the Revolt Crisis ended in September 1902, Porter was offered several political positions in the Nic-Danian government but declined, choosing to remain in the military.
== First Isladanic War ==
When the First Isladanic War broke out in 1914, Porter was tasked with leading the Nic-Danian forces in the invasion of the neighboring island nation of Lunasia. He played a vital role in the initial stages of the war, commanding successful invasions of Saint George and Pyall, as well as Lunasia and Asdania.
However, in early 1916, Porter was transferred to the Dalanic Front, much to his dismay. Under his leadership, the Nic-Danian army made significant advances, threatening the Dalanic capital of Likavra. But the tide turned in the Battle of Mursa when the Nic-Danian forces were eventually defeated after five months of fierce fighting.
== Death ==
On 1 July 1917, Porter's forces were encircled by Dalanic forces, and he knew that capture was imminent. Rather than facing humiliation and imprisonment, he chose to commit suicide, ending his life and military career on his own terms. The loss of Porter was a significant blow for the Nic-Danian army and the nation as a whole.
