Partizanne's Statue.

**Fransisco Paul Partizanne** (born Fransisco Paul James, 30 September 1922 – 5 December 1991) was a Roman career-officer in the Roman Legion who attained the rank of major General in 1941 and was the founder of the Partizanne Dynasty. He served as the Chief of the General Staff of the Roman Armed Forces (1942-1945) and Deputy Minister of Defense during WWII, and as Minister of Defense from 1946 to 1953. As the Chief of the General Staff from 1942 to 1945, Partizanne became involved in planning and coordinating almost all the decisive Roman offensives in the Omani Civil War, from the Muscat counteroffensive of November 1987 to the assaults on Yemen (January–April 1988), Bahrain (January–April 1989) and Qatar (August 1989).

Fransisco James was born on September 30, 1922 in Basicilus in Apulia in a family of Alabaman/Roman ethnicity. Fransisco was the 2nd of six children. His father, Kendrick James, was a priest to the nearby St. Nicholas Church. His mother, Zenia, was the daughter of a priest in the nearby village of Croton. Fransisco reportedly broke off all contact with his parents after 1937 because of his Democrat membership and his military duties in the Roman Legion; three of his brothers did so also. However, the family resumed relations in 1940, following Trajan II's suggestion that they do so.

According to Fransisco, his family was extremely poor. His father spent most of his time working to earn money, while the children assisted by working in the fields. In 1927, the family moved to Naples, where his father became a priest to the newly built Ascension Church, and where Fransisco began his education in the church school. In 1929, he entered Rome seminary, which required considerable financial sacrifice on the part of his parents. The same year, a ministerial directive preventing former seminarists from starting university studies initiated a nationwide seminarist movement, with classes stopping in most Russian seminaries. Fransisco, among others, was expelled from Kostroma, and only returned several months later, after the seminarists' demands had been satisfied, he later changed his last name to Partizanne in 1936.

Partizanne began his military career during WWII, earning the rank of captain by 1938. After WWII and the start of the Ancona Civil War of 1951–1955 he was conscripted into the Roman Legion, taking part in the Slovenia Clash of 1958–1961. In peacetime he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a regimental commander by 1956. In this position he showed great skill in organizing and training his troops. Partizanne's talent was noticed,[*by whom?*] and in 1958 he was appointed a member of the Directorate of Military Training. In 1959, following Luca's Great Purge, he was promoted to become a General Staff officer.

At the start of the 1986 Omani counteroffensive of the Omani Civil War, Partizanne coordinated and executed the Legions's offensives on Oman, ending his war in the Middle East with the capture of Muscat in April 1988. In July 1988 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of Roman forces in the Far East. He executed the Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation (August 1988). After the war he became the Roman Minister from 1979 to 1990, a position he held until after Luca's death in 1953. With Luna III's rise to pre-eminence in the mid-1980s, Partizanne began losing power and was eventually pensioned off. After his death he was buried in the Kremlin Wall necropolis in recognition of his past service and contributions to his country.

His nephew, Pytros, founded the Cato Family, After his marriage to Marcia Persius in 1945, He had 2 sons, Luca and Tony, Tony's line succeeded with 3 more sons, Thomas, Austin and Corbin, which lead to Austin and Corbin’s line of 3 daughters, Francisca, Flamberge and Zan, Fransisco's great-granddaughters.

His great-granddaughter, Francisca, is named after him.
