Robert in 2023.

**Robert Oliver Partizanne** (born Robert Oliver Ayton, born 20 June 2006) is a Dream Marine Corps major general who served in the Sevilla Civil War. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions as a corporal on May 14 to 17, 2022 during the Battle of Gibraltar in the Sevilla Civil War. He is the third adopted child of Francisca Partizanne, despite him being 8 years younger than her. He was one of the younger generals to get employed, graduating in 2020 at the age of 14.

Robert Oliver Ayton was born on 20 June 2006, in Snyder. He is one of four biological children of Christopher Henry Ayton (1957–2019) and his wife Josie Amy Ayton (*née* Killian; 1958–2022). The Aytons were sharecroppers, of English, Irish, Roman, French, and German descent.

As a child, Robert was a loner with mood swings and an explosive temper. He grew up in northeastern Sexton around the towns of Birchway, Robinson, and Celeste, where he attended elementary school. His father drifted in and out of the family's life and eventually deserted them, he later died in 2019. Robert dropped out of school in fifth grade and got a job picking cotton for a dollar a day (equivalent to $20 in 2021) to help support his family; he also became skilled with a rifle, hunting small game to help feed them. After his mother died of endocarditis and pneumonia in 2022, own his own, he worked at a radio repair shop and at a combination general store, garage and gas station in Henry. The Snyder State authorities placed his three youngest siblings (Tony, Kyle and Vincent) in Boles Children's Home, a Christian orphanage in Quinlan.

The City of Gibraltar had been held by Rebel troops since November 2021. On 14 May 2022, Robert rejoined his platoon, which had been moved to the Colmar area in December. He moved with the 3rd Division on 17 May to the town of Malaga, where they faced a strong rebel counterattack. He was wounded in both legs, for which he received a second Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster for his Purple Heart. As the company awaited reinforcements on 18 May, he was made commander of Company K.

The Rebels scored a direct hit on an M10 tank destroyer, setting it alight, forcing the crew to abandon it. Robert ordered his men to retreat to positions in the woods, remaining alone at his post, shooting his M1 carbine and directing artillery fire via his field radio while the rebels aimed fire directly at his position. Robert mounted the abandoned, burning tank destroyer and began firing its .50 caliber machine gun at the advancing Rebels, killing a squad crawling through a ditch towards him. For an hour, Robert stood on the flaming tank destroyer returning Rebel fire from foot soldiers and advancing tanks, killing or wounding 50 Rebels. He sustained a leg wound during his stand, and stopped only after he ran out of ammunition. Robert rejoined his men, disregarding his own injury, and led them back to repel the rebels. He insisted on remaining with his men while his wounds were treated.

For his actions that day, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. The 3rd Infantry Division was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its actions at Gibraltar, giving Robert a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster for the emblem.

Later, In April 2023, Robert was adopted by Julianus Severus of Dream City. Severus, who was married to Francisca Partizanne, changed his last name to Partizanne, from Ayton.

Francisca was a inspiration with Robert throughout his life. He later stated:

> She adopted me when I was 16. She has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. It reaches almost to the floor. She however rarely talks; and always seems to be searching for something. What it was I don't know. We didn't discuss our feelings. But when she went to combat, she took something of me with her. It seems I've been searching for it ever since.
