((Hey, I'm a bit late, would it be possible to create a de Leon character although the family is already taken? I'm just going to post a preliminary character and will edit appropriately later.))
Name: Carlos Maria de Alvear y Ponce de Leon
Date of birth: 25 October 1789
Occupation: Army officer
Background: Aristocrat
Religion: Catholic
Personality: Intelligent/Intuitive
Bio: Carlos was the son of a Spanish nobleman and a creole mother. He was born in the city of Santo Angel in the north of the Viceroyalty of La Plata. When he was fifteen, his mother and brothers were killed when their ship came under attack from English warships in a prelude to the Battle of Trafalgar, with he and his father captured by the English and imprisoned for some time. It was in this time that he learned English in addition to Spanish, Latin, French, Italian, Portuguese and some Tupí and Guaraní, which his father taught him. When Argentina declared its independence soon after the English released him from imprisonment, he sided with Spain when the rebels killed his father. After leading loyalist troops against the independence rebels for a couple years, his superiors realized they could not win against the Argentinians and surrendered, something which angered Carlos. He moved to Spain and accepted up his father's noble titles as well as command of some armies, hoping to get revenge against the Argentinians for his family's death.
Carlos is a devout Catholic, attending church as often as he can when not leading troops, writing mathematical and astronomical treatises, drawing maps, and writing his memoirs. He is an aspiring politician who seeks to serve Spain in the best way that he can and is fiercely loyal to his superiors and the Throne, but for now prefers to remain neutral on the matter of the succession.
