  • Francois Hercule Baptiste (17 April 1883 - 4 May 1944) was a French politician, political theorist, propagandist and national figure during the Albertine and Civil War eras, most well known as the Secretary of Information at the State Ministry during the Iron Revolution, as Emperor Albert I's chief advisor and aide during the bulk of his reign, and as the dictatorial State Minister during the French Civil War. As one of the primary architects of one of the darkest chapters in French history, he is widely regarded as one of the most hated, reviled and controversial people in world history. Baptiste emerged as one of Albert I's most trusted men in the late 1920's, and soon was charged with running the day-to-day affairs of the Imperial bureaucracy as the Emperor's health declined. In 1938, he effectively seized power in a political coup to install his confidants throughout the bureaucracy with Albert I's approval, and made many decisions on the war effort without Imperial approval after Edmond had been coronated in 1939. The rift between Edmond and Baptiste is credited with kneecapping the Imperial war efforts and contributed to the Sebastienite victory in 1943, after which Baptiste and the Loyalists fled to the south to continue a guerrilla campaign. He was captured at Torello in 1944 and received a summary execution on May 4, despite Sebastien's explicit orders that he be returned to Paris to stand in front of the Guttendorp Commission.
