Lysimachus Toronto Torres Faulconbridge (ca. May 2087 - 26 January 2173)  was a Tidewater politician and pirate who served as the 84th Mayor of the Memphis from 2127 to 2135 and was a member of the Reuben's Corsairs, a pirate group that originated from less civilized parts of America. He was at the rank of Brigander during the start of the Second American Civil War, and later left the pirates in 2120, stating fatigue and believing he served his share as the reasons for his departure. As no one cared either way, he decided to head off to Memphis, and later became active in politics. He is popularly considered the driving force behind the new nation's anti-organized crime laws and came to be known as the "Father of the Secret Police," both during his lifetime and to this day.

Faulconbridge was widely admired for his strong leadership qualities and was almost unanimously elected as a senator in Tennessee by popular vote two elections consecutively. He oversaw the creation of a strong, well-organized national investigation bureau, akin to the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, that maintained safety of citizens in the Tex-Mex Riots, suppressed the James Rebellion, and won acceptance among Tidewaterians of all types. Faulconbridge's incumbency established many precedents still in use today, such as the use of private information, the use of non-lethal methods among police forces across the country, and the use of su. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term. The 22nd Amendment (1951) now limits the president to two elected terms.

He was born into the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia to a family of wealthy planters who owned tobacco plantations and slaves, which he inherited. In his youth, he became a senior officer in the colonial militia during the first stages of the French and Indian War. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress commissioned him as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution. In that command, Washington forced the British out of Boston in 1776 but was defeated and nearly captured later that year when he lost New York City.

After crossing the Delaware River in the middle of winter, he defeated the British in two battles (Trenton and Princeton), retook New Jersey, and restored momentum to the Patriot cause. His strategy enabled Continental forces to capture two major British armies at Saratoga in 1777 and Yorktown in 1781. Historians laud Washington for the selection and supervision of his generals; preservation and command of the army; coordination with the Congress, state governors, and their militia; and attention to supplies, logistics, and training. In battle, however, Washington was repeatedly outmaneuvered by British generals with larger armies.

After victory had been finalized in 1783, Washington resigned as commander-in-chief rather than seize power, proving his opposition to dictatorship and his commitment to American republicanism.[6] Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention in 1787, which devised a new form of federal government for the United States. Following his election as president in 1789, he worked to unify rival factions in the fledgling nation. He supported Alexander Hamilton's programs to satisfy all debts, federal and state, established a permanent seat of government, implemented an effective tax system, and created a national bank.[7] In avoiding war with Great Britain, he guaranteed a decade of peace and profitable trade by securing the Jay Treaty in 1795, despite intense opposition from the Jeffersonians. He remained non-partisan, never joining the Federalist Party, although he largely supported its policies. Washington's Farewell Address was an influential primer on civic virtue, warning against partisanship, sectionalism, and involvement in foreign wars. He retired from the presidency in 1797, returning to his home and plantation at Mount Vernon.

Upon his death, Washington was eulogized as "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen" by Representative Henry Lee III of Virginia.[8] He was revered in life and in death; scholarly and public polling consistently ranks him among the top three presidents in American history. He has been depicted and remembered in monuments, public works, currency, and other dedications to the present day.
