Tomas Ramirez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tomas Santiago Ramirez is a fictional character in the Honorverse. He was born on the high-gravity planet San Martin in the Trevor's Star system. He was twelve when the People's Republic of Haven invaded. Escaping to Manticore, he later joined the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps. He commanded the Marine detachments aboard HMS Fearless and HMS Nike when Honor Harrington commanded those vessels. By the time of San Martin's voluntary annexation into the Star Kingdom of Manticore, Tomas Ramirez had become a Brigadier General in the Manticoran Marines, and helped set the provisional government of San Martin.

Tomas Ramirez belonged to a family of high standing on San Martin; his father, Commodore Jesus Ramirez, was the last commander of the San Martin Navy, and his great uncle Hector was the last President of San Martin. The Ramirez family helped organize the resistance against the Havenite occupation, and in response the Havenites wiped out every member of the Ramirez family left on San Martin.
