Paktoh Sa'Hom

Paktoh Sa'Hampaht (Mercama: ├┬┐┼○┘; August 13th, 1846 - September 11th, 1921) was a Suh'roh military leader and statesman who led various rebel campaigns across Southern Mercury during the turn of the 19th century. He was most famous as a leader that advocated for tribal Mercurian independence, and as a successful military leader against Venusian forces. Early Life Sa'Hom was born in August of 1846, in the small village of Pak'to'Sha near Izquierdo territory (now located within the jurisdiction of the Juhto Sansoh province since 1963). His father, Sapoh Sa'Hom was a blacksmith and his mother was said to be a local nurse. He joined the Colonial Army in the early 1860s and mostly traveled during this time.

Revolutionary views
As he matured, Sa'Hom spent his small earnings often on books, most of which were political philosophy books. His favourite authors appeared to be the Mer'coh poet Putar'yah and Venusian nationalist Kallyah Tokswylcki.

He eventually left the army and joined various guerilla groups in an effort to drive out the Venusian rulers of various tribal areas. During his 36 year campaign, he helped rebel forces gain nearly 90 square miles of land.
