Black-Eyed Bolivar was once known as an esteemed Spanish general named Fernando Bolivar. He was born in 1674. Fernando grew up in a small house in Seville. At the age of eighteen, Fernando joined the military. By twenty eight, he was one of the highest ranking generals. One day, a man from England entered Seville. By this time, Fernando had built a mansion. The English man spotted one of Fernando's serfs, the beautiful Maria Gonzalez. Fernando bartered with the man, and eventually struck a deal. The man would give Fernando information, as long as he had Maria.
