''Prafáti Princeps Glássariaei'' '''Guillaume Maria d'Agostino''' <small>[[Order of Joanus|CC]] [[Imperial Order of the Holy Cross|MHC]] [[Order of the Kestrel|OC]]</small> (born 11 February, 1966) is the commandant of the [[New Yustona|New Yustonan]] [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]], having been designated as such on the creation of the [[New Yustona|New Yustonan]] [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]] on September 1st, 2021, by [[LUDC]] leadership at the recommendation of [[Phillip de Stonne]], [[Chief of Defence (Yonderre)|Chief of Defence]] of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]].   

Having previously held commands in the [[Yonderian Defence Force|YDF]] [[Training Command (Yonderre)|Training Command]], d'Agostino was perceived as an ideal candidate to organize and oversee the training and subsequent combat actions of the fledgling Royal and Confederate Army. d'Agostino was granted administrative furlough from the YDF to travel to [[New Yustona]] in early August of 2021 alongside a number of other YDF volunteers, who were then sworn in on September 1st, 2021. Modelled largely on the YDF and under d'Agostino's supervision, the Royal and Confederate Army has been centralized from its many local militias into a more modern army, although it still lacks the heavy equipment to fight offensive wars independently.

Finishing his basic training in 1984, he was assigned to the [[1st Infantry Division (Yonderre)|1st Infantry Division]] as an enlisted rifleman. d'Agostino was soon picked out for his leadership potential and promoted to Sergeant after a brief training stint in 1985. d'Agostino worked his way up to commissioned officer in 1988 when he attained the rank of Lieutenant and attended the [[Yonderian Command and Staff College]] between 1989-1990, graduating with a promotion to Captain. d'Agostino then transferred from the 1st Infantry Division to [[Training Command (Yonderre)|Training Command]], initially as commandant of the relatively modest Saneurst Training Camp, a command he held for until 1995 when he transferred to the larger Gouvier Training Camp in [[Vollardie]], again as commandant. With his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel in 2000, d'Agostino transferred to Training Command Staff, Doctrinal Department, where he helped form future training regimes for the YDF.  

In 2010 d'Agostino was once more given command of a Training Camp, this time in [[Sainte-Catherine]]. d'Agostino was awarded the [[Order of the Kestrel|Cross of the Order of the Kestrel]] in 2010 for his exemplary leadership and work in Training Command. In 2019, co-inciding with his promotion to Colonel General, d'Agostino was awarded the [[Order of Joanus|Knight's Cross of the Order of Joanus]], Yonderre's highest award for leadership. Because of his lengthy service with Training Command, d'Agostino was perceived as an ideal candidate to organize and oversee the training and subsequent combat actions of the fledgling Royal and Confederate Army of [[New Yustona]]. d'Agostino was granted administrative furlough from the YDF to travel to [[New Yustona]] in early August of 2021 alongside a number of other YDF volunteers, who were then sworn in on September 1st, 2021.
