Francis St. Jacques

disciplined strategic commanding incisive persistent unflinching

Haitian General Francis St. Jacques, forged in Annapolis alongside Joint Chiefs Chairman Fitzwallace, seizes command of the siege strangling the U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince. His 1,200 troops level A-15s and 105mm howitzers at the front doors, power outages inside amplifying desperation as diabetic staffers ration insulin. Nancy spotlights his pivotal role in the Situation Room crucible, where Bartlet wrestles grief against global brinkmanship—St. Jacques embodying the coup's militarized fist pounding sovereign boundaries.
