Juvencio Robles ...

JUVENCIO ROBLES
... - 1920

Nicknamed The Torch, Robles burnt his way through Morelos twice

Having literally had a blast during the Mexican Revolution of 1910, Brigadier General Juvencio Robles was also known as El Insendiario or The Torch.

Juvencio Robles became military commander for Morelos in February 1912.

His target? Emiliano Zapata and his revolutionaries. His specialty? Cruelty.

Check this event out in the Timeline of the Mexican Revolution.

By June 1912 it had gotten way too nasty and President Francisco Madero replaced him with Felipe Ángeles.

After Victoriano Huerta had managed to get rid of Madero, the job as federal arsonist for Morelos became vacant once more. By April 1913 Robles was back again and torching away.

However, Juvencio Robles could only keep his job until October 1913, when he was replaced by Brigadier General Adolfo Jiménez Castro.
