Andrew Locke

Andrew Locke the son of Demosthenes Locke was an early Enlightenment scholar during what is known as the Scientific Revolution in Europe. Born in Vienna during the Plague of 1542, he moved to the University at Hanford when he was 20 to study architecture and theology. Little is known of his achievements save that his only publication, the "Libre Pax" was banned by the churches in both Italy and England, and all copies were subsequently burned. It is believed that Locke has writen other pieces: spanning physics, geometry, languages, english literature, and was well educated in governmental ideas and ideologies. Unfortunately, these texts have not been found, rather only being alluded to in other sources. It was well-known that Locke was fluent in the Aztec language, an uncommon trait in 16th century Italy. Locke himself fled to Latin America to escape persecution for an unknown crime against the Catholic Church, circa de 1570. During this time Andrew Locke became intimately involved in the polictial dealings of Latin America's political culture. Near the end of his life, Locke had a relligous epiphany, and for his last years worked as a missionary for the Church in Italy. Also during this time Locke made many enemies not only in Latin America but in Europe as well. No more of his life is known, save that he died of typhoid, and at some point commissioned a painting of himself with a group of conquistadores in a political protest against the exploitation of natives in San Cercalago, now known as Quito, Ecuador.
