George Washington

George Washington functions as an eighteenth‑century military commander and the nation’s first president whose writings and example operate as a moral and civic lodestar within the series. Referenced here as the copyist/author of Rules of Civility, Washington anchors presidential self‑image and rhetorical restraint; characters invoke his disciplined comportment, civic authority, and martial reputation to measure contemporary leadership, private habit, and competitive banter, reinforcing how founding‑era exemplars shape White House identity and conduct.
