description: "Rafael Ramón Intxauspe Méndez, or Pedro Rafael Inchauspe Méndez, known internationally as Rafael de Nogales Méndez was a Venezuelan soldier, spy, writer, and adventurer. He rejected the term adventurer, preferring to describe himself as a \"knight-errant\" driven by the motto \"act or die.\" During World War I, he served as a general in the army of the Ottoman Empire and was a key Western witness to the events surrounding the Armenian genocide."
