Léon Rom

Léon Auguste Théophile Rom (2 April 1859 – 30 January 1924) was a Belgian military officer and colonial administrator. His role in atrocities in the Congo Free State has led some to speculate that Rom served as an inspiration for the character of Kurtz in Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella Heart of Darkness.
