A veteran of the Mexican War of Independence, he played a key role in formalizing the alliance between Vicente Guerrero and Agustín de Iturbide which ended the war and secured Mexican independence. In the decade after he held senior commands in northern Mexico, notably as comandante general of the Estado de Occidente, before being appointented governor of Alta California where he served from 1833 until his death in 1835.
