Garibaldi?

Edit: Wait, he was probably TL5 too, I guess, so I'll give my third possibility -- Is it Ataturk?

No - this guy is solidly in the 1880-1940 timeframe.

Could be John Paul Jones, though he only reached that rank in the Russian Navy, and I don't know about the Teaching.

No, I don't think they were. Although the Marshal has his own brennvins sort named after him.

This person almost certainly had Leadership too, but it's not Nelson.
