Yes, in a sense. He was a fictional character in the bestselling philosophical novel "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. He was described as the "Head of State", a position equivalent to that of "President".
He tried to persuade John Galt to help the government, even threatening torture - though he didn't actually wish to come out and say so.
He later presumably perished in the riots and breakdown of civil order in New York City.

What is atlas shrugged by ayn rand about?
The title of the book is best explained by a conversation between Francisco and Hank Rearden. Below is a quotation within Atlas Shrugged from that discussion(Part 1, page 422). "Mr. Rearden," said Francisco, his voice solemnly calm, "if you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier he world bore down on his shoulders - what would you tell him to do?" "I... don't know. What... could he do? What would you tell him?" "To shrug." There are individuals within the novel who are the great minds and producers of the world. The efforts of these individuals maintain society. In essence, those individuals are the atlas of the society. The question posed within the book is what would happen if these people were to shrug?

What are the traits of a hero according to Thompson?
Stith Thompson, an American scholar of folklore, rewrote the Aarne-Thompson classification system for folktales. In his work, the hero is usually simply the protagonist of the story, and is not required to meet specific criteria.Nicholas Thompson, senior editor at The New Yorker, argues that, in American historical tradition, certain traits are usually associated with heroism:* Bravery: heroes must be brave beyond the garden variety. * Nobility: heroes must act towards goals we all approve of. * Ingenuity: they must be able to think out of the box. * Success: they must achieve what was not achieved before.He proceeds to argue that the definition of heroism has been subject to inflation, and states that, in modern times, a fifth trait is often associated with heroism:* Victimhood: whether or not any of the above traits apply, whether or not they succeeded in overcoming it, people often attribute heroism to those who have faced great adversity.Then there's a Mr. Thompson in the television series Heroes, who might attribute paranormal traits to its subjects, and a Mr. Thompson, Head of State in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, who might find heroes more trouble than they're worth.It would help knowing what Thompson you're referring to.
