Elliott Dupont is a Cirréonese revolutionary, politician and political theorist and is the founder and first Vox Populi of the Second Commune of Cirréone. He was the founder and chairman of the (second) Cirréonese Stepanist Party, which led the Firework Revolution that established the Second Commune of Cirréone.

Born an orphan to a working-class family in Felicie, Dupont embraced revolutionary socialist politics, more specifically Stepanism, due to his uncle's Stepanist views and following his admission into the University of Milacieur. Dupont would form the underground Cirréonese Stepanist Party, would lead the formation of several labour unions in Cirréone and lead several strikes, before being briefly arrested for sedition and imprisoned. Following his sentence he would attempt to organise a revolution, however it would only result in several large-scale protest, violently supressed by the Federation government, known as the Felicie Revolt. After several more years of coordination and forming Stepanoff's Guard, the militant wing of the CSP, Dupont would launch the Firework Revolution by executing Manon Giroud, ousting the Federation Government and stablishing the Second Commune of Cirréone.

Early life

Childhood

Elliott Dupont was born in Felicie West, an only child and an orphan, with his mother, Marie Dupont, dying in childbirth. Marie Dupont was a prostitute living in Felicie, being the reason behind which she met Dupont's father, Gerard Peurtrov. Peurtrov was an upper-middle class industrialist responsible for managing many Felicoal sites in Felicie West. As his had mother passed, Dupont was taken care of by his uncle, Pierre Dupont. Pierre Dupont had fought in the June Revolution, 11 years prior, and so would be a large influence on Dupont's political radicalisation. According to those around him, the young Dupont is said to have read a lot in his spare time, being taught to read by his uncle.

When Dupont was 11, his uncle would become paralysed from the hips down in a tragic accident at his work place, forcing Dupont into child labour as to support both himself and his uncle. In this time in which Dupont would be working, his uncle would often discuss politics with him, being his first source of radicalisation. However, when Dupont was 15, his uncle would pass, leaving his entire life savings to Dupont, with which he would attend the University of Milacieur, studying philosophy.

University and political radicalisation

Upon entering the University of Milacieur, Dupont would begin to read into the philosophical works his uncle had recommended to him, namely Capital, And It's Crushing Weight by Valerie Stepanoff. Stepanoff's works would resonate deeply with Dupont, who would go on to read her entire catalogue of books in a matter of months, along with works by other Stepanist and socialist writers such as Sebastian Kouzmine and Leon Crivanne. Following his endeavours into Stepanist theory, Dupont would be invited to the university's League of Stepanists, a Stepanist circle of the University of Milacieur's students, by a classmate. Here he would meet Paul Grasé, who would become his life-long friend and right-hand man. Within a very short amount of time, Dupont would grow incredibly popular among the League for his impressive debating skills, evocative speeches, and deep understanding of Stepanoff's works and their principles. At age 17, Dupont would go to found his newspaper, 'Our War in Print,' a Stepanist publication, under which he would write by the penname 'Edouard Demonde' as to evade prosecution by the Federation Government. The newspaper would quickly gain traction in Stepanist circles as one of their only functioning publications. At age 19, Dupont would graduate from the University of Milacieur with a degree in Philosophy.
