Marlène Élisabeth Backès (née Bittencourt; born February 13th, 1989) is a Castillian attorney and politician who is the current President of the Castillian Federation since 2035, the first woman to hold this position. The founder and current leader of the Partirévolutionnaire-Institutionnel (PRI), she previously served as a member of the Federal Senate before assuming the presidency, and prior to her career in the legislature as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Development under former Presidents John Henry Adams and Jacques Perier. Marianne ranked Backès as the most powerful woman in the Castillian Federation and as the fourth most powerful woman in Greater Dienstad in 2035.
The daughter of a stockbroker and a film actress, Backès came to prominence in 2014 when serving as an attorney and prosecutor for the Socialistenat's secret police, the Encapuchonné-Cagoulés, where she was accused of sedition after ordering the arrest of John Paul Nee, a senior Socialistenat official, architect of the Épreuves, and member of Chancellor John Oswald Vaughn's inner circle for crimes against humanity after discovering the scope of the Plan d'Extermination. She was stripped of her party position, awards, and sent to Travailcamp No. 42 Vérany, where she was freed with other prisoners by Mokan military forces on October 17, 2015 during the Second Castillian-Mokan War. After being vetted by coalition leadership, she served as a prosecutor for the International Coalition Tribunal for Prosecution of Castillian War Criminals and later entered private law practice until appointed to serve in the State Secretariat, overseeing the Secretariat's foreign aid and development programs. Elected to the Federal Senate in 2028, she entered the legislature in 2029 as a relatively conservative member of the Labour Party, splitting with party leadership during the 2034 economic downturn and mounting her own presidential campaign that same year, beating Harvey Hershey in a heavily contested election that resulted in the May '35 Crisis and the failed self-coup led by Hershey. She was sworn into office on July 15, 2035.
Backès is a Castulingian Cerisian and subscribes to socially moderate and fiscally libertarian views. Under her administration, the Castillian Federation has underwent numerous major reforms to include the passing of a new constitution which established a bicameral legislature, the deregulation of the economy, mandating the Central Bank of the Castillian Federation recognize foreign and private currencies as legal tender and using the datary as a standard reserve currency in a shift modelled off that of the Golden Throne's monetary policies, the withdrawal of all Castillian troops from Asadabad, forcing the People's Unified Federation to withdraw from military bases on Castillian soil, and détente with the Großordenstaat.
