Clément du Vent was a Lysian maritime explorer for Kingdom of Lysia. Clément du Vent was the first Europan to describe and map the Bay of Anjou and the shores of the Saint-Pierre river, which he named "Louvier". After being sent on a mission to explore the north of Aurelia to try to find a passage to the east, Clément du Vent landed on June 9, 1534 on the coast of present-day Louvier. He went up the Saint-Pierre River and mapped the interior lands and coasts of the country and founded the colony of Saint-Philippe, which would later become the capital of Lysian Louvier. He communicates and trades with the natives mainly in a peaceful way. He then returned to Lysia to inform the king of his discovery and returns twice to Louvier. He died of tubercolosis on his return from his third trip in 1575.
