Bernard Benjamin Bonnet Bryson Barrett Bertrand Beaumont is a Fravi politician who is serving as the 8th President of Fravina, 7th Premier of Fravina, and as General Secretary of the Social Labour Party. He served as Vice President under Pierre Blanchet and Jean-Michel Garnier, resigning in 2008 as a protest againt Garnier's shift towards authoritarianism.

Early Life

Bernard Benjamin Bonnet Bryson Barrett Bertrand Beaumont was born on 14 December 1953 in Cour de Valentine, a mid-sized city in Orléans, Fravina, to butcher Jacques-Maurice Beaumont and Évelyn Pleven. In 1956, his family relocated to Maximillien, a small fishing town in Romarin, to support his paternal family after his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. In his autobiography, Beaumont describes how he helped around his family fishery. "On the weekends, Uncle Edgar would wake me up at 5 A.M., even when it was still dark out," Beaumont wrote. "We would work 4 hours, eat lunch on the boat, then work for another 4 hours. It was grueling work, but just being able to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets everyday made it worth it."

In 1969, after graduating from school, Beaumont was drafted into the Fravina Navy. He was stationed Port de Barbier, Barbier, where he served for 2 years. Beaumont often cites his naval service as having an immense impact on his political development. He claims both interaction with southern socialists and his friendships with fellow seamen made him more committed to the collective good and to socialist ideology. In July 1971, a few months before his discharge, he met then-president Lucien LaClaire during a naval ceremony in Barbier. Beaumont was honorably discharged on 1 January 1972, and he returned to civilian life.

In September 1971, a few months before his service ended, Beaumont started attending university in Seylos, majoring in philosophy. Although his grades were average, his professors commended him as being a "fast thinker". During his second year at university, Beaumont officially became a member of the Social Labour Party. He went on to study law at Université Nationale de Droit de Fort d'Olivier, graduating in June 1978.

Early Career

After finishing a law program, Beaumont became a certified lawyer in early 1979. Later that year, he moved to Port de Sang, joining the city's prosecutor's office. During his years as a practicing lawyer, he was noted as being brilliant in court. Contempararies called him "dangerous" and a "master in laying traps", despite his relaxed and affable demeanor. However, Beaumont has countered this image of himself, saying in an 1999 interview, "I wasn't great in court. Roger Lalonde was great in court. I am no Roger Lalonde. I was just a lawyer."

In 1986, he was chosen to become part of the Manoir Exécutif legal counsel to presdent and premier Marie Boche.

Early political career (1991-2003)

In 1990, the Social Labor Party added Beaumont to the party-list on recommendation of Vice President Antoine Luce. Despite being ranked low on the list, Beaumont entered the Wing of Legislation in 1991 as the election proved to be a landslide.
