## Personal details

### Biography

#### Early life

Beduor was born in Repoli. His parents were Blan Morelaud and Mathila Fourn. Beduor went to the state-sponsored Repoli Laupan School, which was full of anti-Laupan and pro-Yuran textbooks which also used the Kocist belief in the Council of Death. Not much is known about Beduor other than that the Repoli Laupan School taught him a fictional history about Waritania and how Craith  was sent to be tortured and killed by the Holy army of the Beshenists. As he finished elementary school, he had nowhere to go or anything to do, as Laupans in the Grand Republic of Waritania couldn't have higher education unless they went to the Repoli Beshenist Building and converted to Beshenism. And so shortly after finishing elementary school, he went to an illegal Laupan school known as the Laupan Knowledge School. Learning the true history of Waritania and the oppression of Laupans, he was quickly becoming nationalistic and dreamt of an independent Laupan state.

#### LRM activity

Beduor, alongside Valen, formed the Laupan Resistance Movement. The goal of their organization was to illegally educate Laupans, spread anti-Yuran rhetoric in territories with a majority Laupan population, arm Laupans with weapons and cause instability in the GRW.

For most of the LRM's existence, they did low-level activities such as handing out pistols and educating a small number of Laupans, but that all changed when Nel Travibron got elected. Shortly after his election, the total activity of the LRM drastically increased, some say that as much as half of the city was illegally taught by the LRM. Although most people that were taught in the LRM only wanted education and wanted nothing to do against the Waritan government, the LRM's membership increased after Nel's election. But only 2 months into his term Nel was assassinated by a Yuran Nationalist named Vibenot Sauv. After Nel's assassination, Erani Orant came into office, a nationalist, he dismissed Nel's promise of giving the Laupans freedom and continued the prosecution against them. After Erani's election, the LRM did not shy away and begun arming Laupans on mass and engaging in multiple political assassinations against governors and policemen for suspected sympathies for Erani's political party. On the start of the Waritan-Moyonasi War, Beduor, Valen and Colith Debien agreed to merge their groups into a single entity known as the Laupan Resistance Army, with Valen and Colith being the founders and Beduor commanding the peasants in the Laupan rebellion alongside Colith.

#### Governmental Position

After the successful Laupan rebellion and Waritan-Moyonasi war, the Republic of Laupa was proclaimed, with Valen as its Prime Minister, and Colith as the President. Beduor took the role of the Minister of War. As the minister of war, he oversaw most of the Laupan Security Forces, including the National Laupan Army.

#### Death

Beduor would go on to die at age 81 from a heart attack.
