Jean Dupois (born Jean Servatus Dupois; 9 April 1753 – 18 July 1815) was an | Jean Dupois (born Jean Servatus Dupois; 9 April 1753 – 18 July 1815) was an Aciriano military and political leader who is known as the First [[Emperor of Aciria]]. He became a prominent military leader after managing to pacify revolts for the Free Republic of Aciria that were unmanageable until his arrival, most notably the Montagner Revolt of 1781 the Insulaire Revolt of 1783. He rose through the military ranks at unprecedented speeds, reaching the rank of Commander before he turned 30. After pacifying the Insulaire Revolt on Montvert and returning to Trosseurs, the First Speaker granted him the title of Marshal of Aciria, which further raised his popularity among the people. | ||
Dupois was born in Trévon to a local merchant. Dupois was known to be a troublemaker by both his family and his local community, causing his father to send him off to the Académie De la République in Trosseurs on his 16th birthday. Originally despising his father for this decision, he quickly adapted to the military lifestyle and even grew to enjoy the discipline of the army. During his first years out of the academy, he served in the personal guard for the First Speaker, which is where he had his firsthand experience with the democracy that was causing the nation to tear at the seams. Not caring much for politics until a peasant revolt in 1774 which caused his family to die, he grew to hate the inefficient democracy. He filed a personal request to both his commanding officer and the First Speaker to transfer him to Trévon to assist the troops in pacifying the region. Pitying the young man, he was transferred to Trévon, where he saw great success against the peasant revolt due to his personal knowledge of the small-scale revolts he had witnessed as a child in Trévon, allowing him to counter their strategies with ease. | Dupois was born in Trévon to a local merchant.
