Réne Corentin Gramont was a Laeralian soldier, revolutionary statesman, and politician who led the Committee for Democracy and Progress in the Laeralian Civil War and served as the first President of the Republic of Laeral and later as the second President of the Second Allied Provinces of Laeral. As the leader of the Gang of Five during the Republic of Laeral period, he enacted wide-ranging reforms to the Laeralian state and Laeralian society known as the Rose Revolution, under the core principles of republicanism, reformism, socialism, secularism, and anti-imperialism, which were sometimes known as Gramontism. Gramont later became a major political force in the early years of the Second Allied Provinces of Laeral, serving as President from 1962 until his death in office in 1966. He is widely considered among the greatest figures in Laeralian history and an architect of modern Laeral; he often appears on lists of the greatest leaders of the 20th century.
Gramont initially came to prominence as a soldier in the army of the First Allied Provinces of Laeral, rising to the rank of Major in the First Fellsian War and becoming a decorated hero following victories at the battles of Poimur and Valengny. After his resignation from the Laeralian Army, he joined an underground group pushing for societal and governmental reform, known as the Committee for Democracy and Progress (CDP). When the Laeralian Civil War broke out in 1919, Gramont assumed command of the forces of the CDP, ultimately using his tactical acumen to defeat government forces and replace the First Allied Provinces with the Republic of Laeral.
He was elected as the Republic's first President in 1922, and subsequently reelected in 1927 for a second five-year term. His government enacted socialist and modernization programs with the ultimate goal of reforming Laeral into a modern, progressive, and tolerant nation. He created free nationwide public education, abolishing religious schooling and instituting a new nationwide curriculum. He reversed laws which promoted racial discrimination, and adopted redistributive policies meant to promote Rén empowerment. Under his rule, Laeralian women were emancipated under liberalized laws, and received social and civil rights similar to those of men. He also defeated Libertas Omnium Maximus in the Brissac War (1925-1928), bringing modern-day Brissac and Lematre provinces under Laeralian rule.
As the leader of Laeral's Social Democratic Party, he remained an influential figure in the development of the Laeralian state as his close allies Jean-Philippe Salaun, Zhou Wei-lin, and Sun Jia-wei went on to lead the Republic. During the Bloody Summer, he led government forces against Alain Mette's Laeralian Front, and played a major role in the drafting of the Laeralian Constitution, which created the Second Allied Provinces of Laeral. Hoping to check President François Guirard's policies, Gramont was named as the Foreign Minister of the new nation, becoming Prime Minister in 1958 and being elected President in 1962. As President of the Second Allied Provinces, he came under criticism for taking authoritarian actions during the Emergency Period. He died of a heart attack in 1966, and received a state funeral before being buried in the immense Gramont Mausoleum near his birthplace in Harcour.
