Ramiro Dull

Ramiro Dull (born April 15th, 2405) is a member of the Redemption Party, founder of the Western Dovani Cooperation Accord, and former Foreign Minister of the Free Republic of Lourenne.

Born to steel mill workers in St. Domitius, Haboves, Dull worked (illegally) in a small-scale textile factory until the age of thirteen, when his father was killed in an accident at work. His mother sent him to live with relatives in Ceran, Haboves, where Dull attended school for the first time and was eventually accepted into the Université de Haboves on a private scholarship. He studied philosophy and became interested in politics, although the dangerous political climate prevented him from pursuing the career of an activist. In 2425, Dull became a school teacher in Ceran, but ten years later he was swept into politics by a riot in Ceran. The eastern provinces were rioting over the Merovichi scandals, but the more affluent Ceran was rioting against the eastern opposition. Torn between his two disparate upbringings and his ideals, Dull sided with the proletarian, counter-Merovichian east and was forced to flee Ceran.

Dull lived in Valois, New Kreshar until the revolution two years later. He traveled to Aures, Alvium at the request of Bennie Hutton, and there helped to form the Redemption Party. Dull worked in various Ministries for ten years until he became Foreign Minister in 2447 under President Claude Michaud of the Liberal Humanist Party. The following year, Dull succeeded in having the Global Emancipation Treaty, the Comprehensive Gay Rights Treaty, and the Freedom of Religion Treaty ratified by Lourenne's Parliament, the first time any treaty had been ratified by the Free Republic.

When Lourenne withdrew from all treaties in 2451 (only three years after the first one had been ratified), Dull committed himself to working on international diplomacy without the support of the legislature. Dull formed the Western Dovani Cooperation Accord (WDCA) in January of 2452 in order to promote cooperation between Lourenne, Sekowo, Hulstria & Gao-Soto, Kazulia, Dranland, and Talmoria. The organization was successful and contains active participants from each country.

In the early 2460s, Dull worked to prevent war between Sekowo and Beiteynu over the colonization of Squibble, and was reasonably successful, serving as a voice of reason in a chaotic, sometimes violent conference between Dovanian powers and the more powerful Accord des Nations Amicales.

On July 9, 2468, Dull was kidnapped by the Deltarian government while attending a conference in the Deltárska Federácia for the promotion of a change in the Deltarian regime. He was accompanied by six cohorts, but none of them have been heard from since.
