Michel Sabbagh (b. 1696 AN) is an Aerlan politician, lawyer, and businessman who served as the third President of Aerla from 1740 AN to 1750 AN. Born to a Hatayyian-Nazarene family, he attended the University of Noursala and received a Master's Degree in Business. He is currently the CEO of the Sabbagh Financial Group, a financial holding company, a position he has held since the end of his Presidency in 1750 AN.
Sabbagh was the first, and as of 1750 AN the only, Conservative President in Aerla's history.
Biography
Early Life
Michel Sabbagh was born in early 1696 AN to a devout Hatayyian-Nazarene family in the town of Kramersville (Hatayyian: Suqhaa). His father, Amine, was a priest at the village church known for his bombastic and fiery sermons that imbued the young Michel with a passion for public speaking. His uncle, also named Michel, owned a large tomato farm outside of the village and owned the village bank. Sabbagh graduated from high school in 1714 AN and, against his father's wish for him to enter the priesthood, enrolled in the University of Noursala and enrolled in the school's Business program.
Presidency
Post-Presidency
During his time as President of Aerla, Sabbagh's position as Chairmain and CEO at Sabbagh Financial Group were given to his brother-in-law, Elias Ayoub. After he retired the Presidency he once again took over the company, making Elias the vice-chairman. In 1753 AN he was invited to become a delegate to the Concord Business Council, alongside Noursala Military-Industrial CEO Daniel Sonnenfeld.
Sabbagh was noted, despite their partisan rivalries, to get along quite well with Thomas Guthrie. In his final speech to his party colleagues given just before Guthrie's inauguration, Sabbagh stated that "On policy, we are complete opposites. But [Guthrie], he's a true Aerlan. I've had a deep personal respect for him after the assassination of Mr. Bose, God rest his soul. I dare to say he is a worthy successor as President." This speech particularly alienated that election's Conservative candidate Brandon Greiss, who had lost in a landslide against Guthrie.
