Early Life and Education

Louis Valjean was born in 4.III.1686 AN in Parap, Wechua Nation, to Marcel and Élodie Valjean. He showed an early interest in politics and governance, inspired by his parents who were both naturalized Alexandrian refugees living in the Wechua Nation and working as civil servants. Valjean pursued his higher education at the prestigious Royal University of Parap, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and later a Master's degree in International Relations.

Career

After completing his education, Valjean began his career as a political analyst with the Institute of Public Opinion (IOP), where he honed his skills in public polling and political strategy. His keen insights and accurate predictions quickly gained him recognition in the field. In 1708 AN, Valjean joined NBC Newsfeed as a junior analyst and occasional commentator.

His counterpart at NBC News, Senior Election Analyst Calvin Gold, is known to be a close friend and mentor.

In 1727 AN, Valjean left NBC Newsfeed to serve as an advisor to Marissa Santini and the Federal Consensus Party (FCP) while Santini was Leader of the Opposition.
