Biography: Born in 1970 in Al-Salibiyyn. His parents were originally oil workers but lost their jobs during the late 1970s. Celebet always had his sights in high places. He originally planned to move to the USA but the oil crisis in the late 70s left his family destitute and suffering. He moved to Haferdaz to work in a factory during his teen years where he became hateful and resentful of big business and capitalism. Celebet finished (Tawnat’s equilavent to High School) but never received a University education. {You could use the lack of university education as an additional weakness if you liked, which means you could probably add another strength.} He joined labor movements and helped organize several worker’s strikes during the 1980s. He lamented the loss of the USSR and the fall of socialism. He was outraged by Saudi Arabia’s allowance of American troops to occupy their nation during the Persian Gulf War, which caused him to start losing faith in Islam.
In 1995 he felt himself called to duty during the civil war, enlisting himself in the rebel army. He didn’t care that he had to fight alongside Islamists or Liberals so long as he resisted the Al-Zaruq regime. He was placed behind the lines as a truck driver and never got to see real combat. {Why didn't he see any real combat? You could probably give him a bit more to do here, it wouldn't be a problem.}
After the war and the failure of the revolt he went back to his home in Al-Salibiyyn, keeping a low profile to avoid arrest by the secret police. He stayed with his childhood family until 2000 when he met his wife. Him and his wife lived in Haferdaz and were part of several underground government groups. These groups mainly focused on organizing civil resistance in a nonviolent manner, however they preceded to keep their resistance small and sporadic to avoid arrest by Al-Zaruq’s police.
After the 2012 revolution Dokmud traveled back home to prepare for the 2014 elections. It was at this time that he became an official member for the Tawnati People’s Vanguard Party, the country’s largest Marxist party. He was elected to the Albarlaman but his party was unable to break into the mainstream vote as most voters wanted a return to calm after the past few tumultuous years as opposed to total change as the TPVP advocated.
His policies are more traditional Marxist-Leninist, in that he wants a Socialist Vanguard Party to defend the dictatorship of the proletariat and the transition to an eventual Communist State. He generally supports secular social policies, however he will mention Islam and use it as a justification for transferring to Socialism, despite his closet atheism. He is extremely influential in the TPVP, being one of its longest sitting members. {Why is he so eminent in the TPVP if he only joined after the Revolution? Does he have longer term ties to the underground communist movement? Please elaborate.}
He now plans to run for President in the 2020 Presidential Election and finally bring the revolution to Tawnat.
Other Info: Owns a Lebel 1882 rifle he got during the Civil War and has two children.
