Phil Vibert

Philip Bertrand Déodat Jean-François Vibert  (born 27 April 1965), best known as Phil Vibert, is a Magisterian politician, left-wing anti-conservative political commentator, and former professional wrestling promoter, creative writer, and colour commentator who is the 28th and current president of Magisteria. A former non-partisan politician, he served as the Chief of the State Council of the Philadelphia State from 2012 to 2020, making him the first ever non-partisan politician to become the Chief of the State Council.

Born and raised in the Annesia City, Federal Capital Territory, Vibert studied in Harvard University earning his Bachelor of Arts, and later in the University of Nueva Caceres. Before becoming a full-time politician, he was heavily involved in professional wrestling between 1987 and 2007, first being the main colour commentator of the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF), before leaving the company and buying Danger And Violence Extreme (DAVE) in 1997. When DAVE filed for bankruptcy in 2007, he disappeared from the public eye before reappearing in 2009 as a Liberal Party member but he later left the party in late-2009.

In 2011, he decided to run become a representative in the State Council of the Philadelphia State as a non-partisan politician. He was later elected as the first independent representative in the legislature, then he became the Chief of the State Council in November 2012.

Vibert and his running mates Catherine Fournier-Dixon and Athelsan Matthews defeated the Republican ticket of Willis Lennox, Marceau Porcher, and Jérôme Hawthorne, and the Communist ticket of Fabian Plamondon, Jepson Hope, and Bridger Dwerryhouse in the 2021 snap presidential election. Vibert is the first president to have a female vice president, and the first from the Philadelphia state. His early presidential activity centered around his major economic policy, the A Marvelous Future 2030 to speed up the economic growth of Magisteria. After 50 years with the government operating under the 1971 Federal Constitution, it was finally replaced with the 2021 Federal Constitution, the notable changes about the new constitution is the presidential term was shortened to four years, a syndicalist-democratic socialist statement, and keeping the neutrality law that constitutionally forbids the country from participating in wars, but has policy of maintaining the heavily armed Federal Defence Forces, and a close military alliance with a fellow neutral country, Switzerland.

Magisterian Wrestling Federation (1987-1990; 1992-1997)
In 1987, Vibert joined the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF) as a C-show announcer, debuting at the Mid Summer Madness event. His first stint with the MWF came to a temporary end in 1990, where Vibert left to finish his studies. Vibert would return to the company in 1992 after graduating. Packer, who was impressed by Vibert's idea, promoted Vibert to be a member of their creative team and later the executive producer but Vibert often clashed with Packer over the direction of the company, which led him to resign in 1997.

Danger And Violence Extreme (1997-2007)
After resigning from the MWF, Phil Vibert approached Buddy Gaines to buy DAVE which Gaines accepted. Vibert's takeover saw the beginning of the MWF-DAVE promotional war after MWF's most profitable female wrestler Heidi Hyde followed Vibert to DAVE.

Politics (2001-present)

Phil Vibert has been a vocal opponent of gun rights, LGBT rights opposition, ultraconservatism, ethnic nationalism, racial segregation, corporatism, state capitalism, cronyism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and fascism.
