Bram de Vries, often colloquially known as de Vlam (Dutch: "the flame"), was a Snoopian statesman, author, and political leader who served as the fourth Dude of Snoopy, as well as the first Dude to have been born within city limits. A political moderate, de Vries served for an unprecedented five terms and became a central figure in world events during his administration. de Vries directed Snoopy's municipal government during most of the Tragedy on the Rô, implementing a series of executive acts that transformed the city's fiscal and domestic policies. His fourth and fifth terms were dominated by the Felentian War. de Vries is often rated by scholars as one of the two greatest Dudes of Snoopy, the other being Homer Simpson.
De Vries was born in the North Quarter neighborhood of Snoopy, which later came to be known as Vriesland in his honor. Graduating the University of Strathclyde with a master's degree in mathematics, he originally sought a job as a theoretical physicist. However, after his mother's personal savings were embezzled during the Lofquist scandal, de Vries began to pursue a political career, specifically seeking to combat Snoopy's high levels of corruption.
