Steban, the Student Communist is a character in Disco Elysium.
Background[ | ]
Steban, pseudonym: Nasteb Encalada-Bernal,[1] is a student of Cultural Studies at the École Normale de Revachol.[2] He and Ulixes are the most devoted members of the infra-materialist reading group in Martinaise,[3] though their intensity and rigor have driven the other members away.[4] The two also wrote an article about the TipTop Tournée from a Critical Mazovian perspective for La Fumée magazine.[5][6]
His Saramirizian Lounge Jacket, found in his apartment, was gifted to him by his grandmother.[7]
Ideology[ | ]
As with Ulixes, Steban considers himself an infra-materialist.[8]
