Olivia Reed Brannon, according to her own telling, is of English and Middle Eastern descent.  Her manners are decidedly continental, and her education, to the casual observer, is Anglo-centric.

Olivia first joined the masquerade as a ghoul to Simon Brannon, a dispossessed Assamite who preferred isolation over the Mountain or the Ivory Tower.  Working together over the course of many years, Olivia proved herself capable and knowledgeable to the gentleman vizier, and he embraced her as his only childe.  They traveled Europe and the Middle East, keeping distant from Camarilla strongholds and Sabbat territory alike.  The few kindred they came into willing contact with were autarkis, independents, or the occasional eccentric and withdrawn Camarillist.  After her sire's death, Olivia changed directions politically and sought acknowledgment in the Camarilla from Prince Rinaldi of Ravenna.  She maintained a quiet and unremarkable presence in his domain, sometimes traveling to other countries in the pursuit of a scrap of lore or a treasured object.
 
  
In early 2010, Olivia settled in the United States to be near younger members of her clan.  She now is known to roam the Americas, but is rarely seen in Camarilla circles, preferring smaller gatherings of a familial nature. She maintains a business trading art, antiques, and manuscripts, sometimes serving as a search agent for those willing to pay or trade.

Known History

Kimberly as Olivia

"Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good."
- Psalm 25:7


Olivia Reed Brannon, according to her own telling, is of English and Middle Eastern descent. Her manners are decidedly continental, and her education, to the casual observer, is Anglo-centric.

Olivia first joined the masquerade as a ghoul to Simon Brannon, a dispossessed Assamite who preferred isolation over the Mountain or the Ivory Tower. Working together over the course of many years, Olivia proved herself capable and knowledgeable to the gentleman vizier, and he embraced her as his only childe. They traveled Europe and the Middle East, keeping distant from Camarilla strongholds and Sabbat territory alike. The few kindred they came into willing contact with were autarkis, independents, or the occasional eccentric and withdrawn Camarillist. After her sire's death, Olivia changed directions politically and sought acknowledgment in the Camarilla from Prince Rinaldi of Ravenna. She maintained a quiet and unremarkable presence in his domain, sometimes traveling to other countries in the pursuit of a scrap of lore or a treasured object.

In early 2010, Olivia settled in the United States to be near younger members of her clan. She was known to roam the Americas, but is was also seen in Camarilla circles, preferring smaller gatherings of a familial nature. She maintained a business trading art, antiques, and manuscripts, sometimes served as a search agent for those willing to pay or trade.

In December of 2016, she resurfaced in Macon, Georgia, claiming a years-long detour through the Holy Land. She immediately set to work assisting the domain, and was welcomed as a member of the city.
