History
Odette, and her twin brother, were born in another city. Her mother was an inventor, while her father was an academic… Or at least that was what he told most people. In actuality, he led a double life. On one side he was a loving family man and scholar, but on the other hand he was deep into the criminal underworld of his home town.

No one in the family knew… Except for Odette, whose outgoing nature made it far easier for her to come by the information, unlike her brother and mother who preferred to stay indoors in their workshop.

While her brother stayed indoors, Odette stayed out in the world, often going out along with her father. Although hesitant, the father eventually began to take his daughter along on his jobs. Both in the world of academia, and also in his more illicit dealings. He was mostly a smuggler, and white collar criminal, using his status and connections as a scholar to import certain substances for research purposes, or move around large sums of money.

When it became clear that her father had taught him as much as he could, she made a bold choice. She decided to start over in a new city, and see if she couldn’t start her own enterprise. There were many reasons for this, but the main one was that she didn’t want any of her activities to be linked back to her, and her family. And so, with a head full of dreams, and a heart full of determination, Odette left for Steamhaven.

Arriving in Steamhaven, Odette quickly realised that it wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be. Without a name, or connections, she was starting from scratch. There was no conceivable way for her to advance in any legitimate way, and so she joined with a band of upstarts, the Ashen Kings.

However, after a few months at work, Odette found Oswald. By sheer chance, he met her in a bar she frequented. The bartender explained that he’d tipped the boy off, simply because of how similar they looked. After explaining her choice to leave, and stay in Steamhaven, Oswald decided to stay with her.

And thus, the Mortimer twins were united once more.

Despite them being together again, it was only the beginning of their new life. Oswald had to be trained, taught about the new city. Fortunately for him, he wasn’t starting entirely from scratch. She put in a good word for him, and he was allowed to join the Ashen Kings. Despite the extra trouble it brings at times, Odette loves her brother, and is overjoyed to have him there.
