Evelyn Hartley [DEAD]

 Evelyn Hartley was born in 1880 in the United Kingdom to Clara and Geoffrey Hartley, a couple of modest means who nonetheless fostered her love for learning. Her uncle, Charles Hartley, was a British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, known for his diplomatic savvy.

Evelyn's knack for detailed note-taking and beautiful handwriting caught her uncle's eye, and he offered her a position to assist him. Eager for the chance to escape her family's financial struggles, Evelyn jumped at the opportunity.

While working with her uncle, Evelyn gained access to a trove of diplomatic documents and ancient texts, sparking her interest in Egypt's deep historical roots. She was especially fascinated by Hypatia, the renowned philosopher of Alexandria, whose intellect and tragic story captivated her. This led Evelyn to explore the remnants of the Library of Alexandria, seeking echoes of Hypatia’s world in the ancient texts.

It was here, amid her search for a mysterious tome rumored to contain arcane knowledge, that Evelyn's life took a dramatic turn. Her dedication to uncovering ancient secrets attracted the attention of an ancient Setite vampire, who had been secretly guarding the tome. Impressed by her potential, the vampire chose her as his childe, thrusting her into a new existence.

Her sire, Ibraham Al-Rasheed, raised her in the ways of the Clan and its Church, until she was eventually ordained as a Setite Priestess. So passed a good few decades, until, the demands of the Church of Set grew too heavy, and Evelyn defected to the Sabbat. She still keeps her posh British outlook, following the Path of Honourable Accord (she received her creation rites in Romania, and has a tie with Jacob, the older mentee of Medved the White) but she is sick and tired of the oppression of the Blood Gods. Evelyn earned her embrace, by being smart. She will not have immortality taken away, just because she is not properly sucking up to an Elder that hasn't earned her loyalty.
