Timeline

• Birth year 1653
• Her family fled Iceland following a massive eruption in 1683.
• Ghuled by a Danish Ventrue in 1681. She takes the name Julia Haraldsdóttir, from a child killed in the 1683 eruption.
• Embraced in 1688
• Left Accounting in 1702
• Oversaw a Danish shipping company in Canada in 1702. During this time she learned Cree and developed a relationship with the tribe.
• Briefly, during the winter of 1783, she returned to Iceland to observe massive destruction from the worst volcanic eruption the island had seen. She gives transportation to many survivors, taking them to Denmark or Canada. While she is there, she hears rumors of an immortal witch who caused the eruption. She then returns to Canada.
• In 1812, her sire recalls her to Europe. She is highly regarded and does well in social circles. Her elders marvel at her humanity. Her sire (open), tells her that he has tracked down the name of the Cainite responsible for the eruptions in Iceland.
• In 1816, Julia hunts down the kindred sorcerer, and eats her heart (diablerie). However, now she has committed the greatest crime. She flees to Canada, back to the Cree. They will not welcome her, saying that her soul has blackened.
• In her guilt and despair, she embraces in 1816 in Cree lands. The man ends his own life, greeting the sun while Julia slept.
• Her diablerie of the Icelandic kindred is sanctioned by the Justicar, but at what cost?
• In 1819 she returned to Iceland, and lived many years growing the lands and her holdings.
• Torpor from 1824 to 1839.
• In 1843, she became an advocate for the freedom of Iceland from Denmark’s rule.
• In 1845, her Danish sire requested that she work for continued Denmark control.
• In 1872, weary of her sire’s boon held over her, she arranged a strike that would endanger her sire. She disclosed the location of her sire to a Sabbat pack, then arranged for mortal influence to save his life. The plot goes horribly wrong, and the Sabbat were well prepared for Julia’s influences. Her sire vanished with the attack; she presumed he is dead.
• In 1874, a thousand years after the first acknowledged settlement, Denmark granted Iceland a constitution and home rule.
• Julia received a letter months before the constitution was finalized, from another elder Ventrue. This time the directive was to “expand our clan’s interests in the American West.” Though reluctant, Julia was a servant to the clan, and headed West, taking much of her fortune with her.
• In 1936, she found Denver, and settled in the western side. It reminded her of Iceland.

Quotes

• "Prince Haraldsdottir is the embodiment of what an Elder Ventrue Prince is supposed to be; elegant, commanding, and powerful. She is the leader the Camarilla in Denver has sorely needed. I look forward to seeing where she guides the Ivory Tower, forever may it stand." - Czsare Dragos
• "She is cruel, cold, and calculating. Few Princes stir a terror in me more than her." - Calico
