Background:
O’olish is, or at least claims, to be the last of the Sinnissippi Indian Tribe. Born in the years prior to the French and Indian War to a small and dying out tribe O’olish excelled in the arts of war drawing as much attention from the settlers he avoiding as from the enemies of his tribe that he was killing, earning the name “Le Grande Serpent” from the French. Smart, but stoic, O’olish rarely spoke in the early days, measuring out his words as all his tribe was bound to do.
Already advanced in age, 51, and having risen to the role of Chief by the time that the French and Indian war broke out amongst the tribes in 1753. O’olish spoke of peace and waiting out the “White man’s war”. His enemies thought differently as the war gave them the excuse they were looking for to destroy the Sinnissippi once and for all.
What happened when the attack came in 1763 no one but O’olish can tell for no one else left the field of battle alive, or at least none spoke of it again. But the scars that cross his body speak of the horrors that must have happened in his final moments.
Whatever the outcome of the battle, his embrace happened immediately afterwards and as in the manner of all Gangrel he was left to find his way among the bodies of his people for a year before he was reunitied with his sire. Karl Olafsson, the final member of the Norse Gangrel trained him in the ways of his kind before sinking into torpor. O’olish soon followed the path of his sire, but legend still speaks of “The Serpent” that struck at the heels of the white man in every major battle between Indians and Europeans.
What the truth of those stories is no one can tell for certain, but when next he was actively documented he was an avid follower and supporter of Xavier’s desion to leave the Camirillia. Lately he has been seen amongst the Sabbat serving as a Lore master of the Road of the Beast. Training predators for something that he is not speaking of.
