Early Life and Archery
Olivier is the first born son of Bennet and Ava de Volthstrom and the brother to a younger sister named Elin. Born into wealth and privilege in a traditional family, Olivier was born knowing his duty would be to inherit and eventually produce an heir to continue the family lineage.
As a child, Olivier was drawn to computers. He spent a significant amount of time learning how how they work. His parents had little problem with this, but that changed as he was spending most of his time indoors. They encouraged him to pick up some athletic activity to keep him outside and to socialize.
Olivier enjoyed watching sports games, but wasn’t much into playing them. That changed the first time he picked up a bow at nine years old. It felt strangely comfortable in his hands. He asked his parents if it was okay for him to pick up archery. It seemed suitably noble to them, so they agreed. Lessons were paid for and he began to learn archery.
Even at a young age, the bow seemed to be a natural extension to Olivier. He learned quickly and his mentor was astounded at how fast he began to pick up the skills. By age 16, Olivier was in competitive tournaments, and by age 17, he was competing at an international level and attracting the attention of sponsors.
He is now a fixture on the international archery circuit, competing in precision tournaments and corporate sponsored exhibitions. He has also competed in rooftop and urban exhibition tournaments that were more for spectacle than anything else. On the range, he is elegant and relentlessly calm. His equipment is top of the line. His philosophy in archery is that once the arrow leaves the string there are no do-overs. It’s a philosophy he carries into the rest of his life.
Familial Tensions
As he grew into adolescence, he was reminded of his duty to marry. His parents began to set up dates with women for him to consider. It wasn’t long before Olivier realized he wasn’t interested in any of them. It quickly became apparent to him that his attraction was to males, and he unashamedly brought it up to his parents.
Bennett and Ava had little issue with this, but told him it did not change his duty to the family. Olivier flat out disagreed. It has caused a significant amount of tension in the family. The argument is usually the same. They would remind him of his duty; he would tell them he wasn’t going to live in a sham marriage to produce a child whose parents didn’t care for each other. Olivier wasn’t being completely selfish in his reasoning either. He brought up other options such as surrogacy. He often brought up Elin, who was more qualified than he was to run operations than he was and wanted to do it. Bennett and Ava were unyielding.
T2AC32
Along with archery, Olivier continued to work with computers. He learned how to hack and established a presence online (including the Dark Web) under the hacker alias T2AC32 (Tracer). Tracer is a known entity, and his beginnings were helping those who wanted to learn to hack. As he aged, Tracer grew into something new as well. As a Volthström, he grew up learning that wealth equals competence, stability excuses harm, and responsibility ends at the balance sheet.
Olivier disagreed.
He knows his family has profited off of the suffering of others, and it is something that he cannot abide. He hides this from his family and the tension between him and his parents helps this. With this knowledge, Tracer became something else. He began to use his identity to redistribute wealth from the wealthy to those hurt by the wealthy. Archery gave him discipline. Technology gave him reach. Wealth gave him access. He weaponized all three.
Olivier is methodical in his approach. He hits primarily shell corporations, hedge funds, and “charitible” fronts used to hide exploitation. He redirects fractional sums - small enough to go unnoticed, but large enough to change outcomes - to those organizations that actually help such as those that take care of orphans, tenet defense networks, community land trusts, and legal aid for people erased by bureaucracies. Every action is planned in advance. Every escape route is mapped. There are no flourish or signature crime scenes. When the books are checked, it’s usually thought to be an anomaly or clerical error. It isn’t revolution he seeks, but correction. Unchecked systems implode. He views his redistribution efforts as pressure management, as well as righting wrongs. It is preventative maintenance.
Currently:
Olivier is currently in Moscow for a tournament to be held shortly into the new year. He no longer lives with his parents, but tensions are still high. Family gatherings are often used to remind him of what he should be doing. Tracer continues his work as a wealth redistributor. Moscow, the center of civilization, seems to be a place where both Olivier the archer and Tracer the hacker can prosper and do the most good. What he has done as Tracer has been very helpful, but he is looking for more - something to really facilitate change. It means Tracer may need to quit being so quiet.
