Lore Dearborn

Lore Dearborn is a self-made entrepreneur of considerable worth, who first featured on the Forbes Under 30 list in 2044. She grew up on the Ashurst Estate outside London, alongside controversial figure Damien Oakland, the current Patron of the newly established Dominance IX. Ms. Dearborn studied at Oxford before completing her education overseas, and made her first mark on the business world while interning for luxurious brand Stella Moreau in New York. Her business Second Chances sold to Anastasia Vega of Jivana Industries for an undisclosed amount. In recent months she has been seen in the company of Jessika Thrice, former governor of Texas anticipated to become the first Privilege of IX.

Business Portfolio

Lore established Second Chances in New York, where its flagship branch remains to this day. The venture focuses on supporting the homeless and displaced: networking employment opportunities and training, assisting job application and interview preparation, and providing a physical address for mail and government necessities. It was purchased by Anastasia Vega in 2044, and the successful model is currently being rolled out in Spain.

Lore has heavily invested her capital as a result of the sale, and has significantly increased both her net worth and portfolio over the past year. Typically she looks for opportunities that enable her to share knowledge with those who will use it wisely, investments that ease environmental impact, and ventures that support free education. Notable acquisitions include the American business Cyberpoint, which she flipped for an obscene amount of profit to the Custody company Paragon Group, noted for their support of war veterans. She retains shares, and will benefit from future projects which use Cyberpoint’s IP.

About

Lore appreciates order and understanding the world around her. She greatly admires figures like Nikolai Brandon, who have affected such great change, and is a great supporter of the Custody, which she believes to be the first steps towards peace and utopia. She feels a pull towards those who shape the world around them, but her admiration is usually formed from a distance. She’s naturally introverted, but does not lack confidence; in fact she is usually direct and practical, and not someone afraid to speak her mind. But she is more comfortable away from the limelight, and she is certainly no great actress.

She’s not competitive in nature, but is certainly highly driven. Work is the main component of her life because she enjoys what she does. Tasks are completed quietly and efficiently, which sometimes leads to her being overlooked in favour of those more vocal about their talents. She is and has always been independent.

Talents

She possesses the ability to channel, should she ever learn.

She often dreams in vivid detail, and sometimes lucidly. Occasionally she records these snippets in a diary, but she has no notion that they mean anything specific. Rather, she does it because it is the closest she ever feels to spirituality. Sometimes it fills her with the sense that there is something missing inside her for which she deeply longs, an answer she has chased for most of her life. In the minutes when she wakes, before the dream fades as any other, she sometimes feels like that answer has just slipped through her fingers.

Relationships

• Damien Oakland: Lore grew up in the same household as Damien, and is six years his junior. She was only fourteen when the Oaklands returned to Maine, and had just started university when news of the Senator’s murder and Damien’s incarceration on San Quentin’s death row broke the headlines. She later sought him out in Mexico. Damien’s reasons for sending Lore to Jessika are unclear, as little is known about what transpired when they reconnected.
• Jessika Thrice: Lore has been in Jessika’s company since the final few months before her elevation to Privilege, and is among the retinue which will come to Moscow. In Jessika’s circles she’s primarily known as Damien’s sister, which she doesn’t correct despite the inaccuracy, or the way it marginalises her own accomplishments. She is loyal to Jessika, and unaware of any corruption beneath her meteoric rise.
• Matías Ángel Amengual: A channeler loyal to Damien, who Lore met while in Mexico City. He has been sent to Moscow as a delegate.
