Clenna Dolan

## Information

**Clenna** **Dolan** is a petty thief and lockpicker who spent most of her days scheming for riches with her brother Tom Dolan and her love interest Michael Smyth. After a plan had ended with disasterous results, Clenna would find herself in hot water that would test her relations with Michael and as well provide her with opportunity to make it in North America.

Clenna had spent her days living day to day by petty thievery with her significant other Michael Smyth in the streets of London, where they would so often target lesser merchants peddling goods of insignificant value. But after one day when the gang had attempted to rob a food merchant, resulting Tom grabbing the rubbish sack instead, she and Tom would relucantly agree to a grand plan concocted by Michael to steel a keg of gunpowder from a Hudson Bay Company (HBC) flagged ship. The operation becomes a disaster, which not only gets Tom killed, but Michael stowed away in the ship in an attempt to evade the authorities and Clenna herself being arrested and put into prison with other men.

Since her arrest, Michael had made it a mission to free Clenna by any means necessary, even if it meant working for Lord Archibald Benton, who would offer Clenna's freedom as a price paid. After Michael had procured report that impressed Benton, Clenna was freed and brought to Fort James as a guest of Lord Benton, which she would be pampered and cared for by the latter who would guise himself as a kind and warm host. The act would certainly have an effect on Clenna, as she would become disillusioned with Michael's intentions upon their reunion. Nonetheless, Clenna would still help Michael free Declan Harp from captivity from Benton, but would later explain to Michael that she no longer wished to participate any longer in his schemes as she still remembered Tom's death. Clenna and Michael would then end their relationship and would go their separate ways.

After her misfortunes in Fort James, Clenna would find herself in Montreal working for *Carruthers and Co.*, recently seized by Elizabeth Carruthers, where the latter would take great interest in Clenna, especially after word had been received that Marquis de Beaumont had arrived to the city to invest in some businesses. Soon after, Clenna would be outfitted in finery and would deliver a severed head of an associate to Samuel Grant, while attempting to wow the Marquis in doing business with Carruthers, but not without angering Grant and his bodyguard Cobbs Pond, who would torture Clenna by breaking her leg again. Despite her actions, Grant and Pond still see use in Clenna and decided to use her in a similar manner to woo the Marquis as Carruthers had, by guising her as a personal representative of Samuel Grant. Although her relations with Grant has been nothing more but of a "ward", Clenna still remained faithful to serving Grant's interests and would even help him in certain endeavours, especially ridding of Elizabeth Carruthers after her murder and meeting Michael Smyth with Cobbs in lieu of *Carruthers and Co*.

A turning point in Clenna's career would be when she would be used to meet Douglas Brown after the death of his wife, in an effort to help Grant win a partnership with *Carruthers and Co.* Although she had initially volunteered to change Douglas' mind for Grant and Pond, her feelings for the Brown brother would become more intimate, to which the two would copulate in Grant's own home during his and Pond's absence. However, the relations would sour after Clenna revealed that she was involved in ridding of Elizabeth's body after her murder, only to anger Douglas; Clenna offered to make amends by vowing to testify against Grant for the murder, only for the latter to overhear the plan to which Douglas would step in to defend Clenna. After savagely beating Douglas, Clenna would bludgeon Grant with the same statue used to murder Elizabeth, only for her to rush to Douglas to attempt to helplessly revive him.
