There is a double history to Synneve Gundesdottir because she has led two separate lives. She was born in 766 C.E. as Synneve Gundesdottir, near the beginning of the Viking rise to power. She was Embraced on one of the first attacks of England in 784 C.E. (at age 18.) That was her real life and she had that until in 1306 C.E. when she was invited and initiated to the Manus Nigrum, the Black Hand.
When she became a member of the True Hand she developed a parallel life; using her own history she changed important details. Her name became Suneyva Loeste, more English than her real name, and her first Childe Idun became blood bound to her. Idun's belief is that she is Suneyva's Sire and that is what has been presented as fact for so long. Other details such as age, generation, and abilities have also been hidden away.
Her life, in both circles, has been very eventful. There has been much travel and several passing friendships. Those things are shown through story; some of which deal with the life in the Black Hand and some which deal with the false life she has adopted.
Her Childer, Julianna Margot and Jesse Rose do not know of her real life, nor do the Kindred and other such supernatural creatures of the city Gothik where she is the Gangrel Primogen. Her other Childe, Stina, was a Chatterling of the Hand, and died centruies before. Idun still believes it is she that is Sire in the relationship. Everything is a front...or is it?
There are certain things in her life that Suneyva represents as well as Synneve could; the environment and the children on the streets. She is a protector and guardian of the weak. On other issues she may compromise, but she will not allow those who need protection to be turned away without at least an attempt. Duty is her unlife; her duty as Qadi in the Hand, her protection of the weak and needy, her love for the Childer and the GrandChilder she has...she has a lot to do in Gothik.
But that will all be in the stories.
