Early Life

Diana was born in the South Lockham "Barrens" under the name Belinda O'Brien. Her father, Hector O'Brien, was a meat packer and industrial butcher for Hearty Sons LTD. Her mother, Rosaleen O'Brien, was a cleaner. Diana had one sibling, Lucas O'Brien, who died at a young age in an accident.

South Lockham Fire

Diana's mother and father died in the infamous South Lockham fire that consumed the Jubilant Tenement block. Over a dozen people perished in the same fire. She changed her name to Diana Graves shortly thereafter in order to distance herself from her past. She gained a substantial settlement from her father's life insurance that she used to fund her university degree and to later found Condor Acquisitions.

Education

[WIP] Diana was a serial underachiever in grade school. [Need name of elementary school & Blackmouth uni] Following the South Lockham fire, she changed her name and pursued a university degree. She majored in Business Studies, but took an elective minor in Classical History. She performed well at university, and passed with distinction.

Career

Diana formed Condor Acquisitions in 2017 with help from an angel investor following her victory in the "Best Upcoming Venture" category at the 2017 Blackmouth Better Business Convention.

Condor Acquisitions was contracted by Blackmouth Developments LLC to oversee the renovation of Willowgate Arcade following decades of gridlock with local business owners.

Willowgate Arcade Renovation

Condor Acquisitions received the contract to renovate the Willowgate Arcade in 2018 from Blackmouth Developments LLC. This is potentially the most lucrative contract the company has received to date - if successfully completed. Currently many of the local mall stores - who acquired legal ownership of their blocks - are refusing a buyout. Negotiations are currently ongoing, and are said to be strained.
