Oliver Damus was a damn fine insurance agent. That's only a compliment in the insurance field. Otherwise, that's a gentle way of describing an underwhelming person.

For Oliver, underwhelming was second nature after growing up in his family's prophetic shadows, the Damus'.

With a lineage directly linked to Nostradamus, the Damus' family possessed similar powers of prophecy.

Oliver's father, Hiram Damus, served as the spiritual leader to Vanuatu's island after correctly predicting the eruption of the Volcano, Balthais.

His mother, Aurelia, was the leader of the oracles of Delphi.

If you're a part of a normal family, one that doesn't possess the ability to predict the future or hold sway with world governments, being a damn fine insurance agent would have been enough. But that wasn't the case for poor Oliver.
