Estela
Estela is Olivia's daughter. They were very close. Estela was originally hellbent on murdering Rourke (and later Lila) to avenge her death, but came to terms with the fact that her mother didn't want that life for her.

Everett Rourke
Olivia originally enjoyed working for Rourke and believed that he would benefit the world. She later discovered his crimes and attempted to expose him to the world. In Book 3, Chapter 11, he is revealed to be Estela's father, meaning they had an affair. It is implied, however, that Olivia did not fully love him.

Lila
Lila was a good friend of Olivia but her loyalties were to Rourke. She reluctantly killed Olivia on his orders. Lila felt remorseful was killing Olivia, referring her as her best friend, which further increased upon finally realizing Rourke's villainy.

Nicolas
Nicolas was Olivia's brother. They arranged for Estela to be cared for by Nicolas while Olivia was working on La Huerta, an arrangement which continued following Olivia's death. While she permitted him training her daughter as a fighter, hunter, and assassin, Olivia made Nicolas promise he wouldn't bring her into the warfare in San Trobida as stated by Estela in Book 3, Chapter 10.
