Rheya Apostolous
In Book 3, Chapter 6's premium scene, Rheya tells you that she loved Iola more than life itself, so much so that it was like a flame in her chest. Iola wasn't afraid of Rheya's new vampire nature. However, Rheya adamantly refused to Turn her, despite her daughter's desires. After an attack on her old village and home by the Sons of Ares, Rheya believed Iola died by being burned to death and that changed Rheya. In Chapter 14, you discover that Iola actually survived and the Sons of Ares took her. They wanted to see if they could learn about Rheya through her, but when they discovered they couldn't, they raised Iola into adulthood. She lived through her natural life and bore a daughter, thus starting the Bloodkeeper bloodline. In Chapter 16, you pull Rheya into past memories and reveal to her that it was Rheya herself who killed Iola in a bloodlust attack on a seaside town, but Rheya didn't know that at that time. It's unknown, if Iola remembered her mother Rheya or if Iola saw her mother's memories and it's also unknown, if Iola knew Rheya was her mother, since Iola hadn't seen her mother, since she a was a child, the last time she saw her mother.

Demetrius
Iola is Demetrius's daughter. They have a loving relationship, and they were always together and close to Rheya, until he was killed by the Sons of Ares.

Your Character
Due to her human nature and not being Turned by her mother, Iola became the very First Bloodkeeper. In essence, she had Rheya's human blood flowing through her veins and through that connection, she had access to Rheya's memories. Through her and then through her daughter and her daughter's future children, the bloodkeeper bloodline began and ended with your mother and you.
