Piecing together what we can from the available sources, it seems that the clan Otiolo was a young, fairly minor tribe. Marlowe’s text says the Prince Aranata took its people “out of Utaiharo.” This suggests that [Prince Aranata](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/utsebimn-aranata-otiolo) defeated another prince in combat and took his tribe for his own, making him the first chieftain of the Itani Otiolo, as any Cielcin who kills an Aeta becomes an Aeta. Such short-lived clans appear to have been common among the Cielcin, their being a species of tyrants (which explains the necessity of the Baetan class, who appear to maintain the continuity of the tribe as it changes hands and identities as it moves from Aeta to Aeta.
Tor Paulos, Howling Dark
“Aranata Otiolo called itself the Lord of the [Seventeenth Branching](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/zahaka).” ... “Betrayer!” it shouted. “Deceiver! Otiolo brought corrosion upon the blood-clans! It slew Utaiharo. It was vayadan and should have known its place!” ... “The line of Utaiharo stretched back to before the time of Araxaika the Almost-Blessed,” ... “It was an old line, only seventeen times broken by violence since the days of [Elu](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/elu). Otiolo should have shown respect.” “I don’t understand,” I said. ... “You are a student of your own history, are you not? Know you not that when dynasties fall, they fracture? Great empires becoming little kingdoms in the rubble, ruled by those lieutenants and heirs who survive the chaos? That chaos is uatanyr, is a branching.” Kingdoms of Death, Chapter 35: The Broken Circle
