Background[]
Polly Zobelle was presumably born in Budapest, Hungary to Ethan Zobelle and her unnamed mother. Eventually, the family emigrated to the United States, settling in California, where Ethan became a church deacon. Zobelle opened a chain of cigar shops called Impeccable Smokes, which expanded into a chain with locations in Stockton, Alameda, and Millbrae.
Dismayed by criminal gangs bothering small businesses, Ethan formed the League of American Nationalists, which became a powerful white separatist business organization comprised of numerous businesspeople, clergymen, judges, and even senators. Polly would become an accomplice of LOAN and would occasionally help her father.
