Interrupting the affair between Amanda and
Mozart after seducing the composer out of his wits
A shadowy figure of unknown origins who made quite an appearance on the immortal scene when she caused a scandal in Vienna by uncovering the affair of Mozart with Amanda the international thief. Became a spy with an international background, proved her competence with a sword and was finally challenged by John Henry Archibald in Dallas where she was predicted she would meet her death by an old gypsy witch.
In 1727, Carmen sought to emulate Amanda by being a scandal in the court of Vienna, going so far as stealing one of her sexual conquests : the great Mozart himself.The irritated Amanda suggested to Carmen she finds herself a new game.
In 1897, she named herself Carmela La Morte in San Francisco, an adventuress who sought out gold-diggers to marry; she was confronted by Cybelle McWyrter who forcefully asked her to stop robbing her past selves - which is how we could connect Cybelle to Carmella.

It has been long suspected that Carmen Santiago was a past disciple of the elusive Kellistra who bore the name of Carmella LaMorte during the 17th century in Tuscany and that Carmen chose that name as a mean of honoring her teacher’s memory. It is an encounter between Ursula Katz in 1910 and Carmen that gave us a clue on her origins as the shady Buxente of Soule who first became immortal in the 10th century and amrried the Duke of Gascony in 1023, becoming a political she-devil as well as a skilled player of the Game, wearing a black hood to hide her feminity. In 1152 she was the best friend and confidente of Eleanor of Aquitaine who married Henry II of England, thus securing the joining of the region of Soule (part of Aquitaine) with the Crown of England, political scheme that came to the ears of Richeard of Mercia, not yet founder of the British SIS. Carmen and Richeard had a heated romance and created more than one scandal in the court of England.
By the 16th century, Soule became ensnared in the political, religious and military manoeuvres derived from its shaky position, with the French Wars of Religion affecting the province tremendously. Carmen went in conflict agaisnt the Knights fo Charlemagne and this is where the Watchers lost her trace until her re-apparance as lover of musical composer Mozart, rivaling with Amanda for the favors of the musician. Amandaand Carmen must have found funny to compete for the love of a mortal whose music was made of such beauty and greatness it touched their souls more deeply than anything they could have experienced I ncenturies of Immortality. After Mozart’s untimely death, they attended his funeral and parted company, not quite friends, but not ennemies either.
