Of all the rising powers on a newborn world, Carla is perhaps the most feared. From her brutal childhood as a desperate, hunted refugee, to her rise as the hard-nosed COO of a multinational corporation on earth, to her overthrow and banishment, to her second rise as criminal queenpin, Carla has proven again and again that she is not to be trifled with, or even mentioned in public. The few in her inner circle swear she has a softer side as well, but that is cold comfort to anyone who winds up sitting in her office staring across the massive edifice of her vintage BiG iNC desk.
