Carolina Valez is an eight-generation Lasombra and childer of Tobias Smith that acted as the former Archbishop of Montreal. Her position had been recently revoked, considering that the Cardinal who appointed her to the position was actually a Setite Methuselah. Her pack is knwon as the Lost Angels.
Valez earned her reputation while acting as an undercover agent in the Californian Anarch Free State. Her casual relations with mortals and anarchs in Montreal is often seen as a personal weakness by her sabbat fellows, especially since she shuns unnecessary violence and the blatant display of her Cainite state. Even though some of the more vocal members of the Sabbat regard her as weak, Valez is a cunning and clever manipulator who often overemphasizes her "weakness" to distract those who mistrust her from her true motives.
Valez's best kept secret is her relationship with her mortal grandchild Josefina. During her circuit of California she ensured that Josefina would follow her trail and kept her close to remind her of her former beauty. Valez looks after her granddaughter and rescued her from the clutches of the Sabbat repeatedly. Josefina on her part feels like she is beingw atched by a "guardian angel," and she has become something like an amateur occultist to learn more about her protector. This notion makes it harder and harder for Valez to keep Josefina from drawing the Sabbat's attention. Valez is in a precarious situation, trying with all the means necessary to keep the city from being torn apart by the inner turmoil within local Cainite society.
