Mary Carmini and the Tarsans
Mary Carmini has been portrayed as a villain in most historical accounts of her time in the galaxy. Not much is known of her life before she became involved in the first diplomatic mission from Harappa to Earth.
What is known is that she came from Salus. It is not known if she was born there or in one of their satellite villages. She was one of the Keepers or wealthy elite.
The Keepers ruled Salus from the background much like the LC on Earth did. They lived in a compound near the coast, west of the city. Of course the compound was destroyed in the Harvest Day Tsunami.
Historians believe her husband was one of the more influential Keepers. It is suspected that he was responsible for Mary being on the diplomatic mission.
The other Salusian on that mission to Earth was known only as Rand. He seems to have been sent as a body guard for Mrs. Carmini and nothing more. He returned to Harappa on the first return and was not heard from again. It is assumed he died in the Harvest Day Tsunami but that is not confirmed.
Tomorrow we discuss the Keepers influence on Harappa
