Welcome wonderful readers. Thanks for being here.
What do we really know about Mary Carmini? History tells us that she was one of the most vile humans ever. Her influence on the Knights of Tarsus has been well documented. Once she was out of the picture they ended their expansionist ways and they became contributors to society rather than destroyers.
She was born in Salus to one of the keeper families. The Keepers were the ruling class. They sequestered themselves early in their history and the common people rarely saw them. they ruled through the Salusian Bishops.
Her husband, known to history only as Mr. Carmini was killed in the Harvest Day Tsunami. The Keeper Compound was right on the coast just northwest from Salus. The entire settlement was wiped out. We know that she had children but we don’t know how many nor anything about them. The Keepers were a secretive bunch. They kept their records in their compound on paper and all that disappeared in the tsunami.
She went to Earth on the first diplomatic mission, the one that included my friend Dorian Thain. Dorian tells me that she wouldn’t even speak to him. She was rude and dismissive the entire time they were together on that mission.
When Dorian was abducted by the Friends and went public with the Harappan belief that the Green Bible was a fake, Mary Carmini was recruited by the Knights of Tarsus. Most historians refer to the Knights as terrorists but I prefer not to use that word since it has been used too often to tar a people for fighting for their rights.
