Personality:
A pampered and arrogant villainous temple robber (huaquera) with a huge ass who seeks out valuable artifacts from indigenous natives to sell them on the black market, Clara has made herself a sizable fortune to further her nefarious endeavors. Well-spoken and proficient at forgery, she’s essentially made an alter ego (Carla Luft) to pin the blame of her escapades on, allowing her access to protected sites with a small militia at her beck and call as muscle.
Managing to get a hold of Lilith's portal technology (Lilith denies all accusations that she provided such technology or that she even has such technology to provide) with the intent on procuring an artefact from an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon jungle, that's supposedly a 'Garden of Eden'. Unfortunately for her, she runs afoul of the tribe's protector, known to the locals as 'La Amazona' or 'The Amazoness' (aka Jungle Queen), who dispatches her militia with ease. In a last ditch effort to save herself, she opened an emergency portal, transporting Jungle Queen to Prospero City.
Powers Origin:
While Clara does not possess any actual powers, she is able to leverage her wealth and connections to her advantage. While she has limited knowledge about ACTUAL archeology, it’s usually enough to mislead foreign governments into believing her endeavors are legitimate. This is supplemented by her proficient forgery skills.
