Eva Silvestri

CLAN: Toreador NATURE: Survivor DEMEANOR: Deviant/Caregiver GENERATION: 7th CITY OF LEGAL RESIDENCE: Los Angeles APPARENT AGE: 31 ACTUAL AGE: 165

For Eva, her life began after her Embrace.

Before it, she thought she had it all: a wonderful husband; fertile, prosperous land; and respectability in the blossoming California society world. Not bad for un "fille de gens de couleur libre".

In an instant it was all gone and Eva survived by sheer determination and hope -- the hope that she would someday return to the life she had led. The hope faded away seven years later and became bitter and cold. Yet rescue did come, not from her family but in the form of Armand. Her called to her soul and removed all the anger and pain. Then he Embraced her. Teaching her all her new life had to offer, he also shared with her the challenge of discovering the rough, unpolished singer, dancer, artist and molding it into the next superstar.

Now Eva runs her own talent agency, Phoenix Unlimited. Unlike those in the industry who clamor to make a name for themselves, she follows the old school of Hollywood thought -- the client is paramount. They should be in the headlines not the agent. She has built a network so strong and so secure that many believe that E. Silvestri is a man. An illusion she fosters by hiring male assistants and drivers.

Eva supplemented her fortune by investing in Julian Luna's corporation. In fact, she owns a great deal of its stock. Unconcerned with the company; she just likes the money it provides her - for with money she can live comfortably in the relative shadows. What better place for a talent scout to be. Traveling city to city, club to club in search of the next Whitney Houston, Billy Dean or Van Halen.

Now circumstances force Eva to San Francisco. It's time for her to finally put old demons to rest...or stir up new ones.
