Personality

History
- Daughter Reva Ewing
- Since Reva was twelve, Caro raised her alone since her husband preferred other women to Caro.[7]
- Before Reva married Blair Bissel, Caro ran a level three search/investigations on him.[8]
- Caro said that after her husband left them, Caro was devastated, her heart broken and energies scattered. He left them with debts so Caro took a secretarial position, entry level, and did drone work at an advertising agency in the city. About twelve years ago, Roarke took over the company where she worked and, during a meeting, her temper, knowledge, resourcefulness, and usefulness caught his eye. When he asked if she would be interested in becoming his personal assistant, she accepted.[9]
