Maria was once a working girl, whoring on the streets of Port Royal. She has slowly climbed the ranks of the prostitution business with a combination of beauty, business sense and street smarts. Now madam of the best “den of relaxation” in the Caribbean (a term that she prefers over the less classy “whorehouse”), Maria has proven herself to be a ruthless business woman. Maria has a compassionate side, but only shows it occasionally to a select few; Christopher Raven among them. They’ve helped each other with various problems in the past, and though their relationship may appear to be strictly business, there is a sense of loyalty between Maria and Christopher that goes deeper than one of simple convenience, causing people to privately wonder if there is more to their relationship behind closed doors.
