	In [[496 BC]], a [[vain]], [[young]] [[thief]]] named [[Jacqueline Montarri]] came to Madame Eva's camp. Montarri demanded the [[secret]] to stay forever [[young]] and [[beautiful]]. Eva only surrendered an answer at [[knife]]-point; that answer was to find it in [[Castle Ravenloft]]. Satisfied, Montarri cut Eva's throat and left her to bleed out. Eva had her revenge when Montarri was caught and [[decapitated\|beheaded]]. The Vistani took her [[corpse]] and [[cursed]] it. They left Montarri resurrected with a [[cursed]] immortality and the wrinkled [[head]] of Madame Eva bound to her neck instead of her own. Minus her own head, Montarri has forever since needed to continually swap out new heads to keep her vibrant beauty.<ref name="RLMCI&II, VotM">[[VotM]] p. 285: “died four years ago.” [[RLMC I&II]] pp. 89-90: tells us how it happened.</ref>		In [[496 BC]], a [[vain]], [[young]] [[thief]]] named [[Jacqueline Montarri]] came to Madame Eva's camp.

	In the years leading up to [[the Grand Conjunction]] of [[740 BC]], Madame Eva called upon the [[Tribe of ~~Hykosa~~]] to slay the first dukkar, [[~~Hyksosa~~]] himself, in order to prevent that catastrophe.

-Raunie of the [[Zarovan]] [[Vistani]].
+Madame Eva is a preeminent [[Vistani]] [[NPC]] in the [[Ravenloft]] product line present since the the release of the [[I-6]] [[module]] that inspired the campaign setting. She appears in I-6 and every revision or reboot ([[House of Strahd]], [[Expedition to Castle Ravenloft]], and [[House of Strahd]]). Eva is mentioned in every version of the campaign setting ([[Realm of Terror]] "black boxed set", [[Ravenloft Campaign Setting]] "red boxed set", [[Domains of Dread]], [[Ravenloft Third Edition]], and the [[Ravenloft Player's Handbook]]). She also appears in two [[novel]]s ([[I Strahd: the War Against Azalin]] and [[Vampire of the Mists]] as well as one other game module ([[the Evil Eye]]). [[Ravenloft Gazetteer I]] presents a detailed biography of her.
-Often found in [[Barovia]].
+In the game world, Madame Eva is the [[legend]]ary [[raunie]] of the [[Zarovan Tribe]].<ref>[[Van Richten's Guide to the Vistani]] p. 58</ref> She was the first raunie in the [[Land of Mists]], for she brought her people for the first time at the stroke of midnight leading into the New Year of [[470 BC]]. There in Barovia, she [[Madame Eva and Strahd form an alliance|formed an alliance]] with [[Count Strahd]], linking the Vistani to the land and to Strahd ever since. Since that time, Eva has seldom taken direct action to alter the flow of history. Instead she serves the role of [[advisor]], [[seer]], and (to Strahd) [[informant]]. The major exception has been [[event]]s associated with the [[Dukkar]], the prophetic end to the Vistani people.<ref name="Gazetteer I">[[Gazetteer I]] p. 137</ref> [[The Evil Eye]] module provides such an example, where she is critical to the binding of [[Malocchio Aderre]], the second dukkar, to [[Invidia]].<ref>The "[[canon|official]]" results of the events played out in [[the Evil Eye]] are mentioned in [[Gazetteer IV]] (p. 147).</ref>
