Now deceased, Isabel de Maconda was the wife of the resistance leader Martin José Maconda. Her kind but confident and well-educated demeanor served to temper her husband's cruel and impulsive streak. However, Isabel was eventually captured and imprisoned by Martin's enemy and royalist officer Don_Santiago_de_Quijada_Y_Alvarez. Santiago held her captive because he hoped she might give him information vital to defeating Martin, but mostly (even if Santiago would never admit it) because he had become infatuated with her. Santiago made many attempts to break her, but Isabel always remained firm in defiance. Santiago eventually discovered Isabel was pregnant but denied her a midwife when it came time to give birth, and she died in labor along with the child. The grief Santiago felt over her death and the rising tide of the rebel movement eventually caused Santiago to die of disease.

As for Isabel's husband, Martin became all the more cruel in the face of her capture and demise. Yet he is horrified by the thoughts of what Isabel might think of his brutality and lycanthropic transformation following his foul deal with the Warlock of the Peak.[1]
