Character Biography[]
King of Fear[]
In the course of Elizabeth Sherman's apocalyptic visions of the future and destruction of the B.P.R.D, Liz saw Carla's body among the ruins of the Bureau's armed forces—a potentially prophetic view of Carla's continuing contributions to the Bureau and, possibly, her doom.

Phoning Kate in New World
Carla first appearance was investigating reports of a doomsday cult in Bellingham along side Abe Sapien, only to discover it was a hoax started by local college students. Upon arrival Abe had abandoned the other agents to follow his own leads involving the wendigo and Ben Daimio without informing anyone else.
Seattle[]
On her way home after Seattle
As events escalated in the wake of King of Fear, Carla later represented the B.P.R.D when the city of Seattle was attacked by a giant monster, working alongside local authorities and the army to destroy the creature before it could level the entire city.
In the wake of their victory, a local police officer asks if she thinks humanity can win in their struggle. Giarocco responds that she does not know, but that her three year old son is one of the things that keeps her fighting.
The Long Death[]
Facing down the jaguar demon in The Long Death
Not long after Seattle, Carla was once again back in the field along side Johann Kraus and a dozen other agents to investigate a series of disappearances in British Columbia; the same area where Abe had located and defeated an Ogrdu Hem earlier in the year. With Abe wounded in action, Johann elected to lead the operation. However, his true reasons were to enact revenge against the possessed Daimio who was hiding in the area and whom Abe had met in secret. Upon arrival, like Abe before, Johann abandoned the team to hunt on his own. That night Daimio, now under the control of the Jaguar demon, attacked and decimated the team. Carla was successful in driving the creature off with a grenade at point blank range but suffered serious injuries in the process.
