Carina

"I present to you, Taneleer Tivan, the Collector"

- Carina to Sif and Volstagg

Carina was a slave of the Collector, acting as his aide and servant.

Biography
Carina was the aid and servant of the Collector, a position she abhorred due to her master's negative treatment towards her and her predecessors. She presented the Asgardians Sif and Volstagg to her master at his museum when they brought him the Aether.

Carina defended her master when the Asgardians questioned his methodology, which involved the imprisonment of living creatures. After the Asgardians left, Carina and Tivan discussed plans to collect the other Infinity Stones, starting with the Orb. Tivan suggested hiring Gamora, an idea that Carina was unsure of giving Gamora's connection to Thanos.

When the Guardians arrived at Knowhere, Gamora ordered an appointment with the Collector through Carina, who shortly called in the group after Rocket and Drax had broken into a drunken brawl. Carina stood by as the Collector explained the Orb, elaborating on its power as an Infinity Gem. Upon hearing about the immense power of the gem, Carina sought to be freed from her cruel employment, grabbing the orb's core in an attempt to kill the Collector. The stone was so powerful that it made Carina's body disintegrate in a purple explosion, which only injured Tivan.
