this is totally just for me to get my thoughts in order and isn't ready to be presented yet so THIS IS GONNA BE MESSY bear with me until I organize it
Due to Darker than Black's storytelling style of two episode long story arcs, Havoc, like many of the cast of the series, only appears in two episodes. We are given certain facts about her past as a Contractor and a few about her current situation, but nothing beyond that is implicitly stated in canon. So I'll start with dividing out what is implicit and what is implied in canon.
☄ EXPLICIT;
☆ Carmine was born in Moldova to a strict Orthodox Christian family and was named Irena
☆ She became a Contractor in her early teens
☆ Her Messier Code is FN-067
☆ Her first obeisance payments were paid using her youngest brother, but she had to leave the home when this was discovered
☆ Faced with hospitalization or exorcism, she left her family for life on the streets until falling in with organized crime, working as an enforcer for a group that primarily trafficked women and drugs
☆ Accepted an offer from a larger trafficking ring and began making frequent trips between Eastern Europe and America, where she was commonly known by the monikers "Zmeoaică" or "Sister"
☆ Confronted by some of America's strongest Contractors during work in New York and offered a position with the CIA, which she accepted
☆ During her time at the CIA she was given rein to explore the limits of her powers and advised by experts on how best to utilize them more wide-spread and destructively
☆ Received her most well-known code name "Havoc" and was involved in numerous assassinations, raids, and extra-judicial killings abroad, most often in South America as the Heaven's Gate War escalated
☆ Took money from MI6 operatives on the side to take down several high level politicians, civilian casualties and damages were high
☆ Approached in San Paolo by the Syndicate to serve in a four member unit, which she accepted
☆ Entered the more jungle-based guerrilla warfare as a Syndicate operative in earnest in her late teens
☆ When Amber took her to Eastern Europe she actually left her near her hometown, but without memories Havoc wandered in the wrong direction and ended up in Romania
☆ Laura found her stealing food from her barn and took Havoc in, and she stayed with Laura's family close to three years
☆ Gossip about the red-haired woman with no memory at Laura's place eventually made its way to someone who used to work with Havoc under the name "Sister", who reported the rumor to a higher-up, who then sold it to the CIA
☆ Once she started feeling as if people were watching her, Havoc began to get paranoid, and left Laura's in the middle of the night leaving only a note
☆ She wound up in Bucharest, but couldn't find much work without any papers or passport, and so eventually turned to prostitution to feed herself
☆ One of her johns recognized her and reported her to his lieutenant, who took possession of Havoc before selling her to MI6

☄ EXPLICIT;
☆ Her code name with the Syndicate was Carmine☄ IMPLIED;
☆ Havoc was one of the most feared Contractors in the world
☆ She's estimated to be responsible for anywhere between hundreds to thousands of deaths
☆ Her obeisance is drinking blood and she gained an even more intimidating reputation because she drained it from children
☆ Her powers have something to do with vacuums and she was capable of collapsing whole structures
☆ In the Heaven's Gate War she fought for the Syndicate in a four person team that included Hei, Amber, and Bai
☆ When Heaven's Gate "disappeared" five years ago Havoc became a Regressor and woke up in Eastern Europe with no powers and no memories
☆ During her time as a Regressor she spent some time in a rural village with a woman named Laura, her two children, and Laura's mother
☆ Her identity was discovered by a local criminal and she was sold to MI6
☆ Like many Contractors, Havoc's memory of her original life and past are hazy because of repeated trips through the Memory Extractor many governments/organizations run their agents through☄ HEADCANON;
☆ Bai was responsible for taking Havoc's powers and memories and Amber deposited her in Eastern Europe when they sealed Heaven's Gate
☆ Havoc prostituted herself to get by in Romania
☆ She did work for MI6 and the CIA in the past that was damning enough that they'd kill her rather than have it potentially revealed
☆ Unlike Contractors who work as full-time agents under intelligence groups, Havoc worked primarily as a freelancer.
☆ She's potentially able to hang on to some of her emotions after regaining her Contractor state, as it was proven by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan that her star became active again before she died, yet she didn't use her powers to defend herself or prevent her death
☆ She remembered something about Hei's sister that she tried to tell Hei but was unable to before dying
☆ Carmine was born in Moldova to a strict Orthodox Christian family and was named Irena
