The Contessa

A prominent hypnotist and prison warden working for Interpol, the Contessa first appeared at Rajan's ball in India.
She then captured Sly, Murray, and Carmelita at Rajan's temple, following Neyla's betrayal.
Bentley pursues them to the Contessa's clinic in Prague, where he learns of her secret membership in the Klaww Gang.

The Contessa's plot: using hypnotism to cure criminals of their unlawful conditions, while in reality forcing them to reveal the locations of their loot and clearing the field of competition.
However, Bentley freed Sly from her prison, and the two conspired to free Murray.
Despite their best efforts, the Contessa escaped.
Not willing to back down, the gang pursued her to her castle estate, where she was hiding with the Clockwerk Eyes.

Sly's infiltration revealed even more shocking news: Carmelita, trapped in the Contessa's reeducation tower, was in danger of being hypnotized into taking the fall for the Contessa at Interpol.
After a few tricky missions, the gang freed Carmelita, who chased the Contessa out of the tower.
She showed up shortly after, however, to battle Sly.

Despite his defeat of her, she grabbed the Clockwerk Eye he had obtained.
She then used it in a rematch against him, but was again defeated.

According to the epilogue of Sly 2, the Contessa later reformed and became a highly successful real-estate broker.
