Overview
Jacaranda Rosenbaum-Josselewicz is a traveler in Scenebux whom Ben Etxina nicknames Robot. She is connected to Max Pacifica, J.P. Makanga, and Syndicate Deutschland, and she becomes Ben’s main companion after Max’s death.
Ben first describes Jacaranda as tall, thin, lanky, pale, big-eyed, and long-necked, with thick brown bangs, long legs, plain brown eyes, and a freckled torso.
Role
Ben finds Jacaranda asleep in his room at Max’s house on Little Saint Demeter. She says she met Max in Argentina and recognizes Ben through Lin Jiao. After Max dies, she helps Ben leave the island and takes him to Amsterdam.
In Amsterdam, Jacaranda hires an East German prostitute and includes Ben in the encounter. She then brings him toward J.P. Makanga and L-Base, the East Berlin base of Syndicate Deutschland.
Jacaranda helps Ben leave the syndicate van when the group heads toward an illegal attack, picks the lock at L-Base so they can collect their belongings, and helps Ben access Cryptographic User Makerspace. In New York, she has sex with Ben while he is ill with COVID in her apartment, then tells him that the sexual part of their relationship cannot continue.
Jacaranda later tells Ben that Max described Monarcha to her and that she may have passed that information to J.P. Makanga. This creates a possible path by which Syndicate Deutschland located and attacked the system. She warns Ben to leave Gabriel Findhom’s Dubai hotel room immediately.
