An orphan girl codenamed Black Sheep was found on the side of a road in Buenos Aires, Argentina roughly 20 years agone and is raised and trained to get a main thief past a group of villains who double every bit the faculty at V.I.50.E. University, a school for thieves and secret criminal underworld organization, located on the Island of V.I.L.E. in the Canary Islands.

V.I.Fifty.East. sets upwards base in Scotland, sending new agents after Carmen who were specifically trained to capture her.

In flavour iv, afterward several failed attempts to merits gold, including the lost subconscious treasures stolen by the past generations of the organization, Five.I.50.Due east. has been pushed to its limits and they start using robot operatives. They eventually capture and brainwash Carmen, who then quickly rebuilds their funds and gains the Faculty'southward favor. However, Graham helps A.C.G.Eastward. bring the existent Carmen back while selling out V.I.L.Due east. in the process. Carmen finally tracks downwards and meets her mother. Shadowsan retires, while Zack and Ivy join A.C.Grand.Due east. in crime-fighting. After the downfall of V.I.L.E., A.C.M.E. chases down its leftover members, with the occasional help from Carmen.

Ivy, the older of the two, often runs interference for Carmen, either through disguises or her engineering science skills; she too is much more well-read than Zack, who habitually makes mistakes about their discoveries and is less experienced with going undercover (almost giving himself abroad when tricking the Countess), hence why he more oft serves as Carmen's wheelman/getaway driver.

A.C.M.E. [edit]

A.C.G.E. (short for Agency to Classify & Monitor Evildoers) is the cloak-and-dagger law enforcement agency that often combats Five.I.50.E. and the anti-heroes of the series.

Past the cease of flavor 2, it is revealed that her name is Tamara Fraser and that she was the one who killed Carmen's father, Dexter Wolfe, the night she was taken in by Shadowsan; it'south possible that due to her fault in judgment that caused Wolfe's death, The Primary does not tolerate incompetence and issues agents with capture only gear, despite her ain assumptions nigh and eventually mistaken obsession with Carmen. The Chief has besides been obsessed in her pursuit of finding evidence on 5.I.L.E.'due south existence ever since killing Wolfe, for every bit yet unknown motivations.

In season 2, after waking upwards from his coma, he provides a lead but is dismissed and returned to Interpol with a desk job, merely to be fired for going off the grid in pursuit of Carmen and finds the Isle of V.I.L.Due east. only subsequently information technology was destroyed. By the season two finale, A.C.K.Eastward. rehires him after Carmen steals from their databanks. At the cease of Season 3, Hunt realized Julia was correct nigh Carmen; he decides to assistance her end 5.I.L.E. subtly.
  • Julia Silvery (voiced by Charlet Chung) – An Interpol amanuensis turned A.C.M.East. recruit, Chase'south partner and contrary: she usually does the logistics and fact-finding that Hunt would otherwise overlook or condone; is more than highly intelligent, competent and perceptive; and is the most open up to believing Carmen is instead stealing from other thieves (which is even given the choice of exploitation in the interactive special To Steal or Not to Steal). She is inspired by the A.C.1000.Eastward. detective of the same proper noun from Where in the Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? Treasures of Knowledge. In flavor ii, Julia actively tries to recruit Carmen as an A.C.M.E. agent despite being undermined past the Main's focus to outright arrest Carmen to gain intel on V.I.L.E. She, along with Chase Devineaux, is one of the but ii officers to go close enough to see Carmen's face up. She is as well the just A.C.Thou.E. amanuensis to visibly keep her job for the whole of both seasons until flavour iii, when she quit due to the Principal's mistaken assumptions with Carmen.

V.I.Fifty.E. [edit]

V.I.Fifty.East. (short for Villains' International League of Evil (underground as Valuable Imports, Lavish Exports) is a shadowy international criminal organization of thieves and the main antagonists of the series. They make their headquarters on one of the Canary Islands and apply the academy at that place to train their new recruits for a ane-yr semester. As of the end of Season ii, V.I.L.Eastward. Island was destroyed after the V.I.L.Due east. Faculty believed that A.C.M.Due east. had establish their location. V.I.Fifty.Due east. was so relocated to a castle in Scotland in Season 3.

The Faculty [edit]

A quango of five masterminds who are the leaders of V.I.L.East., the instructors of 5.I.L.E. Academy, and the main antagonists of the series who Carmen considered the just family she knew before betraying them. They each accept equal authority, and achieve decisions past a majority vote; thus they endeavour to ensure an odd number is always present.

  • Professor Gunnar Maelstrom (voiced by Liam O'Brien) – A Swedish-Norwegian psychiatrist and teacher of psychological manipulation. Sinister and quite psychotic, often the classic Machiavellian blazon villain and coming off as creepy to the V.I.L.Eastward. graduates and kinesthesia. He besides likes classical music, as shown in the Season 4 episode, "The Himalayan Rescue Caper", when he enthusiastically waves around like a conductor to a piece of classical music. Dissimilar his 1994 series counterpart, he is office of V.I.L.Eastward. itself, frequently acting equally the leader, mediator, and head spokesperson for the kinesthesia every bit a group.
  • Double-decker Brunt (voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) – A Texan coach and teacher of combat and physical training. She was Carmen's favorite teacher, and the two had soft spots for each other. Carmen always thought that Omnibus Burden was the one who found her, so the two shared a expert relationship. Brunt, like the other kinesthesia members, was quite upset over Carmen's betrayal. However, it seems that Carmen nonetheless has a soft spot for Coach Brunt, despite her truthful motivations. This was idea when Carmen gets altitude sickness and mistakes Dr. Pilar as Motorbus Burden, saying that she e'er knew it was Motorbus Brunt who found her as a baby (however, that honor is revealed to become to Shadowsan). She sports green hair, a possible nod to Eartha Animal from the Globe game evidence.
  • Countess Cleo (voiced by Toks Olagundoye) – An Egyptian wealthy debutant and instructor of culture, form, and forgery, maybe a reference to the Contessa, a recurring villain from the World gameshow. She seems to non actually intendance that much almost Carmen, and always tries to use her etiquette lessons to become rid of Carmen's rebellious streak. Her crimes deal with obtaining fine art and manner which she keeps for curt periods before selling them off.
  • Dr. Saira Bellum (voiced by Sharon Muthu) – An Indian mad scientist and V.I.L.E.'s main inventor; instructor of applied science and scientific discipline and much like her 1994 animated series counterpart, is the main technical skilful, responsible for creating all of the many gadgets and tools V.I.L.East. uses in their heists and schemes. She is shown to be slightly more reasonable than the other faculty, though still willing to destroy the food supply of Indonesia simply to shill in a market for an artificial commercial brand; she also has trouble understanding metaphors. She tends to multitask even during council meetings, focusing on numerous screens of information, much to Maelstrom's annoyance. It is shown on multiple occasions that she is a true cat lover.
  • Roundabout / Nigel Braithwaite (voiced by Trevor Devall) – A senior V.I.L.E. operative and British MI6 double-amanuensis who takes the place of Shadowsan at the end of season 2. He utilizes his influence in British Intelligence to requite 5.I.50.E. a leg upwards on any police enforcement that may zero in on their operations, equally well every bit divert attending away with proper diversionary substance. Like his namesake, he speaks in the way of one who received a prodigious educational activity but likewise uses that vernacular to imply something without proverb so and leading people into how he wants them. By the stop of Season three, he is revealed to be a talented fencer and was exposed to the residual of the earth as a criminal for stealing the Crown Jewels thanks to Player by uploading a video of him stealing them. He was arrested, but the Cleaners rescued him. However, by season 4, he is given a 2nd take a chance along with Neal, just failed in "The Beijing Bullion Caper" and was thrown in the dungeon for the remainder of the season while Neal escaped and by the finish of season four, he was arrested along with remainder of the Faculty.

She is based on the character of the aforementioned proper noun from the original 1994 animated series; though, unlike the original, who was nada more than a disguise donned by Ivy, Tigress is a separate person in the 2019 continuum. She is the longest-running combatant confronting Carmen, who felt like she needed to bear witness she was better than Tigress at choice-pocketing due to Tigress acing a test set by Shadowsan that Carmen failed (however, this is only because Shadowsan cheated so Carmen could fail). Tigress likewise dislikes Paper Star. In the interactive special, information technology is shown that in spite of her dislike of Carmen, Tigress is withal capable of returning the favor if Carmen helps her out, showing that she has a sense of honor.
  • El Topo / Antonio (voiced by Andrew Pifko) and Le Chevre / Jean Paul (voiced by Bernardo de Paula) – A pair of Five.I.50.E. operatives who used to be in Carmen's grouping of friends before she left. El Topo is a wisecracking Spanish spy with streamlined powerful digging gauntlets, while Le Chevre is a no-nonsense French spy with incredible parkour skills. In the interactive special, if Carmen works with El Topo, he holds no hostility towards her, stating his belief they are just pawns in the game of life; Le Chevre, on the other hand, volition taunt her. With the destruction of V.I.L.E. at the end of season four, they open a nutrient truck together.
  • Paper Star (voiced by Kimiko Glenn) – A psychopathic master of origami weapons, she is Maelstrom's favorite pupil. While on the contrary, Shadowsan rightfully believes Newspaper Star to exist too psychotic to carry out orders, as Newspaper Star refused to mitt over the stolen goods to Le Chevre per V.I.50.E. protocol. Paper Star has little combat feel outside of her origami techniques; whenever they have been negated, Carmen has gained the upper hand.
  • Mime Bomb – A silent mute, spy and snitch; dresses as a mime artist for public camouflage. He is commonly used by the kinesthesia to spy on the students, which is too how the faculty found out that Carmen had stowed away.

Vlad is shorter than Boris and has brown hair and eyebrows with a sharper mentum than him. He possesses a more tired expression equally well. His hair is revealed to exist balding. Boris'due south chin is more than square and edgeless than Vlad'due south and is taller than him. His pilus and eyebrows are blackness and tilted. They both accept somewhat wrinkly faces with their hair cut brusk. Their attire changes depending on their office in missions but they mainly wear pale green-grey shirts and pants with a black chugalug. During a costume party in the episode "The Haunted Bayou Caper", Boris dresses every bit Frankenstein, and Vlad as Count Dracula. They are based on Rick and Nick ICK, commonly known as The ICK Brothers, a pair of V.I.L.E. henchmen who had similar jobs, seen in the 1996 edition of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, who were assigned to "clean upward" the evidence of V.I.Fifty.Due east.'s whereabouts. However, the brothers' incompetence always ends upwards creating more messes for V.I.50.E.'s members as ACME's detectives continue to pursue them.
  • Cookie Booker (voiced by Rita Moreno) – V.I.50.Due east.'south bookkeeper and financier; she believes in white neckband law-breaking above other forms. Rita Moreno was the voice of Carmen Sandiego in the 1994 animated serial, a connection subtly referenced when Carmen steals her trademark outfit from Booker every bit a kind of "passing of the torch."
  • Dash Haber (voiced by Troy Bakery) – Countess Cleo's executive courier and personal assistant. Dash Haber'south chief weapon is his hat, which is embellished with razor-sharp blades and tin be thrown and retrieved through magnets in his gloves. His name is a pun of the discussion haberdasher.

  • Neal the Eel (voiced by Rhys Darby) – A New Zealand thief that wears a wet suit allowing him to slip through vents, tight spaces, and anyone that attempts to grab him. He mostly works for Dr. Bellum and rarely teams up with some other agent. His offensive weapons are a pair of tasers.
  • Spin Boot (voiced by Dante Basco) – A fellow member of V.I.L.E. Academy'south newest graduated form that specializes in kickboxing and partnered with Wing Trap. Carmen simply avoids him as they are too evenly matched.
  • Wing Trap (voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles) – A member of V.I.Fifty.Due east. Academy'due south newest graduated class that wields a pair of bolas and partnered with Spin Boot. Carmen outwits her by using the bolas in ricochet attacks to catch Fly Trap off guard.
  • The Troll (voiced by Osric Chau) – A Korean skilled computer tech and internet hacker who is similar an evil counterpart to Histrion. Though it is unknown if The Troll is besides a white-hat hacker, he has demonstrated as high proficiency in encryption breaking, hacking and data collection every bit Player. The Troll hates it when people call him just "Troll", though he admits that it'south not ever best to pronounce information technology that style.

Academy. However, later a failed mission, Graham had his memories erased by Bellum. He returned to Australia where he met up with Carmen once again (merely this fourth dimension, he didn't remember her) and asked her out on a appointment. However she left before she fifty-fifty got in that location, because she thought that Gray had a chance to commencement over, and that Carmen Sandiego would ruin that take a chance. In "The Crepitation Goes Kiwi Caper", Carmen recruits him to help her infiltrate Dr. Bellum'southward New Zealand lab, only upon his realizing Carmen's true mission, he helps destroy Bellum'due south experiment; they then finally have that date and talk more. By the end of season 3, it's revealed that Graham has been spied on by A.C.Thou.E. since and so, acknowledging that he is the last and just link they have to Carmen, and it is hinted they intend to bring him in.
