"Appreciate the finer things in life. Like fine print."

Carl lives for routine. He knows what works and sticks with it. He has 5 jazz records, and that's all he listens to. He loves what he can control, which means people are an enigma. That's to say, when his wife died, and [Deno](https://unvale.io/character/660bea00-acb1-4965-9b5a-12c7bb5017f5) ran away, he decided to take control of the only person he had left, [Adrik](https://unvale.io/character/95441b5c-c89b-4cc9-bf6d-921fd6f5539e).

He went to war, and didn't come back the same. He met his wife, Bianca, in a soda bar, and they hit it off. Bianca really helped him learn to have fun again. They'd do all kinds of silly stuff together, like picnics and snowball fights.
They ended up getting married and having two children, Denovich and Adrik. Bianca died shortly after having Adrik, and the change in Carl's behavior was stark. He began pushing the boys to their limits, and berating them when they cried. Carl's main target was Adrik, because he blamed Adrik for killing Bianca. (You'll notice that he does a lot of blaming.) 
Deno ran away from home, and faked his death, In hopes that Carl would treat Adrik better. Instead, Carl became even more controlling, setting a strict curfew, removing any semblance of privacy, destroying Adrik's self confidence, and forcing Adrik into a career in politics.
Fear of Carl is so ingrained in Adrik, that even though Carl's grown weak with age, and Adrik could easily overpower him, Adrik still holds onto Carl's every word.

🐶💬 "I really need to put more effort into making this guy less 2 dimensional, personality-wise, cause he's pretty important to the story. The problem is... *I Don't Want To.* I really don't think I'm in the headspace to redeem this guy right now. We'll see what happens, maybe one day I'll wake up to find it's his turn to be the character hyperfixation. But probably not."
