Carl's parents are both from Hefrumm. His mother is a tailor and his father a retired soldier that bought his own boat to become a fisherman. This profession was Carl's father dream and he managed to make his dreams come true.
At his youngest age, Carl grew up with a more or less missing father since this one was constantly away fishing and as every one may know : you can sail for a few days before coming back home with such a job. Thus, the little dwarf boy has cultivated lot of anxiety about her father not getting back home. "Is he dead ?" "Eaten by a bigger fish ?" "His boat has been tsunamised ?" et cetera...
Carl's mother did everything to have her child get the best education she could find. Maths, history... Everything that could enhance his mental abilities in order not to have him be part of the soldier who goes fighting to defend their nation like his father did before in the Inferi war to stop the demonic armies to enslave the kingdoms. The goal was having Carl become a political figure or at least an office one. Writing papers effectively never killed someone.
Therefore, destiny has chosen another path for him since his father's coworker quitted their job. Carl has naturally becomed nominated to help his fisherman of father.
This was weird for him. Still, he was loving it being near to his father. But desillusion came quick as Carl did not know much about fishing. The first years of discovering hard working was a melting pot of contempt, rebuke and disappointment. It hurted him a lot to understand he was not loved as much as he always had imagined.
Nowadays, Carl has become better. Actually is he as good as his father. Maybe better, especially with the little crafts and inventions he added to his father's ship. His parent now stops being rude with him but still dreams Carl about becoming an artisan. Specifically, the sixty one years old wishes to become a famous crafter for his beloved Hefrumm.
For this, he builds random things every time he can. This includes mostly clocks and things that work with gears. He also hopes being able to quit the fisherman's job since his father has newly recruited people. Even if dwarves live a long time, few decades of fishing is a long time.
