Carl
Crawler #4,122 · protagonist · ex-Coast Guard
A 27-year-old marine technician from Seattle who runs out into a sub-zero night in his boxers to fetch his ex's cat, seconds before every building on Earth is crushed for the dungeon. Six-foot-three, gym-built, and far tougher and more level-headed than the show's producers expect.
