Karl (Fallout 3)

Karl is a member of the Family in Capital Wasteland in 2277. 
==Background==
Karl was married to a woman named Skyler and they lived together in Meresti before her death. They used to be shop owners in Megaton, and Vance encountered them while getting supplies. Vance felt a kinship with them and invited them to join him. Karl is gruff and has a short temper; he prefers others leave him alone. He is cynical, suspicious of others and thinks the worst of them.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.80: "KarlKarl is 37 and was married to a woman named Skyler. Both of them lived together in Meresti before she passed. They were once owners of a shop in Megaton, and Vance met them while gathering supplies. He had felt a strong kinship with them and invited them to join him. Karl is very gruff and has a short fuse; he prefers not to speak to people. He is always highly suspicious of people and prefers to think the worst of them. Karl is distinguished by his unusual haircut: long blond hair, which is not common for a man of his bulky stature."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
Karl does not believe in Vance's vampiric teachings but plays the part in order to keep his store in the Meresti Metro Station.
