Carver

**Carver** is a skeleton and Golden Bones' new first-mate, succeeding the Skeleton First-Mate. After many failures by Golden Bones in retrieving Calabrass, Skullivar replaces him with Carver, but a betrayal by Golden Bones causes Carver to get stranded, while the former gets to get the glory of seizing Calabrass for Skullivar.

## Personality

It is shown that Carver is very dutiful and will serve his captain the best he can, even if for that he needs to ally himself with the enemy temporarily in order to rescue him. He is also honorable, as he kept the agreement he had made with Star to walk away once they had rescued their captains and the truce was ended, even if he had to rebel against Golden Bones.

However, it would appear Carver harbors some ressentment on Bones, specially when his obcession in defeating Dusk Storm causes their mission to fail. This is shown after Skullivar demotes Bones and promotes Carver. His spite against Golden Bones becomes so strong that, when stranded in an island after being betrayed by him, he wishes that Dusk can get rid of him.

## Skills

Carver has the same abilities as a normal skeleton, but he is seen being a capable leader. He is also a very good planner, as he came up with a plan that involved using a vortex inducer to teleport to the Chaos and seize Calabrass by surprise.

## Description in the saga

### *Adventures in the Bermikun Triangle*

In "Trials by Fire", Carver helps Golden Bones lead an attack against the Sea Raiders when they try to find the Waypoint of Blazz. After Golden Bones and Dusk fall into the volcano, he continues the attack, stopping only when he sees Star asking for truce. Despite Carve agrees to that, he and Star disagree in the way how to deal with the situation, what escalates into a fight that is prevented by Opal who replies against both ideas. She then comes up with a better idea that is agreed by both parts and they proceed to put it in action. After that, Star and Carver go help Dusk and Golden Bones get out of the volcano. Despite Bones' desire to keep fighting, Carver makes the skeletons to take him back to the Demoniac and retreat, much to Star's gratitude, and tells him next time they would be enemies.

In "The Lost Opal", when Dusk and the others are trying to retrieve the Lost Orb to know the location of the last Waypoint, they are attacked by Golden Bones and his army, including Carver. However, the latters fail to capture the Sea Raiders who managed to escape with the orb. Back at Netherwhere, Skullivar gets angry that Golden Bones had failed him countless times. Hence, he decided to put Carver in command instead of Golden Bones and told Golden Bones that he will accomplish the mission with an individual vortex inducer. Discontented with the way Carver plans to seize Calabrass, Golden Bones tries to regain the control over the Demoniac, fighting Carver, however, because of the teleporter, Carver is able to defeat him and orders the others to take him to the brig. Despite Bones' rebellion causes Carver to miss the opportunity he had, later, he gets another after following the heroes to Vapir. He uses the vortex inducer to invade the Chaos. He takes the crew down one by one but could not grab Calabrass, the Sword of Legend. The Demoniac then started firing at the Chaos. With Dusk distracted, Carver takes Calabrass and teleports back to the Demoniac. Once there, Carver is attacked by behind by Bones who takes Calabrass from him. Carver is able to escape thanks to the teleporter, but he appears in midair and collides with Dusk, who was trying to get to the Demoniac to rescue Calabrass. The two of them crash on an island, where Dusk takes the vortex inducer from Carver and then flies away with the Plank. Despite not wanting for Dusk to win, he does hope that the young captain does defeat Golden Bones.
