## Biography

### Early Life

As a child, Carter was saved from a burning building by a mystery firefighter. This encounter led him to follow in his savior's footsteps and become a firefighter himself. He later found this mystery firefighter to be none other than Captain Mitchell. Over the years, Captain Mitchell kept a close eye on Carter, watching him become a fireman and saw he had the potential to be a great Power Ranger and leader.

### Lightspeed Rescue

Carter Grayson was one of Mariner Bay's best firefighters. His daredevil maneuvers risked his life, but saved those in danger. Carter is brave, headstrong, and quick thinking. Carter was the first to accept his role and took up the position of team leader as the Red Lightspeed Ranger, and courageously led the Rangers against Diabolico's forces. As the Red Ranger, Carter is a strong leader, however he is strict and by-the-book.

During the series, he develops feelings for Dana, but it's unknown if he has expressed them yet, though the feelings seems to be mutual. An example is in the episode "The Last Ranger", when the Rangers, save Dana, lose their memories, Carter sees Dana get hurt and it restores his memories.

Carter bravely took down Queen Bansheera in a final battle, tossing her into the Shadow World for good. After Lightspeed Rescue disbanded, he returned to being a firefighter.

### Time Force

Following the defeat of Queen Bansheera one year later, Vypra returned from the dead and began terrorizing Silver Hills. He appears driving and stopping the Rescue Rover and steps out, introducing himself to the Time Force Rangers. At the Clock Tower, he then tells the Time Force Rangers about Vypra's plan, that is to summon a powerful Demon named Quarganon and proceeds to call his teammates. Vypra proceeds to summon Quarganon but is interrupted by Carter and Wes. Carter steals the amulet and drives away but Vypra follows them in her rebuilt Vypari and confronts them at a dead end and the two Red Rangers are stopped by Ransik. Carter is about to destroy the amulet but is interrupted by Nadira who has the other Time Force Rangers captive.

For Wes' teammates safety, Carter is forced to reluctantly give back the amulet to Vypra and she ordered her Demon Warriors to let the four Time Force Rangers go. After that, Vypra summoned Quarganon, but are immediately helped by the other Lightspeed Rangers, all the Rangers morph into their Ranger forms and was ready to fight the five Demon Warriors. Carter and Wes team up against Vyra and Quarganon, when the battle is very dificult, Carter and the other Rangers turned into their Battlizers against and destroyed Vypra and Quarganon. The Time Force Rangers show the Lightspeed Rangers their base and give them their jackets after the Time Force Rangers give their Time Force uniforms. They then offer to transport the Lightspeed Rangers back to Mariner Bay.

### Recent Adventures

Following the team up with Time Force, Carter had married Dana Mitchell with their former teammates attending the wedding in Hawaii. He would use his Lightspeed power again to take on the remnants of the Machine Empire with the other Red Rangers from Mighty Morphin to Wild Force. It would be another ten years before he would be called to action again when he would team up with his Lightspeed Rescue team to help the Super Megaforce team beat the Armada in the Legendary Battle.

### Train Force

Carter would find himself gaining a new type of power to that ever experienced before when he finally met up with the team of Power Rangers Train Force. Through the technology developed from the old arsenal of Lightspeed Rescue thanks to Ms Fairweather and his father-in-law, Captain Mitchell, Carter had managed to create a new power called the Train Force Powers which would be used by the Train Force Team to defeat the Shadow Line Army.

After realising how damaging the power would be if fallen into the wrong hands, Carter would return to assist the Train Force Rangers by taking on the mantle of the Elizabeth Line Ranger which was a prototype ranger design he had initially worked on over 20 years ago.

## Psychological profile

### Personality

As a career fireman, Carter's priority has always been the well-being of others. In his debut scene, he refuses to leave a burning building that's about to collapse without retrieving the civilians trapped inside. At the end of Lightspeed Rescue, he even urges his friends to close the lid of the tomb to the Shadow World so he can sacrifice himself to stop the demons from being unleashed. Carter's dutifulness to protect others is somewhat misguided. He never took a day off, even when Captain Mitchell gave the Rangers crystal clear orders to take a day off and relax. This was because he believed to help others, he must put himself through intense training, even if he isn't happy with it. It wasn't until a pep talk from Captain Mitchell did Carter finally realized even selfless people need time to themselves once and a while.

Carter is shown to be a brave individual with a warrior's pride. He refuses to retreat even when it was clear the resurrected and empowered Trifire and Magmavore were overpowering their Lightspeed Megazord and would rather die fighting. He could also be impulsive, sometimes performing actions that would result in more casualties if not for Captain Mitchel's guidance. He eventually learns to listen to Captain Mitchel's orders to retreat, realizing it's better to live to fight another day than to die for nothing. Carter also has a sharp battle instinct, shown when the Lightspeed Solarzord seemingly destroyed Diabolico and again when the Lightspeed Megazord seemingly destroyed Queen Bansheera, he concluded it was way too easy and accurately deducted during the second time that Queen Bansheera escaped, rather than being destroyed.

When it came to his time on Train Force, Carter had grown to be a smarter figure and one who would go out of his way to protect those he cared about.
