==Appearance and Personality==

Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the [[ Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

The Hero next encounters Carver in [[Somnia]] after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at [[Guardsbane Tower]]. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the Somnian military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the Hero are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest [[wagon]]. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of [[Ra's Mirror]]: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with Milly in a [[Lower World]].

After a lengthy discourse with madam Luca Luminesta, joining with [[Ashlynn]], fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of [[Nevan]], Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of [[Murdaw's Keep]]. In the castle proper Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body Murdaw stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns [[Knuckle Sandwich]].

Aside from class abilities, Carver learns a few skills on his own:

Carver appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the hero different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled. A special [[Accolade]] is earned if the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] wears all of the parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male Hero to earn this Accolade as certain parts of Carver's costume are male-only.

==Trivia==

*Carver's syntax is significantly different between ''IX'', where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to [[Yangus]], and ''VI'' were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by [[Plus-Alpha]] and 8-4 ltd, respectively.
