Series arc

A name in book 2; in book 3 the other end of the line — four hundred crawlers gathered, twenty eaten by Terminus, a Kravyad neutralised and lost, fifty kilometres to the abyss on foot, six hundred saved by carts and hats. His secret is Miss Quill's stuffed monsters, and his sponsor is the company that makes them.

By book

Daniel Bautista in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario

His sisters' and cousin's corpses are the lemurs' bait (ch. 5, ch. 6); his name is on the Divider's corpse (ch. 18). Met at last outside the collapsing municipal building (ch. 23): a Tigran who wishes he had stayed human so God would recognise him, whose quest Carl ruined and whose family Carl avenged. 'Call me if you need me, and I will come.' Points the way to the second stairwell (ch. 25).

Daniel Bautista in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook

Carl's other switchboard: station 199 (ch. 4), the club-number trick and the first bounty talk (ch. 6), the end of the line. He gathers four hundred, loses twenty to Terminus, neutralises the Kravyad with a Voca Nye and loses the portal when she dies (ch. 18, ch. 19, ch. 20), walks fifty kilometres to the abyss, loses almost fifty on its walkway, and waits with six hundred while Carl's carts come (ch. 27, ch. 28). His secret is Miss Quill's stuffed monsters — true summonings, from Jaxbrin Amusements, his sponsor (ch. 29). A tiger 'vomited upon by a Lisa Frank notebook,' level 28, a swashbuckler who needs to practise with his sword. 'Thank god for plan B.' 'That was actually plan C.'

Daniel Bautista in book 4 — The Gate of the Feral Gods

In a tunnel, then an ant colony, going through Miss Quill's stuffed monsters (ch. 1, ch. 7); gave Carl the Grulke figure that becomes a decoy toad (ch. 7). Clears all four of his castles with most of his bubble dead (ch. 20); goes down as a god rampages (ch. 28); he joins Katia's new party; she says he is 'very lost' (ch. 33).
