Sir Carlan (カーラン
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Sir Carlan is a portly middle-aged man, with a thin handlebar mustache, yellow eyes, and a medium grown length of brown hair. He wears a fancy golden jacket, golden boots, and brown trousers.
Personality[]
Sir Carlan is rude, arrogant, stubborn, unhelpful, and concerned only for his safety and comfort. He refuses to accept his situation and thumbs his nose at the other members of Castaway Village. Because of his egocentric views and refusal to help the other castaways, he is at odds with the others for most of the time.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana[]
Adol and his party encounter Sir Carlan and Kiergaard Weissman in the Towering Coral Forest, where Carlan complains about his injured ankle. He wants to be carried to Castaway Village by Laxia von Roswell because she is the only one of nobility nearby, but when Dogi arrives and offers to bring them to the village, Sir Carlan defiantly shows that he can walk back on his own.
Not only does he cause problems for the village, but when everyone must band together to defend against a beast raid, Carlan is nothing more than dead weight.

After the Nameless Ripper's attack on Captain Barbaros, Sir Carlan starts to panic and tries to flee the island in the village's small rowboat. He was attacked by the Oceanus, the same Primordial that sank the Lombardia, shortly after. While some of the crushed boats parts washed ashore again, the other castaways found no trace of Carlan himself, and declared him dead.
Some time later, Adol's party rebuild the rowboat to explore Solitude Island, a small island in the southern bay of the Isle of Seiren, and look for more survivors there. To their surprise, they found Sir Carlan and brought him back to Castaway Village. The experience of being left completely alone without food for days humbles him slightly and he starts to appreciate the village more. He is shocked to hear about Captain Barbaros' death, and despite putting on a rude behavior at first, he immediately goes to Barbaros' grave. He notes to Adol that, while he didn't like the Captain, he certainly deserved better.
During his Approval Event, Euron and Dogi ask Adol for help with their resource management plans. Sir Carlan then steps in and shows how they could be optimized, saying he learned this from his father. From then on he helps by managing Castaway Village's resources and bookkeeping.
