Trivia

Etymology

• "Karl" is the German and Scandinavian form of Charles. It is said to have been derived from a Common Germanic noun karlaz meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl, which developed its deprecating sense in the Middle English period. An alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic element hari meaning 'army, warrior'.

Miscellaneous

• Karl is most likely German, due to him saying, "Herr Fortesque" when addressing Dan, instead of "Mr. Fortesque" or simply just "Fortesque", and also because of his use of the word "nein" in place of "no".
