Carl - The Sandman

 A friend and neighbour of Rose Walker during her time in New Brunswick, Carl, offered to house-sit while she travelled to Sussex. He continued looking after her apartment when she later went to Cape Kennedy, Florida, in search of her younger brother, Jed.

During Rose’s absence, Carl encountered the Corinthian, who was hunting Rose. The two quickly connected and ended up having sex. 

However, before the Corinthian could kill Carl and take his eyes, he was distracted by reports of a copycat killer terrorising a nearby diner.

After Rose returned from Florida, Carl began dating her former landlord, Hal, who had accompanied her on the trip home.
