Carl Ryder

"I wasn't the best father to you..."

"The best? No. You weren't a father at all. You were a filthy victimizer who beat a child from early childhood until that kid was strong enough to crush you. And now, you cower in fear because you realize that I can deal all of damage right back to you."

"Jamy, you were the son of satan for crying out loud!"

"Hahaha... I happen know Lucy, and he's a far better man than you'll ever be."

-Carl to James, 2016.

Childhood (1965-1983)
Carl Ryder was the only legitimate child to John Ryder and Susan Ryder. He was born in Atlantis City in 1965 and would grow up to become a successful businessman and religious extremist. Carl started displaying signs of narcissism at an early stage and came to be a dangerous child with an appetite for violence. Carl was often mistreated for his bad behavior which would cause him to look for a higher power, someone to accept him for who he truly was. In that desperation he found god.
