Minecraft Dungeons:Karl

Karl is a hero from the novel The Rise of the Arch-Illager and the arrogant member of a a group of heroes who has the traits of a stereotypical hero who attacks anyone and anything he thinks is evil. This leads him to be the subject of Archie’s hatred and the main antagonist of the novel. He was given the nickname of Smacker by Archie.

Story
In the beginning of the novel, Karl notices some hostile mobs attacking a group of Illagers outside a village. He decides to attack the hostile mobs with his iron sword, killing them off with ease. The Illagers take notice of Karl and plan to attack him, but one of them, described as "a particularly short one with a massive nose" begins to speak. Although Karl couldn’t understand what the Illager was saying, as they spoke two completely different languages, he let him speak out of curiosity, soon understanding that the Illager was practically begging the others to spare Karl, seeing as he had killed the hostile mobs that had attacked them. Another Illager, an evoker, then smacks the begging Illager on the side of its head with its sword, ending its blabbering. Karl then kills off the rest of the Illagers with relative ease, except for the short one with the massive nose. Karl explains to this particular Illager that he’s not going to hurt him and lets him go back to his home, making sure he tells the other Illagers the name: Karl.

The Illager that was described as “a particularly short one with a massive nose” is revealed to be named Archie, who "seethed in frustration and fury" after Karl began to head back toward a village.
