Karl

Karl is a man living in New York who wants to track down the man-killing tiger for the reward money.

Physical appearance
Karl is a young man in his early twenties. He has brown skin and brown eyes. He often wears round sunglasses, even at night, and a backwards baseball cap.

Personality
Karl often refers to people by nicknames. He calls Jonny "goldilocks", he calls Hadji "Tonto" and "swami", and he calls Vince Vance "prime time".

History
Karl and his buddies see Vince Vance's coverage of the Quest team press conference and the announcement of the $100,000 reward for the tiger. When the three of them run into Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji in the park, they recognize Jonny and Hadji from the press conference, and they decide to use them to find the tiger.

Karl makes arrangements to collect the reward, and he and his buddies make the Quest kids show them the underground tunnels where they saw the tiger. After Jonny traps the tiger, Karl calls Vince Vance to get the camera crew out there and the reward. But when it comes time for DB Graves to shoot the tiger, Karl can't let him and stands in his way, saving the tiger. When Race shoots the tiger with a tranquilizer, Karl mourns, thinking it's dead.

The Quest team invites Karl and his buddies with them to Darjuna National Park to release the tiger into the wild.

Quotes

Notes/trivia

 * Karl sees his reflection in the tiger's eyes and ends up accompanying the tiger to freedom in the Darjuna National Park with the Quest team. This parallels Jonny seeing himself in Ndovu's eyes when Ndovu recognized Jonny and chose him to escort him to the elephants' graveyard in the previous episode Ndovu's Last Journey.
