Zombie Carl is a rotting, dark, decaying, entity of living death. But on the inside he's a kind, and loyal friend. Zombie Carl was a normal human being until he was turned into a zombie by the Crown of Nightmares, similar to Paul turning into a yeti. Or the Nightmare Crown killed him, he was buried, and he came back as a zombie. Poor Carl now spends his undead days as a butler at the Boudreaux Mansion, a pilot for the Spectre Squadron and as a gatekeeper from Spookane.
