Sam is a friend from Carl's life before the dungeon, a figure who exists in the series only through Carl's memories. In The Eye of the Bedlam Bride he is recalled as a monobrowed, devoted Magic: The Gathering player who quietly brought food to a teenage Carl living alone after his father disappeared, helping him survive until someone noticed. By This Inevitable Ruin, Carl's recollections add depth: Sam's goofy, disheveled manner hid a sharp, alert mind that could surprise people. He stands as a reminder of the ordinary kindness and human connections Carl lost when the world ended.
