'''Carver''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ6}}. He is a travelling [[martial artist]] and the first to join the {{Hero 6}} on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the [[Somnia (Upper World)|Somnian military]] in the war against [[Murdaw]] before discovering the mystery of the [[Lower World|Lower]] and [[Upper World]]s.

==Appearance and personality==
Carver is a mountain of a man, towering over most characters. He wears a grey open vest along with a turquoise-colored pair of shorts, and an orange sash lengthened by a piece of rope. Over his shorts, he wears a light-green mawashi, a type of loincloth similar to those worn by sumo wrestlers in real life. He also wears black shoes with a pair of light-green socks. He is noticeably more tan than the rest of the characters. Coupled with his purple mohawk, Carver's appearance is among the most distinct in the game.

Despite his intimidating build, Carver is a kind and friendly man, and starts a friendship with the {{Hero 6}} soon after they meet. Almost always jovial, Carver does his best to stay positive in darker moments, and tries to keep the mood light with a quick joke or a pun. A bit of a braggart, Carver thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to accept any praises from villagers for the group's good deeds.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ6}}===
{{spoiler|start}}Carver appears in the cold opening alongside the hero and [[Milly]]. Their assault on Murdaw ends in disaster when the leathery wizard turns them to stone, resulting in the Hero falling out of bed and awakening from a nightmare. 

The Hero next encounters Carver in [[Somnia (Upper World)|Somnia]] after bumping into him and again during the initiation trial at [[Gardsbane Tower]]. Carver wishes the Hero good luck and hopes the best man wins, which is noticed by the test supervisors as the kind of cooperation the Somnian military is looking for. Newly pressed into service, Carver and the Hero are first sent to investigate rumors of a ferocious mustang menacing the countryside, which results in the duo gaining ownership of Peggy Sue and the castle's finest [[Wagon]]. The duo's next assignment has them search for any clues as to the location of [[Ra's Mirror]]: the journey gives insight into Carver's excellent carpentry skill, and results in a reunion with Milly in a [[Lower World]].

After a lengthy discourse with madam Luca Luminesta, joining with [[Ashlynn]], fighting fake Murdaw, and getting ownership of a legendary vessel through the help of [[Nevan]], Carver joins the Hero in the second siege of [[Murdaw's Keep]]. In the castle Carver discovers a statue of his exact likeness, and upon touching it fuses with the stone--his original body Murdaw stripped from him in the game's opening. Realizing that "he" was the idealized version of himself, Carver comes to terms with the reality of the situation and his past as the runaway son of a master craftsman who dreamed of becoming a legendary martial artist. Carver's inner fire burns brighter after becoming whole, and learns [[Knuckle Sandwich]].

During the ending sequence, Carver returns to his family in [[Port Haven]] to continue his father's carpentry business.

==={{DQ9}}===
On April 29, 2011, Carver began appearing as a special guest at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
*[[Carver's vest]] - Received when talking to him.
*[[Carver's hair]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Carver's shorts]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*[[Carver's shoes]] - Received when the Hero is a [[Gladiator]].
*[[Carver's bracers]] - Received after completing [[List_of_quests_in_Dragon_Quest_IX:_151-184|Quest #157]].
The player will receive the special [[Accolade]] '''Punk-Haired Pugilist''' if the Hero wears all parts of Carver's costume. However, it is only possible for a male Hero to earn this Accolade because Carver's Vest and Shorts are marked as male only and not even the [[Wear-with-all award]].

==={{DQH2}}===
Carver appears as one of the playable characters in the game. He uses Gauntlets as his weapon of choice and speaks with an Irish accent.

==={DQTact}}===
He appears as an S-rank member of the Hero family as part of the limited ''Dragon Quest VI'' event who can be unlocked by playing through chapter 1 of the event's story. He can learn [[Macho Focus]], [[Explosive Flying Knee]], and [[Mega Knuckle Sandwich]] naturally and his Coup de Grâce is [[Über Knuckle Sandwich]]. His leader perk raises the Defense stat of all Hero allies, including himself, in a 5x5 area by 30%.

==Other Languages==
{{Language
|ja = {{tt|ハッサン|Hassan}} | ja-meaning = From Arabic ''Hassan'' (حسّان) which means "beautifier, improver". 
| en = Carver | en-meaning = Carver is an occupational English name that was originally used as a surname until roughly the 1890's, in which it began to see use in America as a men's given name. 
|es=Ebanisto|es-meaning=Masculine form of "ebanista", lit. a person who makes furniture.

| zh-cn = {{tt|哈桑|Hāsāng}} | zh-cn-meaning = Transliteration of the Japanese name ''Hassan''.
}}

==Trivia==
*Carver's syntax is significantly different between ''IX'', where he speaks with a Cockney accent similar to [[Yangus]], and ''VI'' were he speaks with no discernible accent but peppers his sentences with nautical phrases and terms used in carpentry. This discrepancy can be attributed to the two games being localized by [[Plus-Alpha]] and [[8-4 ltd]], respectively.
*Carver bears a strong resemblance to the Southern Daikaioshin from Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. Appropriately, said character is the physically strongest of his group.
