"My cockles are pretty toasty, too. Wait, what are cockles again?"
—Carver, in Port Haven (DS, Cell phone)
Carver is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation. He is a travelling martial artist and the first to join the Hero on his quest. The two of them work together as a part of the Somnian military in the war against Murdaw before discovering the mystery of the Lower and Upper Worlds.
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 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.

Etymology
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. Carver's Japanese name Hassan (حسّان) is a name of Arabic origin which means "beautifier, improver".
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.
