Notes
- If the Courier kills Karl, the Great Khans will not become hostile. This will still result in Legion infamy.
- Karl pronounces the word Caesar with a hard C sound sometimes when approached.
- Karl comments about the Burned Man.[3]
- If the Courier has a positive reputation with the Legion, Karl will remark on this and recognize the Courier upon first interaction.[4]
- If the player character is vilified with the Legion, Karl will not be hostile on sight but still say that the Courier is perilously close to making an enemy of Caesar, even if Caesar is dead.[5]
- If the Courier has previously killed Caesar, Karl will state that he would avenge him if he were not on Great Khan soil.[6] In some cases, he may attack on sight, but the Great Khans will not intervene for the Courier or Karl.
- Karl will remain at Red Rock Canyon even if the Courier has already killed all the Great Khan inhabitants.
- Legionary Assassins may attack the Courier noting that "Karl sends his regards".[7] Later on, Karl himself may appear and attack the player character after initiating dialogue.[8]
- If Karl is killed, his footlocker in his room inside the longhouse can be looted with no loss of Karma.
