About Carl Francis Gallagher
Biography
Carl Francis Gallagher is the second youngest Gallagher child, and is basically nothing but trouble. Carl shares a room with his brothers Lip and Ian, who try to keep their more adult interests from him. Carl is often in trouble at school for attacking other students. In his early years, he displays several psychopathic tendencies such as mutilating his toys and killing stray animals, although this behavior seems to be less prevalent as he ages. He also begins to show concern for Frank. His bond with Frank is strengthened after Frank convinces him he has cancer (for one of his schemes—later "cured")..
Family Life
Carl has a total of 2 sisters (both older), 1 brother (older), 2 half brothers (1 older, 1 younger), and 1 half sister (older). He shares a room with his two older brother's (Ian and Phillip) and younger brother (Liam).
