Karkov is a grumpy old man who has very little patience for humor. He is an elderly Tokota, well on in his years, and his body shows it. He walks with a limp, but his pack likes to tell him he's skipping with joy and call him Skipper when he isn't around. When he is focused, he is ruthless and doesn't let the pain in his body stop him from hunting or fighting like his life depends on it. No one doubts his loyalty, but it's hard to tell if he's capable of feeling love at this point.
