Carlo Varese

Carlo Varese also known as "Cleaver" is located in Novigrad and is one of the four main crime bosses of the city alongside Francis Bedlam, Whoreson junior and Sigi Reuven.

He is by race a Dwarf who's gang is primarily made up of other dwarves. This is seen in the quests "Swords and dumplings" where the people sent to ambush Geralt were dwarves. Also seen in the quest "Get junior" were if you side with junior to get whoreson ,Geralt and Cleavers men(made entirely of dwarves) raid whoresons casino, fight club and house.

Appearance

He is sturdily built like all other dwarves. He supports a Mohawk which is meant to add to his aggressive persona. He is covered in tattoos which can be seen when first entering Sigi's bathhouse. Depicted on his body is a sword which further strengthens the idea that he is an aggressive man who is more prone to action that planning unlike Francis or Sigi. He is straight talking and is prone to using vulgar and aggressive language.

Occupation His criminal empire is primarily based seemingly in "entertainment" according to Sigi when he introduces Geralt to Francis and Carlo. We also learn that he has major control over all smiths and armourers in Novigrad, as seen in the quest "Swords and dumplings" and that he controls many of the needed supplies for smithing, this ensures that all must come to him if they wish to gain purchase in the Novigrad weapons trade.

Personality He is generally aggressive as he called whoreson an "uncle fucker" according to Sigi.He is also quite undiplomatic and prefers action to planning. He will take revenge on those who have betrayed him and he seemingly rewards those who help him. This is seen when cleaver approaches Geralt to participate in a horse race and if he does he will be amply rewarded.
