carmen was born in the endless desert of arad as the youngest of four siblings. his father died of a withering cancer during the course of ruchami’s pregnancy with him, and she raised them on her own with the meager scraps of her job sewing up rich people’s suits.
samuel’s death left her withered, and carmen grew up desperate to fix his family, putting on many different hats but ultimately settling for over-achiever.
then there’s the draft, some people care more than others, and carmen saw tzahal as his only option. if he went back to arad he’d work for ruchami’s boss, a cantankerous waif with shaking hands and more wrinkles than constellations in the sky. he ate slept breathed and pissed army until he made it through gibbush and was chosen for shayetet 13.
carmen served for six years during which time he met teri gan on vacation with her family. after this teri visited as often as she could, sometimes staying with her extended family to spend more time with him. on one of her visits she revealed she was pregnant with kitty, and he resolved to make their transatlantic romance work (which it did!)
during charles’s time in haifa volunteering with ICRC/ITS, carmen met both him and erik lehnsherr as well as daniel shomron and helped them recover stolen artifacts from a museum, which were being sold illegally at auction. despite not being a mutant, carmen made it known that he was an asset and they all parted on good terms.
when he exited the service he immigrated to the united states to be with teri, and they moved to a modest home in brooklyn, new york. years later they would discovered that kitty was a mutant at age 13, and they turned to the xavier institute to help her, charles remembering his old friend offered carmen the chance to teach contact combat at the school.
retired at middle-age was not a great look for him and no, devorah, i’m not going to work in your pastry shop because your son, the teenager you call “the manager,” is seventeen and i’m pretty sure i caught him fucking his girlfriend by the water cooler, so, not into that.
(read: he readily accepted the teaching post, thank-you.)
