Your Character
During the gala in Chapter 7, Joaquin tells you that he overheard Karl and Erica talking about you, Aislinn, and Gabe, and that they were worried about something you're working on. When you then decide to eavesdrop on them, Karl shows Erica a recording he made of Aislinn asking to talk to "Oliver Reed", Sorcha's supposed guardian. In Chapter 11, you eavesdrop on her and Karl. While she suggests that you might stop investigating them if they appoint Aislinn as Sorcha's guardian, Karl says that he doubts that the people who got Peter Koenig charged with murder would ignore a corruption case.

Karl Goodall
Karl is Erica's accomplice in the conservatorship scheme. When Karl brings up the recording with Aislinn, Erica says that they need to talk to their boss right away, because if your crew keeps digging into their affairs, they are screwed. In Chapter 10, Gabe reveals that both Erica and Karl came up under Calvin Colby, but it is unknown whether Calvin is the same boss they have mentioned previously. During Calvin's yacht party, Karl tells Erica that Gabe is onto them, and says that they need to talk to Judge Ritter about how to proceed.
