Vague Age: It's hard to peg how old he is.

Timey-Wimey Ball: In an early mission of Yuri's Revenge he reads an order that won't be issued for a couple months and spends a few moments trying to wrap his mind around that.

It's especially odd since some of his subordinates are three star generals, yet he's ordering them around. He's implied to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or the equivalent of Red Alert universe, yet is only a two star major general. In the penultimate Allied mission in Yuri's Revenge, he takes the role to bring updates as Lieutenant Eva was targeted by Yuri for mind control. He tends to give more of the overall picture, leaving the minutia of the current mission to the lieutenant.

Mission Control: Shares this role with Lt.

''His forces are roaming through the country like an angry bull at a Texas rodeo.'

Large Ham: Issues instructions in a thick Texas accent, and using cowboy terminology with his over-the-top delivery.

Killed Mid-Sentence: He's in the middle of giving you a briefing as he prepares to leave for Berlin when he opens the door where a Crazy Ivan is waiting, detonating his bombs right next to Carville, who hadn't had a chance to notice him.

Guns Akimbo: He has two silver-plated Colt M1911s he carries as his sidearms.

The Ghost: He's never seen in person in the Soviet Campaign, not even through still images, as is only alluded to once during the defense of the Battle Lab in the Ural Mountains.

Early-Bird Cameo: He actually appeared in a Playstation-only expansion for the first Red Alert.

Death Is Cheap: While the core game ends with him being assassinated, Yuri's Revenge hits a Reset Button involving Time Travel.

Character Tic: He's almost constantly chewing a toothpick when he appears in person.

Brainwashed: When Yuri places a Psychic Beacon in Washington, D.C.

He prefers swift, immediate action to deal with the current crisis, and gets frustrated with having to call for help from other nations. With the sole surviving field commander, he ran a campaign to drive the Russians from US soil. He was ordered by President Dugan to launch a full retaliatory nuclear strike, but when the Soviets sabotaged their nuclear arsenal, he was forced to deal with the invasion conventionally. When the Soviet Union invaded the United States, General Carville was the senior officer in command of the military.
