| Where | The line | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Book 1, Ch. 31 | There’s more to it. She was edited out of the scene. She was next to me under the speedbump, but she wasn’t there when they showed it. | The second time Carl hears him speak: Agatha cut from the recap. |
| Book 3, Ch. 3 | I got into a fight with my brother Chris, and he left the party. | Brandon's last message: Chris left, maybe blocked him, and is alive. |
| Book 3, Ch. 8 | He won’t answer us. But I know he’s looking for you. I thought you should know the story before he finds you. | Imani: an igneous race changed him. |

By book
Chris in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
Chris Andrews 2, Brandon's older brother, put in a special school because he would not speak; 'If he says something, you better listen' (ch. 22). He speaks four times in the book: to say 'I liked that show' of The A-Team or MacGyver, never saying which (ch. 26), to notice that Agatha was edited out of the recap (ch. 31), to say Jack really did have a weird-looking dick (ch. 39), and to tell his brother not to be that guy (ch. 40). He casts a five-minute magic spear, pulls the residents' train in a tuskling harness, and is found kneeling with his head down after the slaughter of the tusklings (ch. 27) and again after the collapse (ch. 31).
Chris in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Named once, in Brandon's message from the third floor: the residents with cognitive issues had to pick really weird races to stay viable, and while Brandon stayed human, Chris and Imani did not — nothing more this floor (ch. 8).
Chris in book 3 — The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
An igneous — lava rock, full of holes — and changed by it: he wanted to hunt, wanted to find Carl, fought with his brother and left with men who all died (ch. 8). Would not take Brandon's messages (blocked, Brandon thought); will not answer Imani; alive, and looking for Carl. He walks into the Desperado Club, kills Frank Q at the bar, and walks out banned (ch. 20). Odette starts to say something about him and is muted (epilogue).
