James Carson

Commander James Carson is a major character in the Disney animated film Devil Dinosaur. Before the main events of the film, he & his crew managed to get hold of the Ica Stones before an expedition to Peru.

Personality
As a leader, Commander Carson is well-focused, reliable, & down-to-earth. Of course, he is also driven by his avarice, & thus he will go to great measures to get what he wants, even showing little or no qualms against putting innocent lives in danger.

He is also shown to be stubborn, self-centered, & domineering towards his crew. And yet despite this, Commander Carson cares about his crew, & he especially has a strong relationship with Linus.

Physical appearance
He bears a strong resemblance to Nick Fury, as he was originally depicted in his first appearance in Marvel Comics. He wears an eyepatch on his right eye, not because he lost or injured his eye, but mainly because he thinks "eyepatches are cool".

Trivia

 * Commander Carson's character is similar to that of Commander Rourke, the main antagonist from the 2001 animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire, as the two happen to be mercenaries who are willing to go to extreme measures to become rich. The only difference is that Carson later realized the error of his ways while Rourke's lust for riches led him to his downfall.
 * Commander Carson told Linus that he knew his estranged father. Of course, there is a possibility that Carson is, in fact, his father.
