Carl Cotton I

Carl Cotton I (T.A. 2863 - T.A. 2912) is a brave Hobbit of the Shire and a member of the Cotton clan that lived in the village of Bywater. The second son of Cottar, Carl was the younger brother of Cotman Hlothram. When the Fell Winter began to take shape, Carl noticed that food was running short and feared that many hobbits would die. With a number of hobbits at his side, Carl embraced the long cold winter and used his tool kits to break the ice from lakes and take fish. He had also chopped a lot of wood to make a lot of fireplaces for many of the hobbit homes in the Shire. The Hobbits of the Shire saw Carl as a great noble hero and some decided to follow his traits to help their own family members. For many months, Carl continued to supply as much fish and wood, but that he and several of his fellow lumberjacks were attacked by White Wolves that had crossed the frozen Brandywine River.
