Carlos is one of Jen’s friends in the secret chat room for shadow children. He lives somewhere warm, as he complains about having to suffer in 105°F heat when Luke first meets Jen in early winter. Carlos initially thinks Jen’s rally is silly, but he eventually comes around and helps her plan it. It’s never specified if he attends the rally.
