He prides himself on being a nearly stereotypical mobster. He likes to say that he "whacks" people, he is very family oriented, and is in a very workman-like way a snappy dresser (as opposed to the more business like attire of the less physically oriented mob positions). He pokes fun at Carl 3 for being so foppish for a brick thrower, but it's mostly to get respect among the more narrow minded mobsters - for Carl 2 has a secret love of baking. Specifically, baking pies. Specifically, pies in the shapes of pop culture icons, like Elvis and Ronald Regan.
