He's named after a character in the Discworld series. Carrot Ironfoundersson

Carrot (Captain Carrot of the City Watch) in the books is a dwarf...or rather an adopted dwarf, raised by the dwarf Ironfounder and his wife, after they found hiim wrapped in swaddling clothes accompanied by nothing but a crown shaped birthmark and an apparently magical sword. he is the 'rightful' heir to the throne of Ankh-Morpork

Carrot considers himself a dwarf despite the fact that he is 6 ft 6 '' in his socks and built like a Greek god.

He thinks like a dwarf: in straight lines, simple but not stupid. He is honest, and loyal, and brave, and very literal minded.

So...that gave me an idea: Carrot Pilausson

Pilau's posthumously adopted son :P

Wow. As soon as I saw Carrot, I was thinking 'Corporal Carrot'. Who is dating a female werewolf, making up a very odd K-9 unit.

That's the fellah :P He gets promoted later on to Captain.

And his girlfriend is Angua the werewolf.

Don't go near her when she's having a bad hair day ...
