Robert Hamilton

Early Life
Robert Hamilton was the husband of Carol Hamilton and father of Alice. He was not known to be a terribly punctual man, he always wore a watch, but it notably did not keep very good time. He was a good father and he and Alice were close when she was young. He referred to her by the pet name, "Jellybean", and they often spent time together on the weekends at the movies or feeding the ducks at the park. When their cat, Dinah, was hit by a car, Alice remembers him holding her for hours while she cried.

Adventures in Wonderland
When Alice was ten, he was abducted from his home and taken to Wonderland by The White Rabbit. There he was "adjusted" to be The Carpenter and work as a scientist along side The Walrus in The Happy Hearts Casino where he distills the emotions of Oysters for The Queen of Hearts to use as drugs to placate and control her subjects.

He uses bio-molecular transdistropia to resurrect the assassin, Mad March, on orders from The Queen, delivered to him by The Ten of Clubs, in spite of the fact that March is missing his head. Since replacing his head would take weeks and he had such little time he replaced it with a porcelain rabbit head cookie jar filled with robotics. Later Carpenter is abducted by the revolution and taken to meet the Caterpillar, Jack, and Alice on the roof of The Hospital of Dreams to try and jog his memory of his real life. Their plan has little success at first, but after witnessing Alice waking up the Oysters from their dream like state in the casino he remembers his past and goes to help her. Unfortunately as Alice and Robert rekindle their relationship the Walrus comes arrives and attempts to shoot Alice. To protect his daughter, Robert moves in front of the bullet. The Walrus is shot and killed by Hatter, but there is nothing that can be done to save Robert. Alice sits with her father and as he dies, he tells her he is proud of her. After his death, Hatter drags a distraught Alice away, leaving his body in the collapsing Casino.
