No! Stop right there! If you're just here to make unfounded accusations, then you can leave my school right now!
―Uhl to Bertha Flanagan[src]

Karl Uhl (who prefers to be called Señor Uhl) is a supporting character in the Tales of Arcadia franchise.

He is the Spanish teacher (despite being Austrian) and the current interim principal of Arcadia Oaks High after Strickler's resignation and Levit's "indefinite leave of absence".

History[]

Backstory[]

How he found a career is unknown, but he seems to be well-travelled. He is Austrian.

Trollhunters (Part One)[]

Trollhunters (Part Two)[]

Trollhunters (Part Three)[]

3Below (Part One)[]

3Below (Part Two)[]

Physical Description[]

He is a large man, square-jawed and neat, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He tends to wear professional attire.

Personality[]

Señor Uhl is as unforgiving as he is clueless. Though it is often with a great error that students say that he is a heartless monster of a teacher, he sports the basic support for his school and for his town, and he genuinely cares about the needs and educational experience of his students. The only strange thing about him is his rather strong bond with his... pick-up truck?

However, in 3Below, despite his seemingly lack of emotion, he shows that he is able to display a more humane side. He sympathizes with Aja and Krel when they tell him that they had escaped the chaos of a coup in their "home country" of Cantaloupia, vowing that Arcadia Oaks High will be a haven for them until they can return home. He defends them against Birdie, the special advisor of the school board, when she suggests that they be removed from the school due to being 'illegal aliens,' protesting against micro-aggressions and stating that they 'do not use that word [illegal].' Even discovering that Aja and Krel were aliens, he still supported them and refused to let Kubritz take them away.

Powers & Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Gravesand-Induced State (briefly): After unintentionally drinking Gravesand, it amplified Uhl's feral instincts ten-fold, thus making him more stronger and aggressive. Luckily, albeit with a lot of struggle since he barely had any emotional attachments, Toby manages to break him free from his feral curse by reminding him of his favorite truck, Susannah.
    • Superhuman Strength: Uhl was able to knock several desks with little problems, nearly strangled Toby with a chair, and even lift two boys (one fat) like nothing.
    • Superhuman Durability: When he hit himself against a wall, he was barely fazed from the impact.
    • Superhuman Flexibility: Similar to Draal's own ability, he was able to roll himself into a ball and knock almost anything in his path, which Toby took note of.

Abilities[]

  • Multilingual: Uhl is heard speaking English and Spanish, though given the fact that he's Austrian, he can fluently speak his native German language as well.

Weaknesses[]

  • Mortality: As a human, Señor Uhl possesses a mortal body, so is therefore highly vulnerable to any forms of injuries, sicknesses, and death.
  • Metal: Uhl receives serious allergic reactions to metal, including Gaggletacks.

Equipment[]

Although many have overlooked his pick up truck, it being mostly used for gags and generally comical scenes, it is still a very functional motorized vehicle that can be used as a weapon. Uhl uses his truck as a weapon during the Eternal Night, carrying Coach Lawrence and Ms. Janeth (who are wielding baseball bats and other equipment) around in a violent frenzy. On top of that Uhl's truck can be used for simply ramming into the Gumm-Gumms.

Relationships[]

Romances[]

Susannah[]

In the tie-in novel The Book of Ga-Huel set during the events of Part Two of Trollhunters, Senor Uhl is revealed to have a long-distance girlfriend by the name of Susannah. He had apparently met her in Barcelona while finishing his studies. The episode Airheads from Part 1 of Trollhunters reveals that his truck is also named Susannah, likely named in affection after her. It is unknown if their relationship is still ongoing during the events of 3Below given his affections for Lenora Janeth.

Lenora Janeth[]

Uhl and Janeth seem to have a professional relationship as staff members.

In Part Two of 3Below, it can be assumed that Uhl has a crush on Janeth, yet she appears to always be oblivious to his affection. He then reveals that he truely does have romantic feelings for her, yet Lenora (despite being directly confessed to) is still oblivious.

Friends/Allies[]

Coach Lawrence[]

Uhl and the coach seem to get along well.

Students[]

Jim Lake Jr.[]

Uhl used to have a neutral view on Jim. However, when he begins his double-life as a Trollhunter, he begins showing up for class late, which Uhl does not tolerate.

Despite viewing Jim more as a troublemaker, he did show ounces of concern when Jim gives out his Spanish presentation yet appeared distracted (as he was being attacked by Gnome Chompsky) in "Gnome Your Enemy".

Toby Domzalski[]

Like Jim, Uhl initially sees Toby as a troublemaker.

Aja and Krel Tarron[]

At first, Uhl saw Aja and Krel as troublemakers, but when Aja explains that they came to Arcadia because their "home country" got caught in a coup, he shows them compassion and vows to make Arcadia Oaks High a safe haven for them. He supports this vow by continually defending them against any forms of xenophobia, most notably shown in "Flying the Coop".

Even after he discovered the Tarrons are literal aliens, Uhl still protected them from Kubritz's outrageous accusations and claimed that they belonged in Arcadia, even if they weren't from Earth (or even human).

Enemies[]

Bertha "Birde" Flanagan[]

Señor Uhl seems to have a mutual yet rocky relationship with Bertha Flanagan. He became incensed at her attempt to remove Aja and Krel on xenophobic grounds, and she threatens his job in response. Uhl was pleased when she disappeared, unaware that she was an alien sent to kill Aja and Krel and was killed by Varvatos.

Trivia[]

  • In "Flying the Coop," it is revealed that Señor Uhl's first name is Karl, which is of German origin, indicating he is one of the german-speaking austrians.
  • As revealed in The Book of Ga-Huel, Uhl is highly allergic to metal, including gaggletacks (which is why he coats his car keys with clear nail polish so they don't make physical contact with his skin).
    • It's also revealed that he had a long-distance girlfriend in Spain named Susanna (which would explain his bond with his pick up truck which he calls Susanna). In 3Below, however, he admits to being attracted to Miss Janeth, which implies that he and Susanna may have broken up.
    • It is also possible something happened to Susanna due to a statement by Señor Uhl that bad things happen to people he gets close to.
