Karl has an older brother named Mark. Mark is about 10 years older than Karl, and could be described as a bit of a tearaway. Karl regularly refers to him as "our kid".

Karl's memories of his brother are not endearing. One incident in particular was when he destroyed Karl's Christmas present of a train set, on Christmas Day, while under intoxicated. This is one of the events that lead to Karl's dislike of Christmas. Other times Mark would bring women into the house while their parents were away. He would barter with Karl to keep silent about it (like letting him ride the tractor through the house).

Mark is infamous in Pilkington Lore for his exploits in the army. Initially, he got out of fighting in the war in the Falklands because his mother called his commanding officer and explained he had only recently joined. Mark's problems in the army worsened when he was discovered to be having an affair with his commanding officer's missus. Eventually he was kicked out for driving a tank down the high street to get a packet of fags.
