Population
Carlos: The cook at the Kettleman City orphanage during the time that Jason was an orphan. He is not mentioned by Flora Anne. It is unknown whether he is another orphan or merely a resident who works there.

Rex: One of the orphans who lived in Kettleman City at the same time as Jason. He had a bout of flu at the same time as Sugar, one of the last two to recover. It may be presumed he is close to Jason's age at the time of Orphan Quest because in the second chapter of Orphan Quest, Rex is mentioned in relation to being taught by the 'older kids'.
