Carter

Carter Pewterschmidt (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) is Lois Griffin's father and also a billionaire industrialist, shipping mogul, and owner of several major companies. His company in the episode "Business Guy" is named Pewterschmidt Industry, and he is also a member of what is probably the New York Yacht Club whose clubhouse is located in Newport, Rhode Island. He is shown to be friends with other powerful people such as Michael Eisner and Bill Gates yet has problems with Ted Turner. Carter serves as one of the antagonists to the series. He is a domineering and rather devious man who hates Peter passionately and throws frequent and cruel barbs towards him, and is usually involved on various plots or scams to embarrass and/or cause Peter pain, even if it causes Lois and the children to suffer as well. On rare occasions, though, he and Peter share a friendship and work together, normally with a common goal. He loves Lois but sometimes does not listen to her and tries to boss her around. He is married to Barbara Pewterschmidt, with whom he had three children – Lois, Carol, and Patrick. In the episode "No Chris Left Behind," he is a member of the Skull and Bones and also slightly admires Chris. It is revealed in "Welcome Back, Carter" that he is an Allied officer. In this episode, he cheated on his wife, Barbara. Peter found out and blackmailed him before accidentallly telling Barbara. She left him and, with persuasion from Peter, he entered the dating scene. He discovered he only wanted Babs and convinced her to take him back. In Laugh It Up, Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy he plays both Owen Lars and Emperor Palpatine.
