John Carter is an American Civil War veteran. On Earth he was mostly known as Captain Jack Carter of Virginia, and later after his arrival on Barsoom, he was given the name Dotar Sojat by Tars Tarkas (roughly translating into "my right arms"). John Carter appears to be about thirty, but he suspects he is much older than that.
