Carter Pewterschmidt, Family Guy
Voiced by Seth MacFarlane, Carter Pewterschmidt is Lois' wealthy father. He owns U.S. Steel and Pewterschmidt Industries. He is portrayed as the stereotypical conservative billionaire and serves as an antagonist throughout the series. Although not an inventor nor showing a particularly murderous streak, he is often gleefully sadistic, particularly towards his son-in-law Peter.
To him, money, not love, is the secret to happiness, although he briefly reconsiders his stance when he is penniless and Peter is helping him rebuild his fortune before immediately returning to his previous attitude when he returns to wealth. He hates Peter and offered him $1,000,000 if he didn't marry Lois.
Despite the fact that Carter often locks horns with Peter, he treats Meg, Chris and Stewie well as his grandchildren. His own children are treated a little less kindly at times, for example his son Patrick was locked into a mental institution and he refuses to discuss the matter with his other children.
In the parodies two movies in the Star Wars original trilogy that apply, Something, Something, Something, Dark Side and It's A Trap!, Carter assumes the role of Emperor Palpatine. In Blue Harvest, Carter played the role of Owen Lars, having the much simpler lifestyle of a moisture farmer.
