 Steve Carella, who always feels a sense of irony in his dealing with The Deaf Man, since Carella is himself married to a deaf person.Both Carella and The Deaf Man have bullet wounds inflicted by the other, Carella from a shotgun in "The Heckler" and The Deaf Man from Carella's service revolver in "Fuzz".The Deaf Man even had Carella mugged and his badge/police ID stolen in "Let's Hear It For The Deaf Man!
