==Biography==
===Prior to 2020: Life before Emmerdale===
Born on the 6th April 1973. In the 1990s Charles met and married Esme, the couple later had their first born Ethan. In Ethan's early years Esme developed post natal depression, due to Charles' work commitments he didn't notice the extremity of Esme's behaviour this was also due to a lack of awareness of pnd in the 90's. Due to her PND Esme acted cold shutting Charles out and he mistook this for her not loving him anymore and he partook in an affair with a woman called Tasha. Esme found out she was pregnant for a second time and due to a lack of support in her marriage she left without telling Charles about her pregnancy, leaving Ethan heartbroken. Esme later got in touch to meet up with Charles and Ethan, however she never showed up, so Charles, not wanting to let his son get hurt again cut all ties with her.
Sometime in the 2000s Charles began a relationship with a woman called Saira, who became a stable mother figure to Ethan. Saira and Charles planned for an elaborate wedding together, however on the morning of the wedding Charles and Ethan were left heartbroken yet again when Saira never showed up. In the aftermath of Saira's departure Ethan suffered greatly and Charles got into major debt over the cost of the failed wedding. Charles later turned to God and became a vicar.
