==Appearance==
Charles is a tall, middle-aged man with dark brown hair, beard and mustache, and a rather strong frame. He wears Ganymede officials' uniform.
==Personality==
Charles is wise and always seeks to defend Ganymede from outside forces. He's also a genius who can create giant robots and inventions in general. It's him who personally chooses Shinji to be the Bismarck team's leader, and acts as their mentor throughout the war. Most notably, he is a good father to Marianne, contacting her to wish her best lucks many times whenever she is away with the team, and even wishing her a Merry Christmas on Christmas. Being a well-respected politician, he's always fair to his people and never mistreats them.
Charles is also a pacifist, willingly welcoming the Deathcula should they chose to stop the invasion. However, he isn't naive despite this, as at the end of the series, when the Deathcula trick the Earth Federation Government into signing a peace accord and allowing them to settle on Mars alongside the human colonists who are already there, Charles has prepared a second Bismarck just in case they go back on the deal, which they do.
==History==
Charles is a scientist on Ganymede and a well-respected politician. At some point in his life, he fathered Marianne, who would eventually become his assisstant and engineer. Marianne also befriended Shinji Hikari, the son of the pilot Shinjiro Hikari.
In 2084, the Deathcula launch a second invasion on the Solar System, attacking the colonies and killing many colonists without provocation. The Earth Federation Government fight them but are hopelessly outmatched due to their advanced technology. As a result, Marianne calls on the colonies to join the Federation, while Charles decides to develop the transformable starship Bismarck in order to combat them, with Marianne engineering it.
Knowing that a team of specialists is required to pilot it, Charles summons Shinji, Bill Willcox and Richard Lancelot to create the Bismarck team, with Shinji as the leader. During the meeting between the colony leaders, Marianne is also chosen to join the team, much to Charles' pleasure. From then on, he provides multiple helps for them from behind the scenes.
