Charles Wellington

**Charles Wellington**, officially **Wellington Robotics Android #1**, is the first android built by Andrew Wellington, and one of two that survived to the present day, the other being Chris Wellington. Unlike Chris, Charles lacks sentience and is unable to override his core programming. He is a supporting character who first appears in Season Two, when Dexter Wellington reprograms him to help the Search Party locate the Port City Eight.

## Appearance

Charles appears to be a tall young man with pale skin, brown eyes, and combed-back red hair. He wears a black and blue full-body jumpsuit with the Wellington Robotics logo on it. Physically, he appears to be eighteen years old and bears a resemblance to his mechanical brother, Chris.

## Personality

Due to not having emotions, Charles' personality is hard to describe and depends entirely on the effects of his programming, although in all cases, he has been able to help people and is remarkably intelligent, as those are his core traits.

At first, he provided a friendly ear for his creator, later working towards a primary objective, which granted him leadership and determination skills, but also aggression. Sometime later, this was removed, and he was given handiwork skills instead.

When the Search Party met Charles, they were able to restore his determination skills, although this time for good causes, allowing for more positive behavior than he had displayed in the past.

## Biography

### Background

Andrew Wellington's first successful creation, Charles was initially programmed with no specific goals in mind, though he was later reprogrammed to annihilate the majority of Alchemilia Corporation when Andrew felt they were the reason for the failure of his own life. Andrew knew that he did not want Charles targeting innocent civilians, so he installed a memory failsafe inside of Charles' head. Charles would occasionally receive programming upgrades from Andrew, especially for times when Andrew had to leave. However, as he opened a factory to make the androids, Andrew forgot this objective and left Charles alone with the rest of his original group of androids. It would only be a series of unfortunate incidents in his life that would finally change Andrew's mind.

When Andrew returned to his original nine for the first time in a few years, he found his laboratory in chaos from not being able to monitor the android combat training. Even worse, Chris, the physically youngest android, had been incapacitated by Charles. Andrew decided to alter Charles' programming so he would be forced to clean the Wellington Robotics Factory as punishment and later dismissed Charles from his service. Afterward, Andrew rebuilt Chris, this time with new components and emotions, to serve as a model for future androids he created.

During his years working in the Wellington Robotics Factory, Charles rarely received any visitors, aside from looters and squatters.

## Abilities

Charles lacks both Chris' sentience and his sensory perception, as Chris is a later-model android. He does, however, have greatly enhanced strength and can run at exceptional speeds. In the past, Charles was equipped with weapons, but they were removed upon his banishment. Due to the centuries he has spent cleaning the Wellington Robotics Factory, a few of his abilities have begun to fade, as his creator never found a way to make them permanent.
