### Horror Neighborhood (Ice Scream 1, 2 and 3)

Charlie is J.'s best friend and Lis' brother. In Ice Scream 1: Horror Neighborhood, J. sees Charlie going near Rod's van for ice cream when Rod greets him in a friendly manner. However, Rod suddenly grabs Charlie, freezes him using liquid nitrogen that was stored in his mask, and cages him in his van, thus making him the first victim of Rod seen in the game franchise. J. witnesses the whole event and manages to rescue Charlie who clapped his hands in joy and gives J. a blender that he got in Rod's van.

In Ice Scream 2, Charlie can be seen inside a comic book store called Dungeon Comics in the Circus, wearing a paper crown and holding a Ball Gun. When you try to enter the store, a message will appear on the screen on the game "Hey you! Only those who have a special pass can enter here. Identify yourself!". When you get the special pass which is in one of the dustbins in the Circus, Charlie will welcome you in the store. When you interact with him, he will call himself the king and claims that no one can exceed his record which he was talking about an arcade game called *'Runner Pillar'* and has a total score of 350 points. When you manage to surpass Charlie's record, Charlie will be looking at you in disbelief before finally accepting defeat and gives J. his special Ball Gun which can be used to knock out Rod. In the end of Ice Scream 2, when J. manages to save Lis but the latter stays in the van in the fear that she would injure herself trying to jump out of a moving van. When Rod's van reaches the Circus, Mike spots the van first before alerting Charlie. Over seeing a terrified Lis standing on the van, Charlie stood there dumbfounded wondering how Lis was captured by Rod not long after getting captured himself.

In Ice Scream 3, Charlie could be seen hiding in a box on the terrace of a house in the Circus. Over seeing J., he would start interrogating about what happened to Lis and how she manages to end up in Rod's truck while demanding an explanation. Once J. explains to Charlie and manages to convince him to come and hide in Rod's van so that they can escape together after freeing Mike from his cage, Charlie would agree to accompany J. to Rod's van. In the end, after J. opens Mike's cage with Charlie and Lis, they all cheer how they all were a great team and reached home safe and sound. However, Rod heard them and froze them again except J. who managed to prevent himself from getting frozen by hiding behind his friends, escapes with the secret ingredient. He later makes himself fat so that he can lure Rod in capturing him so that the ice cream man would take him to his factory where his friends are trapped inside.

### Rod's Factory (Ice Scream 4 and 6)

In Ice Scream 4, Charlie, who is trapped in his cage, can be seen occasionally trying to escape by shaking the cage in a vain attempt to break the cage though most of the time he would be sitting with a defeated look on his face. After J. opens his friends' electrically operative cages with the help of a button in the Control Room, they would be overjoyed over getting free again, Charlie and Lis would hug each other before their celebration was again interrupted by Rod who was now furious at them being free and tries to chase them, only for them to end up jumping in one of the three pipes each that was opened along with their cages.

In Ice Scream 6, J. and Mike manages to locate Charlie in the factory with the help of the cameras that could be seen from the Control Room. It turns out that the pipe that Charlie jumped in led him to the factory's Kitchen. J., with some additional help from Mike helps Charlie poison the ice cream being made in the Kitchen and temporarily knocks out Mati, Rod's robotic head chef, by communicating with him through the phone in a room from the Kitchen. After Charlie reunites with his friends, the boys hug each other in happiness. When J. mentions about rescuing Lis, Charlie hesitantly agrees since he is still afraid of Rod but plays with a stapler as a toy aeroplane in a corner in the Control Room after telling his friends that he had some other 'work' to do. Mike decides to give Charlie some time while J. rolls his eyes before looking through the cameras to look for Lis in the end of the game. (TBC)
