## Appearance

A man was quite young, around 22 or 23 years old. He had short, light-brown hair and a clean-shaven face. His height was over 1.7 meters. However, his unusually short limbs made him appear closer to 1.6 meters.

## History

**Charlie** came to Trier with the intention of making a fortune, but his plans took a turn for the worse when he lost his job and was fired by his manager. Despite his efforts, he struggled to find a new job and eventually depleted his savings. As a result, he found himself starving for five days, desperate for a solution. In his time of need, he turned to a portrait of a lady in his room whom he believed to be Saint Viève and fervently prayed to her. Miraculously, his prayers were answered when his friend found him and provided him with money to alleviate his hunger and Charlie also managed to find a new job.

However, according to the bartender, the portrait that Charlie believed to be Saint Viève was actually Susanna Matisse, one of Trier’s most famous prostitutes.

He was involved in Madame Alice's case as a suspected of murder, but Lumian Lee posing as a lawyer convinced him to reveal the supernatural nature of the murder. He was released not long after by the authorities.

It was revealed that Susanna Matisse was in fact an Evil Spirit, she sought out other targets, infiltrating their dreams and draining their energy. And **Charlie** became her target. Lumian managed to save him through quick thinking and by making use of the Mountsouris Ghost curse that was on Fallen Mercury.

Following this incident, Lumian suggested **Charlie** who lost his new job, because of his involvement in a murder case to work as a waiter at Salle de Bal Brise

Some time later Lumian while in disguise used his abilities as an  to read **Charlie's** fortune and saw extreme danger. He promptly went to seek help from Franca, suspecting Susanna Matisse to be the source of the danger. While Lumian and Franca were in a different place, Rentas, who was Impersonating Lumian at the time, came and led **Charlie** to the Underground Trier. Franca and Lumian promptly gave chase, managing to kill Rentas and save **Charlie**.

Afterward, Angoulême de François came to offer **Charlie** to work as a clerical staff of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun to provide him with enhanced protection. Charlie agreed and moved out from the Auberge du Coq Doré Hotel. In the Inquisition beneath Église Saint-Robert, he had come across Lumian's wanted poster and recognized his friend, yet he didn’t inform the deacon.
