Charles Calvin

**Charles "Charlie" Calvin** is the deuteragonist of the Henry Stickmin series. A bold action man, he is a veteran helicopter pilot who works for the Government, and one of the youngest and most experienced pilots. Although he is an experienced pilot, Charles has a history of hilariously failing to assist Henry Stickmin, most famously when he crashes his helicopter in two fails.

Charles meets Henry for the first time after General Hubert Galeforce asks for his assistance in bringing down the notorious Toppat Clan. After completing his mission for the Government or helping Henry escape The Wall, Charles is tasked to defeat the Toppat Clan and prevent them from launching their orbital station space.

## Appearance

Throughout all his appearances, Charles wears a red headset and has red shoes. His headset suffered damage in "Valiant Hero" due to Charles crashing into the Toppat Orbital Station.

He has never been seen without his red headset. The headset has been shown to be a versatile communications device; able to call in reinforcements and communicate directly with phones.

## Personality

Charles is a young and experienced competent pilot for the Government. In the Triple Threat route, he is able to stop his chopper mid-flight so the rotor blades don't chop up Henry and Ellie as they leave the sabotaged rocket. This is an incredibly difficult maneuver to pull off and he does it easily.

Because of his abilities as a pilot, General Galeforce seems to always trust him with missions despite his history of hilariously failing to assist Henry, most famously when he crashes his helicopter in two fails. Despite his silliness and accident-prone tendencies, Charles is easily one of the more noble characters in the series, and is even willing to sacrifice himself for his allies as shown in the Valiant Hero route.

Charles has a tendency to try and make small talk and stumble his words which shows that he's more sociable than Henry and much more nonchalant about missions despite the known severity of them. He also has plenty of background knowledge on Government weapons and other such tools.

If Henry sides with the Government, Charles shows complete confidence and trust in Henry in any missions they team up in, showing how loyal he is to a close friend. He is also shown to take things literally at times, demonstrated when he shut the power off the Airship when asked, without realizing the airship needs power to fly.

Charles is also able to remain calm in stressful or dangerous situations, keeping his composure and not sounding worried. A good example of this is in the Special BROvert Ops route, where he loses control of his helicopter while trying to snipe someone, and doesn't sound panicked in the slightest while trying to regain control; Henry actually looks more worried than Charles sounds. Charles is also very optimistic as seen in the Valiant Hero ending, where he assures Henry that he will find a way out of the Toppat Orbital Station, which is about to explode.

Charles is amiable, sociable, half-witted yet intelligent, and an above average pilot who firmly sticks with his side, but does have a more open mind considering he put his faith in Henry in the Pardoned Pals route despite Henry going rogue and stealing the Romanian Ruby, and gave Henry a chance to side with him over joining the Toppats or surrendering to the Wall.
