- Thoughtful & Patient; Though Charles is a relatively young man in his late 20's when he's with the gang, he comes across as wise far beyond his years. His personal history has been tough, and he's a half Black half Native American man just trying to make it through in the tail end of American expansionism. It's exhausting, yes, but he still approaches his interactions in good faith and talks patiently about his experience so far.
- Self-sufficient; Despite expressing deep gratitude at being accepted into Van Der Linde gang, Charles still seems to be on his own journey. He likely never felt like he fully belonged anywhere. Even in his childhood when he was safe, living with his mother's people, the fact that he was only half-Native probably made him feel an innate otherness that he carried throughout his life. When his mother was taken away and he left his alcoholic father behind, he entered a world that was predisposed to hating him twice over, so he had to be on guard even more than your typical teenager who sets off to live on their own. By the time he meets Arthur and the gang it's not necessarily a wall; more an inherent sense that he's different and needs to take care of himself.
- Rageful; Sometimes Charles gets mad, and when that happens he burns very hot. There's a mission in the game where he and Arthur discover that someone's been hunting bison for sport. Charles became so angry that he ran off to track down the hunters and killed one before Arthur could even catch up, and then he passionately told Arthur to kill the other. He was ready to take revenge for the bison and he's disappointed if Arthur chooses not to.
- Strong; Charles is physically strong, but he's also perhaps the most mentally strong characters in the game. He's willing to call out injustice without hesitation even if it might jeopardize his safety. He's willing to fight for the underdog even when he knows it's a losing battle. He may act out of anger but he never acts out of fear; he'd rather face the truth. This also manifests as his courageousness and selflessness when he puts himself in harms way to help the gang and to help the Wapiti Tribe who are being targeted by the American government in the latter half of the game.
- Gracious & Helpful; Charles is also very grateful for the good things that come into his life. He was on his own, in pure survival mode, for his teens and adolescence and he came away from those hard years with an appreciation for how truly bad it can be. He even chastises Javier for complaining about the camp stew, which definitely doesn't taste good. On the other side of that coin, he never hesitates to help someone he cares about. He literally helps his friend build a house from the ground up because why not?
- Hunting; Charles is one of the better hunters in the gang, primarily because of his tracking skills and general knowledge of wildlife. He's a decent enough marksman, better with a bow than most, but his real secret is his familiarity with the land and his observational skills.
- Fighting; Charles is just a big dude. He's a natural brawler with his broad frame and he has the skill and toughness to back it up. Having lived a pretty tough life he can take a punch just as well as he can give one too.
- General Cowboy Skills; Having run with the gang and growing up in the age of cowboys, Charles knows how to ride a horse and shoot a revolver with better than average proficiency.
- A tomahawk
- Bow and arrows
- A revolver
- A rifle
- The clothes he was travelling north with at the end of the game.
- Some travelling supplies, likely some rations, a compass and maps along with a handful of money to pick up more supplies along the way.

Suitability:
- It's going to be a transition for sure. Charles is coming from the early 20th century without any personal experience with paranormal or magical shit, and very little experience with proper "civilization" let alone any advanced technology. He's used to living off the land.
He is however, a natural fit when it comes to protecting those who need it, and in seeking out honest connections with other people. He genuinely cares about the inherent goodness and kindness that he sees in others. He's also very adaptable. He'll learn how to use his gem-related abilities to learn more about the world and protect the natives if he needs to.
Condition upon arrival: Alive and healthy.

Inventory:
Gembond: Amethyst
Gem Location: High on his chest, an inch or two below the dip in his clavicle.
