Biography
Charles has chosen Freeport 15 as his home station. Away from crowded trade routes. Almost nobody who's disturbuing the peace there. That is how he likes it.
If you would ask other pilots about Charles, they probably would tell you he's shortspoken, respectable, patient and dutiful. He doesn't like to take rigorous steps, but he draws clear borders because he is used to treat everybody equal. If you trespass these, he may turn into a mercyless and shorttempered pilot.
Just a few persons know Charles is born at Planet Manhattan. A part of his heart is still beating for Liberty, although he tries to avoid to give it a visit. Just like he is avoiding all other houses if possible.
This behaviour is originated from the time he was serving in the Liberty Navy. Crowded systems, enemies behind every corner, lack of diplomacy at all. So after some years he really was tired of this. But what to do? Seemed as there was no way out of his situation.
Somehow you can call it destiny that Charles met John Chrichton during his duty. Charles was curious what this Consortium is about, plus he never met a Zoner before. It wasnt neccessary to think long about what to do next. Charles resigned from the navy and left Liberty behind him.
John aka. Johann Boll introduced him to the Consortium. It didnt need long time for Charles to become familiar with Zoners and their behaviour, in addition he was integrated into the Consortium without prejudice. Since this point of time, Charles knew he has made the right decision.
Beeing now a proud member of the Zoners Consortium and a delegate from the Council of Zoners, Charles gained more and more responsibilities. He archieved his temporary career peak in becoming the commander of a brandnew Aquilion Carrier, the Springfield. A mighty vessel which main function is to protect Omcicron Theta and Omicron 74. The Springfield mainly is docked at a secret location, only in use if absolutely neccessary.
