Charles


 * For Esme's former husband, see Charles Evenson.

Charles is a Danish nomadic vampire, who is mated with his creator, Makenna.

History
Charles was a law student in Barcelona when he met Makenna, and they fell in love. After some time, Makenna told Charles that the unusual characteristics of her family and that she was approaching some big changes. Charles said he would be there through anything. Makenna told him she had to leave for a while, but would come back. If Charles wanted to wait, he could. If not, she would understand. When she returned more than one year later as a vampire, Charles was still waiting. After hashing through all the pros and cons together, Charles decided to join her. They waited three years so Makenna would be able to keep from killing him, and then he was successfully transformed.

They live nomadically for the most part, but Makenna still visits her family often. Sometime during their travels, they came across another nomad named Garrett.

Breaking Dawn
He and Makenna first appear in book three of Breaking Dawn, when they come to Forks to witness for the Volturi. Charles does not agree with it after confirming the Cullens are innocent and leaves shortly afterwards with his mate.

Physical appearance
Charles is thin but muscular, standing 6'0" tall, and has dark blond hair.

Lie detection
"It is not what I see, but what I feel. Garrett said they have ways of knowing lies. I, too, know when I am hearing the truth, and when I am not."

- Charles

Charles has a talent for sensing if someone is telling lies. This gift is similar to Maggie's ability to detect if someone is lying, though it seems to be weaker than hers.
