Charles Evenson

Charles Evenson was born in the late 1800s. He married Esme Platt when she was 22. He was a very abusive husband. He was drafted as a soldier in World War I, only to return in 1918, much to his wife's dismay, as he was a violent and unpredictable man. Esme left Charles in 1920 after discovering she was pregnant, not wanting her child to be raised in such a hostile environment. Presumably, Charles never knew of his son's existence, or of his death shortly after birth. Also then, he most likely never knew about his wife's suicide attempt or her subsequent change into a vampire by the man who would later become a better husband for Esme, Carlisle Cullen.
