Personality
Charles is absolute, stubborn and always right. His dreams of equality and democracy burn bright in his mind, leaving everything else in their shadow. He believes that ends justify the means and gives little value to the individual and is more than willing to use questionable methods on his quest for freedom. Despite the revolution occupying his thoughts a lot, Charles is capable of socializing with people and shares a strong sense of comradery with those sympathetic to his cause.

Abilities & Proficiencies
Having been tutored by the family's court magician from a young age, Charles is proficient in his family's ancient ways of blood magic. Building on this knowledge he's also self-studied the ways of pyrokinesis, deeming it overall more useful and practical to his way of life.

History
Having been born to Lord Oliver Crowin, second cousin of Lord Seth Crowin, young Charles hails from one of the oldest and most prestigeous families of Steamhaven. He lived a fairly happy childhood, locked away from the unpleasant realities of life and surrounded by money, servants and entertainment. The boy's father was very strict about hammering the importance of family, caste and tradition into his head while his mother tried to teach him about empathy and compassion. He was always a fan of reading and could often be found with a book in his hands.

Charles went on to study law and economics in his mother's home city of Duchold, much to his father's dismay. It is during his years there when he came face to face with the atrocities and injustices his ancestors were responsible for. He became disgusted with his legacy and vowed to right the wrongs of the past with direct action. Student life drove him to more and more radical circles, he took on a false name and began writing columns to a banned newspaper. Charles's fifth year of university was cut short when he heard of a wave of slave uprisings in Steamhaven. Knowing that he might not get another chance, he packed his things and travelled back to his home town, filled with revolutionary fervor and dreams of a new world. He arrived just in time to see the peasant leaders swing and the uprising crushed. But the flame inside him had only just ignited. It would take more to bring justice and equality to this wretched world, but he was ready, and he was confident.
