Overview[]
Charles Tesla is the great-grandson of Nikola Tesla, a famous Serbian-American engineer, futurist, and inventor. His great-grandfather not only contributed to providing the world with free energy but also aided Vitali Romanov in defeating the United India Company alongside Abraham Van Helsing by equipping them with powerful advanced weapons to combat the lycans and vampires. While Charles himself was very brilliant his father was very cold and distant with him, leading to a strained relationship although much later Charles discovered that his father admitted to Nicholas Romanov that he was secretly proud of his son.
Charles grew up alongside Ivan Romanov developing a close friendship with the young heir and after his father's death filled his position as the Order's intelligence specialist, researcher, and inventor following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather. He provides information to the pack and his boss Ivan regarding what kind of enemy they face, what weapons would be suited to take down said enemy, and the location of an attack.
Personality[]
Charles is portrayed as a lively and upbeat individual, often excited when preparing to show off a weapon to the pack, moreso towards guests like Dante and his crew when allying with the organization, and revealing information in regards to what sort of enemy the pack is about to face on their mission. Outside of his work, Charles can be slightly shy and is not good with social interaction since he spent most of his life turning his room into a laboratory. He can also at times be a bit of a slob as his station can be seen littered with junk food.
Charles frequently delivered exposition whenever he would perform an autopsy on a slain creature brought in by the pack and was often portrayed as somewhat of a "straight man" and his "stuffy Oxford sensibilities" in Egor's words served as a counterpoint to the band of colorful werewolves among Miguel's pack. These personality traits were also in stark contrast to Ivan's own fiery character leading to the Romanov teasing him on a regular basis. Deep down, however, Charles can be paranoid and full of anxiety, intensely focusing on his work so as to keep his loved ones safe which only increased when Immanuel revealed to the Dark Knight Initiative of the Illuminati's true goal to bring about a New World Order; releasing Lucifer from his tomb. He only revealed this to Chiquita when they were staying at a hotel in Singapore.
Beneath it all, Charles was very caring and empathetic towards others, so much so that the pack have been shown to be quite protective of him, especially Chiquita and Beth; he was very welcoming towards Beth when she was newly installed into the pack and kept Chiquita company when she was first detained by the Order. In fact, it is often believed that Charles and his father were one of the reasons as to why Ivan and his predecessors allowed Miguel to take in new wolves. The pack, while highly formidable and powerful, rely on Charles for his expertise in certain zoological fields and joyously use the weapons he provides for them. Miguel once stated to Beth that, barring Ivan, Charles is what made him and his pack see some good in humans. Ivan himself admitted that Charles is the closest thing he has to a brother since he is an only child and this friendship is so deep to where he even asked him if he could be Joseph's godfather.
