Little is known about Charles’s early life. Some say he grew up in the barren tundra of Antarctica and was raised by a group of polar bears. Others claim he was the result of a failed genetic experiment by the U.S. government and was left for dead in a back alley of Detroit. Still others believe he swam all the way to Florida from the mythic lost city of Atlantis. What is known is that he appeared in Greensboro around 2002 to pursue a degree in English. Since then he has worked various odd jobs, including an embarrassing stint as stock boy at Hollister as well as an intern writing for Go Triad, sporadically enrolled in classes, and fought back an alien invasion intent on taking over Greensboro in the summer of 2008. Charles’s proudest moment, however, was when he challenged Abraham Lincoln to an arm wrestling contest and won. When not writing about topics ranging from strip clubs and karaoke to filmmaking and painting Charles spends his time drinking at dive bars, bumming cigarettes from friends, and fighting Somalian pirates on the high seas.
