Appearance:

Personality:

Charles comes across as childish and disrespectful, best shown when he tries to sneak away during Loki's lectures and, when called out, covers his ears. He seems to show little to no interest in learning the concepts and frameworks behind soccer, and prefers to "play it by ear" instead. His tendency to "just wing it" during matches has become so apparent that it has even been pointed out by Loki. Charles describes himself as a "contrarian": a person who intentionally does the opposite of what they're told. Charles also seems to be a big risk-taker, as he is willing to go for extremely bold passes and maneuvers, even in very high-stakes soccer matches, such as the match against Bastard München. During said match, he wildly and instinctively passes the ball to Ryusei Shido, without actually knowing that he would be there to respond to the pass. This "contrarian pass" by Charles, along with Shido's "pursuit of pleasure", ends up leading to a goal for Paris X Gen. According to Yoichi Isagi, this maneuver only worked out because Charles had a visualization of the "ultimate play" that was brought about by his peak performance and egoistic mindset.

Abilities 1:

Archetype Playmaker: Playmakers are players with the ability to generate goals for their team by taking advantage of their excellent vision, reading of the game and ability to pass the ball, whether to the wings or forwards. Charles is considered the heart of PXG, because his passing is the means by which his team is able to score so many goals. Unlike most players who go for straight forward passes, Charles loves to do risky passes that no one in their right mind would attempt. Whether the offensive focuses on players like Rin Itoshi or Ryusei Shido, Charles is able to adjust and adapt his play style to assist any striker. Even a world star like Julian Loki considers Charles and his passing as a necessary partner in order to become the best player in the world. Skills Passing Accuracy: Charles is capable of making high-speed, precise passes that most players are unable to reach. By knowing the virtues and tendencies of his teammates, he is able to adjust to a point where it seems impossible to reach the ball, which only top-level players like Shido would reach. He can also calculate the movement times of his teammates so that they are able to receive his passes more comfortably. Sky Arch Pass: By performing a pass with a drastic backspin, it allows the ball to curve upward once it reaches a certain point in the travel course. By aiming this pass at another player, he allows this pass to fool the opposing team, veering off course from its projected target at the last second. Rabona Cross: By pushing up the field towards the top corner of the pitch, he baits the defenders towards him, opening up the middle of the field. He then preforms a Rabona Chip with such power, it launches into the air towards an incoming striker.

Abilities 2:

Metavision: A term used to describe a player's evolved vision that gives him an omnipotent perspective of the field. Using his eyes to constantly capture information from his central and peripheral vision, Charles constantly collects data about every player, every play they make, and their positions on the field.

His given name, Charles, means "free man". His surname, Chevalier, means "knight
