Charles Jannings

Charles Nolan Jannings is a student at the Kiedis Senior High School. He is 15 years old.

Charles' parents received a divorce early in his life, leaving him separated from his father and brother, whom he saw as a role model over his often abusive father.

Charles is brutish, sarcastic and intolerant of others, and usually displays his bravado through oppression of younger, weaker students. He makes a deadly mistake one day, however, when he racially asperses Chloe Ward, Kishra's deceased mother. Kishra responds by critically wounding Charles with a fork, hospitalizing him for a year and leaving him permanently unable to speak.
