Charlie was a student of biology at an American university. Despite
his bookish ways, he was also a superb martial artist, and won several U.S.
tournaments before joining the U.S. Air Force. He quickly distinguished
himself and eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant. His best friend
since basic training was Guile, and the two had
great respect for each other.
In 1987, Charlie and Guile were sent on a mission to Cambodia, where
their entire special forces unit was captured by Shadowlaw troops under the
command of M.Bison. The unit became the test
subjects for a violent drug called DOLL, and all other members of the force
ended up killing each other. After several months of imprisonment,
Charlie and Guile finally escaped, but they were seperated during the
perilous trek back to civilization. Charlie arrived back at his base and
told his superiors of Bison's illicit activities. Realizing Bison's threat,
Charlie was sent on a mission to bring in Bison for his crimes. Eager to
bring such an evil man to justice, Charlie left without waiting for any
word on Guile.
Charlie tracked Bison down in Southeast Asia, and confronted him. He
charged Bison with drug trafficking, murder, and other charges too numerous
to count. Underestimating his opponent, Charlie found himself overpowered
by his adversary and was left for dead after a brutal attack from behind.
Charlie survived, and quickly renewed his search for Bison. Several months
later, he discovered that Shadowlaw had moved it's base of operations to
Brazil. He set out for the new base, and found himself once again facing
the man that had slaughtered his entire unit. This time Charlie got the
upper hand, and was just about to defeat the drug lord when he was shot in
the back by a Shadowlaw soldier. He plummeted down the waterfall he and
Bison had been fighting near and was once again presumed dead. Guile, who
after returning to the base had been sent to back Charlie up, arrived in
Brazil after the fight. He found evidence of Shadowlaw activity, but they
had already evacuated the base. He also found Charlie's bloody dogtags at
the top of the waterfall, and swore vengeance against Bison for Charlie's
death.
Incredibly, Charlie was not dead. The gunshot wound had been a mere
graze and he managed to avoid hitting any rocks on his way down the
waterfall. He nontheless was severely injured, and spent several months
recuperating. Deterimined to bring in Bison once and for all, Charlie set
out for Thailand, were it was rumoured Bison was assembling a massive
Psycho Drive to regenerate his powers. This time, he met allies along the
way. An Interpol group led by Chun-Li was
targeting Bison's Thailand base as well, and they quickly accepted Charlie's
help. When they arrived at the base, Charlie recieved a surprise: Guile was
waiting there for them. Both were releived to see that the other was
allright, but Guile had orders to bring Charlie back. Feeling that victory
was finally at hand, Charlie refused, and he and Guile nearly got into a
fight. However, the Interpol forces managed to break inside the base and
the two friends followed them inside. They located the Psycho Drive chamber,
and Charlie set timed explosives near the device. They were about to leave
when Bison returned.
During the battle that followed, Charlie attacked Bison and was fatally
injured. Knowing that he was going to die anyway, Charlie ordered the troops
to evacuate while he held Bison off. The Interpol group had to
drag Guile out and barely escaped before the base exploded. Bison escaped
as well, but his source of power had been destroyed. Charlie had
died a hero attempting to end Bison's threat once and for all.
