Charles is the son of Lord Horatio Bellmont, and is the result of an affair his father had with a woman from the Lower Orders.  Consequently, Charles never had an easy relationship with Lady Hilda, nor with his assorted brothers and sisters. He never knew his real mother, who, he is told, is now dead.

Charles is 27, and still isn't sure what he wants to do with life. He's spent the last few years flitting between the family estate and rooms in London. Horatio Bellmont has bent Lindsay Pengellon's ear on the subject of Charles many times in their club, which is perhaps why Pengellon asked Charles to accompany him on the trip to Paris.
