Charles Zoltan

Charles was the leader and senior member of of SIGNET. He owned a toy ferret called Mr Fizzle.

After she joined the organisation, Charles quickly became a kind of surrogate uncle to Aoife Fitzgerald. However, the two sometimes came at odds, in part because Charles was more willing to give threatening aliens the benefit of the doubt than Aoife, at least when she felt that her young daughter Norah was in danger. One instance of this came a few days before Halloween when Norah came under the thrall of a Hervoken, nicknamed "Hervy"; Charles ended up helping Aoife to kill it, but had previously hesitated, something which Aoife resented. When he dropped in on the Fitzgeralds again on Halloween proper to check on Norah's recovery, she told him that she would resign from SIGNET if she ever felt he put her daughter in danger again. Charles was pained by the sentiment, but they nevertheless rekindled their friendship. (PROSE: )
