Charles Waverly was a 20th century British commodore. He was Ian Gilmore's former commanding officer.
His wife Catherine was unable to have children. Charles "volunteered" her for a eugenics programme to create advanced soldiers. The resulting child, Emma, was largely kept away from her. Charles also had a large number of affairs in later years but the Waverlys lived together for appearances.
In early 1965, he attempted to gain control of the Intrusion Countermeasures Group through underhanded means and put his Emma (under an alias) in charge. When Catherine found out what her husband had done to Emma, she killed him. (AUDIO: Manhunt)
