The Gentleman

Charles Maximillion, more widely known and recognized as "The Gentleman", is the richest and most influential being on Earth during the time of the story. Having been alive since the Civil War, the Gentleman was aided by unknown means in becoming the world's richest and most powerful man, secretly running governments all over the world and improving Human conditions in secret, only allowing certain technologies and vaccines to be made publically known as he saw fit, allowing humanity to gradually grow and develope along the paths he desired.

For the first arc of the storyline, the Gentleman remains, undisputably, the prime Antagonist. Because of him, a few people are subjected to horrible experiments and torturous tests in order to benefit the whole of humankind. Such people have devoted their entire lives into taking down the Gentleman's puppeteering of the planet they lived on. For although the man claims his goal is to ensure Human survival and prosperity, that is a ruse to get his minions to comply with his wishes. In truth, Charles wishes to prove that mankind is capable of usurping God by doing so himself and enhancing his own physical and mental conditions to the point that he escapes the needs of a body and becomes God itself.

Appearance
Charles has short, low-cut brown hair and was born with dark, determined brown eyes. Upon becoming a cyborg, he replaced his failing Human eyes with cybernetic ones that appear a glowing yellow or gold with the gear-like machinations inside showing upon close inspection. His face has wrinkled with age and he keeps his appearance this way to look in his mid-forties. Often, he wears a tuxedo or business suit of some kind to look dignified and respectable.

Personality
Charles was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia in 1847, thus making him 18 years old when Richmond was sacked during the Civil War. Before the attack, he was very dutiful to his father and the cause of the Confederacy. The tragedies that befell had a very hard impact on his life afterward, though he became more resolute and ambitious as well. After the war, he went on to secretly control all governments across the globe.

As the Gentleman, Charles became very manipulative and resourceful, seeing humans and resources as one and the same. Everything became calculated code in his mind, and all things on Earth and beyond were to be used to further his goals and ambitions.
