Charles is a very distant individual who prefers time to think by himself or with the few people he has become close with over less thought or creativity-based activities. On a surface level, he is an organized and methodical person, but it becomes clear overtime that he has a far less controlled side to him. A large part of the reason for Charles being so distant is most likely due to his belief that the entire world is contaminated (save for Vincent, whom he idolizes), which is both outright stated by Charles himself and visually implied by how all strangers, his mother, Scarlett, and Anri have all appeared distorted at least once. Despite how thoughtful he is in a logical sense, Charles has some difficulty in understanding certain perspectives that stray too far from his own. This can be seen first and foremost when he attempts to overdose with Anri and is taken aback by her unsettled and insulted reaction. Outside of his general disdain for the world, he also holds a great deal of hatred and criticism towards himself which manifests as Scarlett, who he describes as an "ugly reflection of [himself]." She always appears during his episodes with numerous insults and various ways for Charles to hurt himself under the guise of "betterment" and passing the trial. However, these efforts to prepare for the trial had very little merit to them since Charles killed himself in the end.
