Mortal history
Charles was born in 1771 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Charles' family wished that he become a surgeon, so he attended the University of Pavia Medical School in Northern Italy. With his medical degree and surgeon internship complete, Charles returned to Rotterdam in 1707 after establishing many friendships among the social and medical elite in Italy and its surrounding countries.
Due to the growing unrest in the Netherlands due to military incursions from England and France, Charles moved to America in 1810, a few years prior to the War of 1812. Recognizing a chance to get back at England, Charles joined the American Military hoping to put his surgical skills to good use. Unfortunately, the Americans needed armed soldiers, so he was handed a musket and assigned to an infantry battalion in Fort Hawkins, Georgia. Charles carried a basic medical kit with his equipment and helped with the American casualties when it was possible. Charles participated in the Battle of New Orleans, which was fought on January 8th, 1815, eighteen days after the Treaty of Ghent was signed, which formally ended the war.
Following the war, Charles decided to relocate to New Orleans and acquired a position as a surgeon at Charity Hospital. The many images of the battlefields in the war, as well as conversations he had in Italy, made him realize that there were supernatural forces at work in the world. Charles began conducting research while becoming a well-known surgeon in the city. One night in 1822, Charles received a strange message from a woman claiming to possess the knowledge he sought. This meeting would change his life forever...
Ventrue History
After his embrace in 1822, Charles could no longer practice traditional medicine, but managed to remain as a consultant at Charity Hospital. Fortunately, he was called upon to operate on a few special cases. During this time, Charles was taught that money was king, so he began investing in hospitals in the city and slowly amassed quite a fortune.
In 1831, Charles was released by his sire earning back the freedom he desired. Realizing that he wasn't appearing any older, Charles began amassing contacts in the mortal world and continued making money discretely while convincing his associates at the hospital that he became a recluse.
