So What Happened?

Alright, Charlie was living the good life until Karen McReid finally got one over on him... She dumped him on the doorstep of the Institute and didn't look back. Of course, Karen thought they were going to kill him or at least lock him up for life. What happened was much worse.

Charlie became a science experiment when the Institute put a chip in his head that made him incapable of hurting people. His favourite pastime!! Charlie can't hurt/feed on/etc any humans without feeling immense pain. Big womp womp! It really salted his game. They also turned him against maker Piper Renderos, causing him to attack her every time they made eye contact.

Before Founder's Festival, his beloved wife Clary Liu was bitten by original werewolf Frederick Bellefonte. This was the single most devastating moment of his life. He wouldn't let her die-- he couldn't. So, Charlie goes to the one person he knows can be trusted, even if she hates his guts: Karen McReid. In return for a favour, she keeps Clary safe while he tracks down Frederick and Vivian Vandeviere for their blood, for the spell to save his wife.

Luckily, Clary survives, but it takes a toll on their relationship. All Clary had ever wanted was her revenge on Vivian and she was never going to get it. Vivian was kidnapped by the Institute (those bastards!) and without her around, Clary was listless. 'Who am I without revenge'-- Charlie didn't understand. Apparently, he'd changed. Womp womp.

D-Day happens and it was absolute nonsense! Utter bullshit! Very annoying and uncool behaviour. Charlie liked living in the shadows, thank you very much! He doesn't want everyone to know what he is. At least he got to kill a supernatural or two in the big fight to pass the time, but it just didn't hit the same...

Things just seemed to get worse and worse for Charlie, especially with Clary. She wasn't the same, he wasn't the same-- fucking Will Rebelo was around at their house every other day!? And then before Charlie knew it, Clary leaves the dome. Poof! Gone! Nothing was fun anymore, you know? He just wanted things back to the way they were, everyone back in their place. What ever happened to the old fashion food chain? #rip

Eventually- finally!- Charlie manages to reach out to Karen McReid who had gone underground and formed the resistance. Of course their peaceful meet-up turns into him being grabbed by the resistance ('I surrender, take me to your leader'). He ends up chained in the bathtub, drinking out of a straw, for a good few months underground.

Charlie put in the time, eventually proves that he's on their side, more or less. Callie Cooper also confirms that Charlie's chip is still working, so they let him out of the tub. He's given a couple of missions to test the waters, is even almost trusted after a while. There's a general understanding he's on their side. Just an ally for now, in these trying times. Not to mention, he did say he owed Karen after she looked after Clary. He's a man of his word.

The plan for November 2016 was fucked from the beginning. Charlie voiced his disdain, but who listened? No one! Away they went anyway. He did consult, of course, but the information he had was outdated. He stayed behind on the day of the plan to protect his cover (The Bad GuysTM don't know he's turned), but then... Karen died. So what was the point!

Ryan Mitchell tells him that Will Rebelo did it and now it's clearer than ever: Will has to die. Charlie, Ryan and Danny McReid finally agree on something there.

Above ground, Charlie has tried to sway a few of the bad guys to his way of thinking. Don't they miss the good old times? Charlie sure does. (And on a quick side note, to finish off: there was once a scuffle and he hit Gen Huang underground and it. Did Not Hurt. He faked it to keep consistency, but WTF? What IS she?)
