Charles Whalen

Enthusiastic Supportive Vulnerable Knowledgeable Good-natured
Charles Whalen is a passionate and enthusiastic literary historian with a deep appreciation for classic detective fiction, evident in his excited participation in the Dixon Hill 1941 Holodeck simulation. He dresses fashionably in period-appropriate attire and shares a strong camaraderie with Captain Picard and Data as they immerse themselves in the noir setting. Whalen often attempts to rationalize and calm others amid the rising tension of the simulation, yet his buoyant spirit coexists with a sudden, tragic vulnerability when he is fatally shot in a real danger that breaches the simulation's boundaries. His final moments transform him from a jovial companion to a critical victim whose injury escalates the stakes for the crew.
