Family
Sir John Devenish (deceased) - father
Lady Devenish - mother
Sir William Devenish - brother
Background
Charlie was brought up always knowing he was the younger son, and shirking responsibility. He was spared from being involved in the financial problems of his family and had a happy childhood. Applebrook is near to Rotherham and he and Will grew up with the Fitzgerald children, close as siblings. As time passed, Will and Lady Olivia Fitzgerald grew closer and it is possible that they might marry in the future. Charlie has never had any romantic interest in either of the girls: he is too much in awe of Viola, and treats Olivia as a little sister.
At Eton, Charlie was always a keen and well-behaved pupil, but he did not excel at any academic discipline nor did he have a very long attention span. He made friends easily however and enjoyed some success in sports. His best friend was always Tristan Edgeworth.
After Sir John's death, it seemed like there would not be enough money to see Charlie through university, but he was supported by Lord Rotherham and studied Theology at Oxford. He graduated the previous year and hopes to take orders the following spring. The Earl has sent him to London to give him some worldly experience. That his daughter Lady Viola is there to keep an eye on him is a happy coincidence. Of course, Charlie sees it more as having been sent to keep an eye on Viola himself.
Charlie has been enjoying the 1811 season, happy simply to experience all the novelty and amusements of London. He has formed attachments to both Elise Hampton and Katherine Winter but without much hope of any return, seeing both girls as far above him. As of Sunday 12th May, he and his brother have decided to move out of Cavisham House and take bachelor lodgings for the remainder of the season. During the Ridotto at Vauxhall Gardens on Tuesday 14th May, Charlie lost his virginity to a beautiful prostitute called Anna.
Relationships
Friends
Lady Viola Fitzgerald: Charlie sees Viola as a rather scary older sister. He is used to being dominated by her and takes it with a pinch of salt. They're good friends really.
Lady Olivia Fitzgerald: Closer in age and temperament than Viola, Charlie and Olivia get on very well indeed, know each other very well and are as close as siblings.
Robert Fitzgerald: Despite being a lot younger than Robbie, Charlie was always part of these childhood games and the two get along well.
Lord Latimer: Charlie's best friend from school, and still a close friend.
Lady Cassandra Edgeworth: Another good childhood friend. They get on particularly well when also with Olivia.
Annabelle Beacham: One of Charlie's new favourite people in London. They seem to share an optimistic outlook on the world. Charlie believes she is in love with him.
Susannah Hutchinson: Another dance partner Charlie liked.
Charlotte Tolson: Has the most amazing tales about India! He also likes her.
Benedict DeLancey: Agreeable gentleman he's met several times round London.
Lord Emerson: Helped him out in a scrape in a a walking stick shop. Very much obliged to him.
Thomas Leith: A new friend but Charlie has warmed to him and considers him a good pal on a short acquaintance.
Nathaniel Scarborough: Charlie met Mr. Scarborough at the same time as Mr. Leith and took to him equally.
Frederick Lazenby: A friend from Yorkshire through the Fitzgeralds
Sophia Lazenby: A friend from Yorkshire through the Fitzgeralds
Charles Banbury: Met at a card party and likes very much
Lord Forton: A friend from Eton
