Before he was picked up by Gertrude and brought to work for the Institute, Charles was actually born into The Cult of the Lightless Flame and was intended to become an Avatar

Despite the violent shift in alignment he's retained some human space heater traits that Victor is wholly grateful for lmao

Got some exciting news n stuff coming up hopefully, but it's also got me a fair bit nervous tbh;;;;;; felt like channeling that through Victor with a quick painting

Coloring n rendering like this are not generally my forte digitally but I'm actually really happy with how this came out💙
