Aron Trask
Charles is Adam’s brother. Charles is a violent young boy who does not consider the effects of his actions; though he loves his brother, he beats him up badly and once tries to kill him. Charles is a devoted son to his father, Cyrus, and grows into a capable yet lonely farmer. When he dies he leaves his small fortune to Adam and Catherine, though he always hated Catherine, because he could see the evil in her (likely because he felt that same kind of evil in himself).
