Charlie Hogan
Richard Chambers—called “Eyeball” because his right eye jitters uncontrollably—is the older brother of Chris Chambers. He belongs to Ace Merrill’s gang, along with Billy Tessio, Charlie Hogan, and Fuzzy Bracowicz. Like his father, he has a drinking problem. And he’s especially violent, beating Chris so severely he breaks his arm in two places as punishment for the younger boys’ attempt to claim Ray Brower’s body and for the crime of standing up to Ace and the older boys.

Quotes
I didn’t care if Ace or Fuzzy and the rest of those assholes respected me or thought I was stupid or never thought about me at all. But there was Chris to think of. His brother Eyeball had broken his arm in two places and had left his face looking like a Canadian sunrise. They had to set the elbow-break with a steel pin. Mrs. McGinn from down the road saw Chris staggering along the soft shoulder, bleeding from both ears and reading a Richie Rich comic book. She took him to the CMG Emergency Room where Chris told the doctor he had fallen down the cellar stairs in the dark.
