Chuck is the Burners' computer programmer and is the brains of the group. He rides shot-gun in Mutt, but has his own car, Blonde Thunder.
Appearance
Chuck is the second tallest member of the group but he often slouches. Chuck hides behind his medium length blonde hair but on a few occasions, he pushes his bangs out of the way to reveal his eyes. Chuck has a large sloping nose and freckles.
He's often seen with a blue, 3/4 sleeve shirt with the Burner emblem across his chest along with dark blue jeans and (dirty) white shoes.
In Raymanthia, Chuck is known as "Lord Vanquisher", King of the Realm. He wears a long green hooded cloak.
Personality
Chuck is self-conscious, socially awkward, and the most cautious member of the Burners. Chuck often has a low opinion of himself because he lacks the same daredevil trait that the other Burners possess; however, despite his reluctance to face danger head-on, Chuck always stands by Mike's side, even when he makes a bad call. (He just won't get in the car with him.)
Chuck does have an alternative persona on the weekend when he assumes his role as "Lord Vanquisher" with his LARP group. Here, Chuck gets to live out his fantasy as a strong, reliable leader.
Abilities
Chuck is a computer genius who can hack his way anywhere with ease. Even in the thick of battle, Chuck can launch laser canons, calculate several escape route possibilities, all while screaming at the top of his lungs.
Chuck isn't really a skilled fighter when it comes to hand-to-hand combat (possibly due to his own anxiety and fear,) but he does have his own weapon, a hi-tech retractable slingshot.
History
Chuck and Mike
Mike is Chuck's best friend. A total polar opposite of Chuck's personality and his personal pillar of support. As much as Chuck wails in fear for his life riding shotgun, he knows that Mike has his back through thick and thin. Mike tries to support Chuck in every way possible (even if it means cheating at a race or defending the imaginary Kingdom of Raymanthia); encouraging him to realize his own strength that lies deep in his heart. Although it was never officially disclosed on the show about how these two first met, it's confirmed by creator Chris Prynoski that the boys grew up together in Deluxe.
Chuck and The LARPers
Chuck's loyal followers in the Kingdom of Raymanthia consist of Ruby, The Dark Slayer; Thurman, The Magnificent, Squires Jake and Philip; and the Oracle. Although Chuck originally won his crown by (in his opinion) "undignified" means, his followers embraced him as their leader. In turn, Chuck upheld his crown for 18 consecutive weekends. Even when Chuck handed his crown over to Mike for a short while, the LARPers still saw Chuck as a leader when he devised a plan to save the others from "Exterminator."
Chuck and The Duke of Detroit
Due to an unfortunate slip of the tongue and added "fuel to the fire" by Mike Chilton in the episode Blonde Thunder, Chuck's caught in the middle of a bet between Mike and the Duke that put Blonde Thunder and Mutt on the line. After discovering Chuck's dark secret during the race, Duke uses this fact as blackmail in episode A Better Tomorrow as he tries to convince the Burners to let him drive Mutt in Chuck's place.
Chuck and Claire
Claire is Chuck's love interest throughout the series. Since their first encounter in episode Ride the Lightning, Chuck has tried to win her affection by rambling on about anything that would seem to impress her. Meanwhile, Claire has made herself clear on numerous occasions that she is not interested in him.
