Biography[]

Terminal Diagnosis[]

Not much is known about Charles Carlyle's past. However, one day he was diagnosed with astrocytoma, a type of brain cancer, by the renowned oncologist Dr. Lawrence Gordon. Carlyle was classified as a terminal patient with barely any chance of surviving his disease, probably because it had entered a terminal state due to being diagnosed too late.

Trivia[]
