Charles Parker is the Editor-in-Chief of a newspaper in London. He is portrayed as energetic, somewhat disheveled with rolled-up sleeves and a loosened tie, and passionate about journalism. His office is described as a complete mess strewn with half-finished newspapers and papers. He is known for his ability to make stories sell well, as demonstrated when Arna's previous shock-absorber invention helped his newspaper outsell the Times for two weeks straight, with circulation skyrocketing forty percent. He is quick to recognize the promotional value of Arna's perfume invention and eagerly agrees to send reporters to cover the viscountess's dinner party.
