He was portrayed by Jahzir Kadeem and by Chris Rock as an adult.
History
Charlie initially lived with his parents, but was forced to fall under the guardianship of his grandmother, Agatha Hansen, after the death of his parents in a tragic car accident. Charlie went to live with his grandmother in his mother's childhood home, and moved into her bedroom shortly after. Despite this, Charlie was reluctant to accept his new life, and his mood dipped for an extended period after his parents death; at times, he was reluctant to eat.
Things started to look up for Charlie, however, when Agatha purchased him a pet mouse, which he named Daisy. Charlie's mood drastically changed and he began enjoying living with his grandmother. Charlie's life changed drastically once more, however, when he encountered a woman in the store who offered him candy, A woman he would later find out was a witch. Following this, Charlie was once more uprooted and forced to leave his grandmother's home to evade the witches.
Charlie is moved to the coast to stay in a hotel with his grandmother until the witches pass. Unbeknownst to the two, however, the witches, and especially the Grand High Witch, followed Charlie and Agatha to the hotel. Charlie eventually witnessed the witches plans to turn all of the children into witches, and witnessed a boy he met earlier, Bruno Jenkins, being turned into a mouse using the Grand High Witch's "mouse maker" potion. Charlie too, moments later, fell pray to the serum and was turned into a mouse.
Now a mouse, Charlie revealed himself, Bruno, and Daisy, who is also a child named Mary turned into a mouse, to his grandmother. They formulated a plan to reverse-engineer the mouse maker serum, however their efforts are futile and the cure failed. Charlie realized that he and the others will be stuck as mice forever, but does not let this get them down; the three mice and his grandmother formulated a plan to take down the witches.
Armed with the serum he stole from the Grand High Witch's hotel room, Charlie poured the contents into the soup that the witches are due to eat later that night. In turn, Agatha watched as all of the witches (except the Grand High Witch) are turned into mice. The three mice and Agatha retired to the Grand High Witch's room following this in an effort to round up all of the mouse maker serum. In the process, they dueled with the Grand High Witch, and Charlie is successful in turning her into a large, volatile mouse.
With the Grand High Witch indisposed, Charlie, his grandmother, Daisy and Bruno rounded up the remaining vials of mouse maker, and the Grand High Witch's book of witches, and vowed to rid the world of witches forever. Years later, he has aged gracefully but was still arming young children with the serum in an effort to keep his promise.
Personality
He is very generous, even to the point that after he was turned into a mouse, he still proceeded with his duty to rid the world of witches. Aside, he formed a close bond with Bruno Jenkins, despite not having known him prior to being turned into a mouse.
