Biography
Charly is a young man from Barcelona, who is haunted by his younger sister's death. On November 22, 2010, when he was 8 and his younger sister Beatriz was 5, he allowed his sister to take part in a diving dare with his 2 other brothers, which ended up killing her. Beatriz was his mother's favorite child, and Charly was blamed for the accident. Every year on the anniversary of her death, he posts the same message on social media saying, "Beatriz, I think of you every day. I don't expect forgiveness, but know I love you."

He has carried this guilt throughout his life, which cut his potential. He repeated a school year three times.

Throughout Welcome To Eden
Charly went to Eden to try to get rid of a guilt he has carried since he was a child. He was invited to an exclusive party on a secret island run by Eden Foundation to help them promote their new energy drink, Blue Eden. He was late and ran in front of the bus to prevent it from leaving with him.

The morning after the party, Charly and the other four chosen people Zoa, Aldo, Ibón, and África woke up on an empty beach. A drone came to guide them and the five followed the drone. They reached an area with all the party staff and Astrid waiting for them.

After the tour of Eden, Charly directed to Module 7, where he would be staying in.

The next morning, Charly and the other new members got their blood drawn and put on uniforms.

Zoa, Aldo and Charly were at the beach chatting. Charly quite liked the uniforms, but Aldo felt that the island was a cult, as they had taken away their phones, prevented them from leaving, and he was followed by a drone the night before. However, Charly was not in any rush to leave the island. Aldo was concerned that he would not be able to contact his clients. While they were chatting, some members walked by with equipment, and Orson asked them to take their samples to Saúl.

Charly walked off and found Claudia standing on the beach. He approached her and tried to start a conversion, but noticed that she was crying. He asked if she was okay, and Claudia walked off.

During the farewell party, Charly approached the DJ, Mayka. Charly unintentionally asked Mayka some insensitive questions, such as how long she had been Mayka for, to which she replied that she had always been Mayka. Charly was somewhat embarrassed by his insensitivity and continued to try to flirt with her, but Mayka turned Charly down rather harshly. Charly became upset and drank two bottles of Blue Eden. He began hallucinating.

Charly saw Claudia and tried to talk to her again. Claudia was visibly upset and told Charly that he would not be leaving the island, because he would die at Eden. Later, Aldo tried to get Charly to escape with him, but Charly was too hazy and kept repeating that he would die at Eden.

Zoa woke up Charly to go look for Aldo together.

During the evaluation, Ibón and África's decision to stay was announced. Astrid asked Ibón to choose the next person to be evaluated, and he chose Charly. Astrid asked Charly to tell the story about his younger sister. When he questioned how Astrid knew about his sister's death, Astrid revealed that every year on November 22, Charly wrote the same message on social media, and she even quoted his post word for word. Charly became frustrated and under pressure, he explained that when he was 8 and his younger sister Beatriz was 5, he allowed his sister to take part in a diving dare with his 2 other brothers, which ended up killing her. Beatriz was his mother's favorite child and Charly was blamed for the accident.

During the storm, a bolt of lightning stuck out a lamp post. Charly who was walking nearby was hit and flew across the courtyard. He was injured and sent to a clinic.

That night, Mayka visited Charly at the clinic and the two flirted. Mayka brought Charly back to her place, and the two slept together.

On the anniversary of Charly's sister Beatriz's death, Charly's mother and brothers were in Barcelona visiting Beatriz's grave. His brothers said that Charly must have been absent because he was busy partying. Mayka, who was in the IT room, sent a message to Charly's mother pretending to be Charly and saying that Charly needed time away. She replied, telling Charly not to bother at all.

Charly later had doubts about Mayka's intentions. Mayka was shocked and talked about how she is loyal to Eden and joined Eden on her own. She told him that she would easily choose Eden over him. During this conversation, Mayka's laptop was hacked.

One night, the four new members, Zoa, África, Charly and Ibón, went through an initiation process to signify them joining Eden. They needed to walk across burning coal and get a necklace. The four then got a star tattooed onto their wrists to show that they were in level 1.

Charly explored the underwater cave and found an opening to the sea. He told the good news to Zoa about this, who shared it with Ibón. However, Ibón surprisingly wanted to stay at Eden, because otherwise, his controlling father would be able to track him down.
