Charles greeted Suzi like a family member but later called her a tramp while she called him a cad. When Nick and Audrey were almost kicked off the yacht by Colonel Ulenga and his bodyguard - Sergei, Charles bailed them out and called Sergei Soviet Chewbacca. When Malcolm told everyone that Suzi would be getting his entire fortune, Charles was furious at Malcolm for ‘humiliating them.’ After Malcolm was murdered, Nick ordered everyone to lock themselves in their cabins.
