The Doctor's Family
Charles is the village's doctor and a member of The Knights of the Golden Light. He is shown to be professional and courteous towards his patients, but cold with his wife, Maureen, and outright abusive towards his twin brother, George. He is a close friend of Sergeant Kent Clarke, another Knight, and both are opposed to the Knights' leader, John Jones, whom they see as a dangerous figure misusing the Knights' power. He spends much of the series unaware of the fact that his wife is trying to kill him. He dies accidentally in Strangehaven #18.
George is the twin brother of Charles, but while Charles became a successful doctor, George is a slovenly alcoholic. George is extremely jealous of his brother's success and intelligence, but is shown to still love him on several occasions. Despite this, Charles treats George with utter contempt. George briefly allows himself to be seduced by Maureen, Charles's wife, and subsequently becomes infatuated with her, although she is only using him to upset her husband. After Charles dies, Maureen convinces him to take his brother's place, knowing that she will be arrested for murder otherwise.
Maureen is Charles's spiteful wife. When Charles refuses to grant her a divorce their relationship deteriorates even further and she resorts to trying to kill him, but fails each time. Eventually, she is able to seduce Charles's twin brother, George, in order to make Charles jealous. She is a cold-hearted and apparently conscienceless woman.

Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or family:
“When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. Catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; Protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. Hence Plato, with his transcendent Forms, is the doctor of Protestants; Aristotle, with his immanent Forms, the doctor of Catholics.”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)
“If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
