Portrait of character named  Charles Knowles

Information


Count Charles Knowles is the commanding officer of the Anatoray battleship Goliath, assigned to Mad-thane's fleet at Minagith. His ship is the first to retreat from the battlefield during the surprise attack by Disith, giving it the nickname the "Fleeing" Goliath. Knowles is portrayed as a vain and egotistical character and orders his own face painted on the bow of the Goliath. He challenges Alex Row to a ship-to-ship duel but regrets his action after realizing he is facing the "Invincible" Silvana. Knowles orders his men to fire before the signal to commence is fired, expecting to destroy the Silvana in a surprise attack, but the Silvana is unharmed and sinks his ship in one volley. He perishes with the entire crew of the Goliath.
