Charles Ruttheimer III: Difference between revisions

==Background Information==

Very little was ever revealed about Charles's personal life, as he was a secondary character founded on a stereotype, one of many comic relief devices used in the series (see also characters [[Kevin Thompson]], [[Brittany Taylor]]). His mother only appeared once in the entire series (in "[[Legends of the Mall]]"), and this was a ''faux'' flashback to illustrate an urban legend of [[Lawndale]]. The character portrayed as Upchuck's mother may or may not bear any resemblance to Upchuck's "real" mother and was never given a name in any case.

From the "III" attached to his name, and from ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'', we do know that his father's name was Charles. In [[Malled]], there is the implication that his father is rich; ''Diaries'' has his father as a businessman with "associates" who spent time overseas, confirming his wealth.
