Charlton Blunt is the Chairman of the Council of Elder Statesmen of the Kingdom of Elesius. Despite coming from a low-ranking family feared and despised by other aristocratic families due to their knowledge of the dark arts, his unrelenting drive and ambition have placed him in a position of power second only to that of the king. A man of conservative values, his ultimate goal is to restore Elesius to its former role as a feudalistic aggressor state. He despises Edna, but as she is the spiritual leader of the kingdom, he has no choice but to tolerate her snobbish, boorish behavior and her endless histrionics.
