Gunn Factsheet

by hold_that_thought

Name: Charles Gunn

Age: He was 17 in 1995, which made him 22 in Season 1, 23 in Season 2, 24 in Season 3, 25 in Season 4, and 26 in Season 5.

Places of Residence: a shelter on Plummer Street, various L.A. warehouses, the Hyperion Hotel, and presumably his own apartment in Season 5.

Education: Nothing formal, although he had a complete set of human/demon law shoved into his brain by Wolfram and Hart and the doctored degrees to go with.

Family: His younger sister, Alonna, was turned into a vampire. Gunn was forced to stake her.

Friends: Various members of Gunn's street team were given names (Chain, James, Poe, Jason, Bobby, Joey, Ray, Junior), but the two best-developed characters were Rondell and George (Thin Dead Line, Belonging). George was killed by vampires in Belonging, yet another death for Gunn to feel guilty over. Rondell and Gunn butted heads in That Old Gang of Mine, effectively splitting him from his old crew permanently. Gunn also had a few female friends: Veronica, who worked at some kind of store and was injured in a vampire attack at a party, and most notably Anne (née Lily and Chantarelle), the girl who ran The East Hills Teen Shelter.

Enemies: Desmond (car thief who made the mistake of swiping Angel's car), Deevak/Jameel (demon in whose business Gunn interfered), Jackson (general lowlife seen in Thin Dead Line), Gio (punkass wannabe demon killer from Miami), Jenoff (Gunn reneged on his deal with this demon soul-trader), countless shady people whose lives were made difficult by Gunn and his crew.

Relationships:
2002 – 2003 – Winifred "Fred" Burkle – physicist – the relationship was never the same after Gunn killed Prof. Seidel to keep Fred from committing the act
2003 - Gwen Raiden – electrogirl and professional thief – they shared an amicable and electric one-night stand

Car: A tricked-out truck (which doesn't have air-conditioning) he sold his soul for in 1995.

Pastimes: comic books, Samurai movies.

Phobias: Rats.

Weapon of Choice: An axe made from an old hubcap, made for him by his old crew.
