people that charles would absolutely be considered as protoges/adopted kids:
jordan - I feel like aspd jordan would be such a menace under Charles, if he just let himself be his true unmasked self
kylie - ditto w/ the baby girl, imagine if you had the scathing tongue of a teenage bully alongwide the cold brutality of mason. truly the most unbearable combo she would be unstoppable.
also he uses kenzie to make kylie worse
clancy - tries to mould him into a monster, ryan can't really put his money where his mouth is and ends up fucking up a bunch. but that just means charles can beat the shit out of him and rape him as punishment. he loves hearing/seeing ryan hurt
similar to ry, charles manipulates brett.rg, cash and patrick (as a duo and playing them against each other) - whether or not they're as successful as the others, he does love corrupting them and fucking with their minds and bodies
also brett and ox totally reminds him of himself and parr.ow/sla.de. he definitely would find it endearing if he felt emotions like that.
dustin!!!! underrated king!!! absolute menace in WO right now and I just know charles would love dustin and constantly egging him on. he definitely impressed charles when he first saw his work.
b3ar isn't a protoge, but he sees him kinda like par/sla. a monster he can wield, control, and set on people like a wild animal. in the same vein alec and marcus are jordan's pets.
