Description: During the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Kid Charlemagne supplied the best drugs in San Francisco (I presume Heroin, but in more modern games it could be cocaine or crystal-meth). He gained a reputation as an honest supplier and made quite a deal of cash, feeling himself almost on top of the world and able to do anything. But as time passed and things changed, his former customers began to default on payments and his friends died. Finally, Kid Charlemagne was forced to leave San Francisco when his neighbors began to suspect his activities and the police moved in to arrest him.

Need a former drug-supplier (and possible ex-junkie)? Kid Charlemagne is your man. A skilled chemist, he's the sort of low-end street-level contact every Dark Champions vigilante needs to identify new drugs or to press for information about what's happening on the street. To make him more powerful (he has 13 points to spend), up his INT, give him a few more Science skills, and maybe WF: Handguns.

Kid Charlemagne can be found in the Steely Dan song, Kid Charlemagne.
