Knowles, Charles

チャールズ・ノウルズ

Count Charles Knowles commands the Anatoray battleship Goliath, which is assigned to Mad-thane's fleet at Minagith. During the surprise attack by Disith, his ship is the first to retreat from the battlefield, earning it the nickname the "Fleeing" Goliath. Knowles is depicted as a vain and egotistical character who orders his own face painted on the bow of the Goliath. He challenges Alex Row to a ship-to-ship duel but regrets the decision upon realizing he is facing the "Invincible" Silvana. Expecting to destroy the Silvana with a surprise attack, Knowles orders his men to fire before the signal to commence is given. However, the Silvana remains unharmed and sinks his ship in a single volley. He perishes along with the entire crew of the Goliath.
