Biography
Charles Gunn was a male human born in the modern age where he had a younger sister named Alonna Gunn. He came to grow up in the Badlands that a section of inner-city Los Angeles where the police would not go and had to look after his sister from a young age. Although he had a few brushes with the law, he acted as a kind of urban Robin Hood to keep the streets in his neighborhood safe. In his teens, Gunn rose through the ranks to become the leader of a gang of street-fighters who protect their turf from vampires using guerrilla tactics. Possessing the mind of a military strategist and the strength of a back-alley brawler, life in the ghetto hardened Gunn to the extent that his own well-being became less important than the cause, resulting in him trading his soul for a truck in a deal with a demon named Jenoff when he was only 17 years old which he made because he believed he had no future. (Angel: Double or Nothing)
Overview
Personality and attributes
Despite his off-putting front, Gunn showed remarkable loyalty towards those in his inner circle and took up responsibility to protect them. After the death of his sister Alonna, Gunn became increasingly self-destructive. He was very tightly wound and believed that if he ever let himself relax, another innocent person would die. Cordelia would make note of this, encouraging him to end his reckless habits so he would not destroy himself. (Angel: First Impressions)
Powers and abilities
After joining Wolfram & Hart, he consented to a procedure by the Medical Department that enhanced his mind with a comprehensive understanding of the law. (Angel: Conviction)
