Personality[]
Although he is the person responsible for a lot of the screenshots and video footage that was released during the original Fable's development, Charlton himself has only ever appeared publicly in the Developer Diaries for Fable 2. In these Developer Diaries for the game, Charlton comes across as kind of reserved and awkward when being interviewed. This is mostly noticable as he usually talks with a very quiet voice. However, despite this, he will sometimes try to crack a few jokes and laugh during these same interviews.
