Charlie Evans was the sole survivor when the transport vessel he was aboard crashed on Thasus in 2252. Charlie, who was only three years old at the time, had limited supplies and a handful of microtapes to learn from. The Thasians, who preferred to isolate themselves to the point that their existence was considered to be a rumor, revealed themselves to the boy, and granted him the ability to use powers like their own in order to help him survive in the harsh environment.

Charlie was rescued fourteen years later by the U.S.S. Antares NCC-501. The Antares' Captain Ramart rushed to get Charlie off of his ship as quickly as possible, having grown fearful of the boy's abilities in the short time he was aboard the ship, and when Ramart thought the Antares was far enough away to be safe from Charlie, he attempted to contact the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, in order to warn Captain Kirk, but Charlie — intent on reaching Colony Alpha V, where he had relatives waiting to take him in — caused the baffle plate on the ship's reactor to disappear, destroying the ship.

Charlie displayed an impressive range of powers, able to make objects and even people appear or disappear at will, as well as the ability to cause them to change form, such as when he turned Yeoman Tina Lawton into an iguana. His abilities had limits, however, and Charlie became vulnerable when Kirk and the Enterprise crew forced him to take direct control of the ship's systems. The Thasians approached the Enterprise soon thereafter, retrieving Charlie for safekeeping on Thasus, and undoing the damage that he had caused aboard the Enterprise. The Antares, however, was beyond their ability to restore.[1]

In 2371, the Thasians departed for another reality, but were unable to bring Charlie along. Finding himself completely alone, he began to imagine that he was talking to another version of himself. Over time, his powers manifested that other self into a fully-formed personality that shared his body, but that version of Charlie had begun to lose his grip on his sanity. In 2373, Charlie encountered a squad of Starfleet Academy cadets, including Nog, while trying to escape Thasus once again. He ultimately confronted his manifested personality, and the two disappeared, their ultimate fates unknown.[2]
