Occupation:	Politician
Affiliations:	British Union of Fascists

Charles "Charlie" Lynton (b. ca 1955) took over as leader of the British Union of Fascists in the mid-1990s. He was one of the first people in the Greater German Reich to push for reform upon the death of Führer Kurt Haldweim. His faction of the BUF was able to reintroduce elements of democracy back into the party, largely on the strenght of the First Edition of Mein Kampf. Lynton was eventually installed as the Prime Minister of Britain. He later condemned the attempted putsch against Heinz Buckliger.

Lynton's speech and mannerisms suggested an old line English aristocrat. Lynton had in fact been born in Edinburgh.

[edit] Literary comment

Charlie Lynton is almost certainly based on Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1997-2007.
