20+Role and Position
21+ 
22+Sportskeeda and Destructoid both stress that Charlie Sharpe is a quest giver, not a vendor. A separate trader is present at his location and handles any actual buying and selling. Players should not expect to buy gear or consumables from Charlie directly; his inventory is quest-advancement dialogue, not merchant stock.

24+Refugee-Crisis Backstory
25+ 
26+The People of Tortuga faction hideout is a camp of refugees who fled Tortuga after a Blackbeard-aligned pirate raid killed the governor and devastated the settlement. Charlie is leading aid efforts at the camp: coordinating food delivery, managing the Doctor Galen medicine pipeline, and flagging immediate threats to the refugees. Per Sportskeeda, his mission statement is "to help refugees who fled after a tragedy at Tortuga."

28+Quest Chain Context
29+ 
30+Charlie participates in three quest chains that overlap structurally. Players often meet him through a cross-faction delivery before accepting his own Catastrophe's Aftermath quest:
31+ 
32+Delivery from the Buccaneers: bring Charlie a Bale of Tanned Hides (handed to you by Henri Boucher during the Buccaneers faction quest). Charlie trades you a Barrel of Rum for the hides. The Barrel of Rum is a quest item, not a drink; do not consume it.Medicine for the refugees: after Doctor Galen cooks a batch of medicine, bring it to Charlie for the People of Tortuga side quest.Catastrophe's Aftermath: Charlie's own issued quest. He asks the player to kill Jim Godart before Godart's pirate camp can raid the refugee hideout. Rewards are 10x Letters of Favor and a significant People of Tortuga reputation boost.

34+Navigation Tip
35+ 
36+The hideout's multi-level layout has confused enough players that both Destructoid and walkthrough guides call it out specifically. Enter through the hideout gate and take the first left. The Buyer (faction trader) stands on the ground floor near the entrance. Charlie and the Provisioner are on the balcony above, reached via the palisade walkway, not the main stairs. The stairs lead to the lookout, not to Charlie.
