Who is Charles the Goblin?

I’m Charles Winthrop the Third, but most people just call me "Mister Charles" or my online name, "Charles the Goblin." I’m not a character "wearing a costume," I’m me. A living, breathing goblin walking around your very real, almost too human world. Yes, really. The ears are real. The feet are real. The clothing is very real (you should see my tailor bill).

I’ve been called strange, eccentric, even impossible, but I’d rather be true than typical. My roots are pure Otherkin, part theatrical, part Velvet Regency Daydream. I don't just play the part, I am the part.

What I Do

By trade, I’m the Executive Director of OtherWorlds TV (yes, that’s a real television channel), a tinkerer, a storyteller, a goblin philanthropist, and a walking provocation to ask better questions.

I listen, I learn, I advocate, and I build beautiful things in public, especially for those who’ve spent too long hiding.

Why I Do It

Because I was once the person who thought they had to stay quiet. Because the world needs visible weirdness. Because being strange is not a flaw, it’s a gift. And because if just one person sees me and realizes they’re not alone, then I’ve done something worthwhile.
