He appears at the Head Museum after Hermes was decapitated, when Fry feeling jealous picks up Charles and pretends to be him, he returned while Lars and Leela were walking through the Head Museum.

He attends Leela and Lars' wedding along with Leonard Nimoy and a few other heads. After Hermes got his paradox body crushed by a chandelier, Charles and Hermes had to share a jar for the time being.

Trivia

  • As mentioned on the commentary of Bender's Big Score, he was only added into the film due to the snippet of The Jigsaw Seen's cover of Scott Walker's song "30 Century Man" played at the end of the film;
    • I'll save my bread and take it with me,
      'til a hundred years or so,
      shame you won't be there to see me,
      shaking hands with Charles de Gaulle.
  • Fry has never heard of him.
