Charles Laisdell is married to Isabella Laisdell when she joins her father Matthias’s cult. Charles seeks out Isabella Laisdell soon after, and he receives legal support to retrieve her from the cult. Later, when Matthias is put on trial for assaulting Isabella, Charles delivers a statement in court saying that Matthias (as Isabella’s father) had no right to beat Isabella: she was married, meaning only her husband could do that. Charles’s statement is instrumental in enabling Matthias’s conviction for beating Isabella.
