[edit] History
Charles Scully would often make World War II model planes with his father and brother. (TXF: "Piper Maru")
He and William, Jr. once gave Dana a B.B. gun as a birthday present. Charles and his brother showed Dana how to use the gun and, even though their father had told them only to shoot cans, Charles and his siblings began shooting at a garter snake, eventually killing it. (TXF: "One Breath")
Shortly after Christmas 1993, Charles attended his father's funeral, at which only family members were present, and stood with a female partner as well as two boys. (TXF: "Beyond the Sea", "all things")
- Charles' attendance of his father's funeral is not clearly established, but is likely. In "Beyond the Sea", the attendees of this ceremony are comprised of Margaret and Dana Scully as well as two anonymous, seemingly heterosexual couples, one of whom is accompanied by two boys. It seems likely that one of the men in these two couples is Charles Scully, as Margaret tells Dana that "just the family" are present at the ceremony, and William Scully, Jr. is not established as having any children at this point. Archive footage of this version of the family later briefly appears in the Season 7 episode "all things".
Later the same year, Charles' sister, Dana, told her FBI partner, Fox Mulder, that she had two brothers, an older one and, referring indirectly to Charles, a younger one. (TXF: "Roland")
After Charles' other sister, Melissa, was killed, Charles sent presents to the other surviving members of his family, who were staying at William Jr.'s house, for Christmas in 1997. (TXF: "The Blessing Way", "Christmas Carol") At least one of these gifts was for Dana. (TXF: "Christmas Carol")
When a pregnant Dana Scully was refusing to divulge the sex of her unborn baby son to her mother in 2001, Dana - indirectly referring to the gender of Charles and his siblings - rhetorically asked their mother, "Didn't you have to wait with us?" (TXF: "Essence")
