Trying hard to make Charles into a...well, not exactly sympathetic character, but one that is complex enough that people can relate to his nicer traits (and he does have nicer traits) even as they abhor the atrocities he's committed.
As for Haytham, don't worry, he'll make an appearance. Not anytime soon, but he'll come 'round.
