Charles "Chuck" Moss was the first protegé of Michael Twoyoungmen, Alpha Flight's Shaman. Shaman has described Chuck as someone with great mystic potential, who could be become dangerous if not properly guided.
Little is known of Moss' past. It appears that Shaman had been keeping an eye on him for quite some time, but it's unknown why he has decided to start Chuck's training now. The only other thing known about Moss' background is that he was originally planning on playing professional hockey before he began down the mystic path.
While training with Shaman Chuck accompanied Alpha Flight on a number of missions. Although still technically an apprentice, his abilities are formidable. Moss was one of the Alpha Flight members who went to the Plodex homeworld; he was not,
however, present when the team was killed battling the Collective.
Chuck Moss has mystical abilities that are mostly unquantified. He appears to use a version of Shaman's medicine pouch to cast his spells. Moss has a particular strength in magic that affects or controls soil, mud, rock, or anything else associated with the ground.
