Charlotte Basskarte

Charlotte Basskarte is a son of the Charlotte Family and a member of the Big Mom Pirates.

Appearance
Basskarte is a very large and wide man, with his head also being wide. The bottom part of his face is obscured by the collar of his jacket, which covers his entire body. He keeps his hands inside his long sleeves. He also wears a mask over his mouth and nose and a headband that obscures his face further. He has a massive mane of puffy hair that resembles flames.

Personality
Basskarte is loyal to his mother, as he readily took part in Big Mom's plan to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family and helped his crew chase after and attack the Straw Hats and Germa 66.

Abilities and Powers
Through unknown means, Basskarte can launch flames from his hands strong enough to quickly set a small area ablaze, although these flames were ineffective against the Vinsmoke Family's Raid Suits. He was ultimately easily overpowered by the Vinsmokes in battle.

He has a strong will, as he remained conscious after a blast of Big Mom's Haoshoku Haki.

Weapons
As a member of the group assigned to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family, Basskarte wielded a Walker.

During his clash with Yonji at the Germa Kingdom in the anime, Basskarte uses a sword.

Whole Cake Island Arc
Basskarte was present at the tea party and wedding between Charlotte Pudding and Vinsmoke Sanji on the roof of the Whole Cake Chateau. He was sitting with Zuccotto, and his brothers Oven and Daifuku behind Reiju, awaiting the signal to start Big Mom's plot. After Monkey D. Luffy and his allies crashed the wedding, Basskarte and some of his crewmates trapped the Vinsmokes and held them at gunpoint, with Basskarte pointing his gun at Vinsmoke Reiju's head. However, the enemy pirates shattered Big Mom's portrait of Carmel, causing her to unleash a scream that incapacitated her crew. Basskarte watched in shock and fear as the Fire Tank Pirates betrayed Big Mom and prepared to assassinate her, but their attempt was unsuccessful.

Katakuri gave his crewmates earplugs to resist Big Mom's scream and the enemy alliance retreated into Capone Bege's "Big Father" fortress. Basskarte's group tried to attack the freed Vinsmokes. Basskarte set the area around the Vinsmokes on fire, but the flames had no effect once they donned their Raid Suits. He stood and saw Big Mom's attack on the alliance. The Big Mom Pirates defeated the enemy alliance, but Big Mom's Tamatebako ended up falling off the Chateau and exploding, causing the Chateau to topple over. However, the Big Mom Pirates' fall was broken when Streusen turned part of the Chateau into soft cake.

The Big Mom Pirates regrouped, and Basskarte and several of his crewmates prepared to pursue the escaping Straw Hats. However, they were met with a surprise when Big Mom, who had developed a craving for wedding cake, overtook them and chased after the Straw Hats herself. Later, Basskarte joined Nusstorte's army to attack the Germa Kingdom.

As Nusstorte's forces invaded the Germa Kingdom, Basskarte made his way to the Germa cloning facility, where he clashed with Yonji.

The entire army was defeated by Germa 66. Reiju sat on Basskarte's defeated body before he and the rest of the army were thrown into the sea.
