Since Charisma is force of personality, I'd play as him as very easy to manipulte and change his mind ... in other words, start doing one thing, and as soon as somebody mentions something else ... change your mind and go with it .... .. of course, with the high Int, you're not going to be stupid about it ... and you'll likely find clever ways of doing what you're aiming at ... however, you'd be ... uh .. "fickle" ? Is that the right word? :D

He might have been a good guy once, but over the years he gradually became more and more bend on getting back world, and have everyone else suffer like he have suffered since the day where he realized that nobody liked him. As hes clearly intelligent, I say that he is the mad professor type villian. He might be a cleric, mage or rogue, who is building an alchemical or magical doomsday device in a lair under a crowded city. I imagine him sneaking up in a church tower late at night, from where he can laugh (like a maniac) at all the people in the city, and fantasize about the day heŽll make everyone pay for the way they treated him.

He could be a professor sort who looks down on those who aren't as clever as him, and isn't shy about pointing this fact out (hence the 5 cha). Alternatively he could just be increbily bookish and have zero social grace, for example if someone tries to shake his hand he'll just stare at their outstretched hand blankly, or if someone says good morning or something similar to him he gets confused because he's not used to it, preferring the company of books who never need such niceties. This would go quite well with Ditto's interpretation as he would likely be very uncertain in most situations and would go with whatever the party leader or whoever else he happened to trust the most says to do. You could put a twist on it and have him be very uncertain socially but as soon as a situation tactical, arcane, whatever arises where he has knowledge he forgets that the people around him don't have the same knowledge and belittles them for not putting the knowledge into practise i.e. "Why did you walk across there? Every idiot knows that the faye tribes of Zindarium always set traps like that and who could fail to spot that those rocks had been laid out in a classic Klendaria esoteric array. What... why are you looking at me like that?" at which point he becomes uncertain of himself again.

If he was a fighter he was a tacticion, but the brutish fighters picked on him. as a wizard he was more of a diviner or Necro, compaired to the abdjurers and evokers, who made fun of him for his hobby/prefered school. as a rogue, He was smarter then the others and they resented him for it (rogues are smart, but usaually not 16 int smart) as a cleric he had bad luck and other members felt that he was cursed or disfavored by their god.
