| “ | Protect and serve, that's what we do! | „ |
| ~ Sheriff Hoyt ironically quoting the slogan of many police stations. |
| “ | That slaughterhouse meant more to this town than them fools will ever know. Just a matter of time now before this town's overrun by bikers and hippies. Most families have already fled. Well, I say let them go. Let them flee to the hills, and the cities who pollute our air and our water and our minds. Us... we're staying right here. The ashes of six generations of Hewitts have been tilled into the soil of this farm. We will never abandon the place of our birth. We're on our own now, people. And alone... we will rise above it all. People may not remember what we say here tonight. But they sure as shit will remember what we do! Thanks to the good sheriff here... We ain't gonna go hungry tonight. Matter of fact, we ain't never gonna starve again. | „ |

Biography[]
Charlton "Charlie" aka "Junior" Hewitt was born into the Hewitts and grew up under his abusive father, a rancher, his cold mother, Luda Mae Hewitt, and his aggressive uncle, tow-truck driver, Montgomery "Old Monty" Hewitt. Charlie would quote his father's take on farming, "A clean goat is a happy goat." In 1939, Luda Mae returned to the Hewitt homestead with an abandoned infant, Thomas Brown Hewitt, whom she'd adopt and indoctrinate into their family. Charlie Hewitt had this to say of the infant, his now-adoptive younger brother, "That's the ugliest thing I ever saw." Apart from his own degree of abuse, Charlie's father, the rancher, would abuse Thomas, and even lock him in a cabin for three years' isolation. After the death of her cruel husband, Luda Mae would release Thomas. Thomas would often be picked on by his classmates, at one point the classmates being yelled at by Charlie to "get the hell away from him!" as he drove to pick up Thomas. It was from here that Charlie began to empathize more with Thomas. Charlie would later enlist in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. In 1952, he was captured, and sent to a P.O.W. Camp run by Sergeant Chow. Hoyt would eat any leftover scraps of his fellow prisoners. With the prison guards' rations extremely limited, Hewitt was forced to devour people. However, after murdering two of his captors, Hewitt would escape, abandoning other captured P.O.W.s, and return to his family's hometown in Fuller, Texas. Charlie became Thomas' mentor, with Fuller locals viewing Thomas as both a freak, and as Hewitt's nephew, rather than his brother. Hewitt would refer to himself as "Uncle Charlie", when solely in the presence of Thomas. However, Luda Mae would refer to both men as brothers. Charlie took up hunting, and tending to caring for the homestead as his mother tended to housework, his uncle working as a tow truck driver, and Thomas working at Lee Bros., a local slaughterhouse. As of 1969, six generations of Hewitts had resided in the same two-story house in Fuller, Texas. Charlie became the undisputed leader of the Hewitts after Thomas, now called "Leatherface", killed his former abusive boss at the Lee Bros. Slaughterhouse in 1969.
Hewitt was called by the last standing officer present in Fuller, Sheriff Winston Hoyt, to assist in restraining Thomas in order to arrest him on the grounds of murder. Despite the sheriff launching multiple insults at his brother, Charlie told Sheriff Hoyt that Thomas was "misunderstood." Charlie stole the sheriff's shotgun from the dashboard of his police cruiser to murder the sheriff himself to protect Thomas, "Leatherface". Hewitt now assumed Hoyt's identity and position as town sheriff for himself, to obscure his family's crimes without any repercussions in Fuller. He would later convince his family to devolve into cannibals, feeding them a stew made from the liquified remains of the murdered Winston Hoyt. He'd tell his mother, Luda Mae Hewitt, to solely refer to him as "Hoyt", explaining that "Charlie's dead now." Her only response? "Charlie, say grace." However, by 1973, Luda Mae would call him, "Junior", with no resistance. It was still 1969, when Hoyt led his entire family into later attacking a group of four young adults, one victim being a draft dodger, plus a biker couple, with Leatherface acting as the clan's enforcer. Hoyt brutally assaulted a captured victim, Bailey. As a form of retaliation, Bailey's boyfriend, Dean, assaulted Hoyt, slamming Hoyt's head against the front porch of the Hewitt's home. Hewitt would lose several of his upper teeth. Hoyt would then take to listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, drinking, and smoking grass. Under Hoyt's leadership, the Hewitt brood would commit 33 murders as acts of cannibalism across Texas for four years, ending in 1973, all the while with Hoyt posing as the only source of law enforcement in Fuller.
At some point between 1969 and 1973, Hoyt fathered a son, Jedidiah Hewitt. It was never stated who the mother of Jedidiah was, however, it's been implied that he was the result of Hoyt again capturing and assaulting another female victim of the Hewitt's stateside slaughter.
On August 18th, 1973, Hoyt would later be killed when survivor Erin Hardesty repeatedly ran him over in his own police cruiser.
