Here's my theory about Charles:

What if a bit after the video was taken, Charles hurt the baby girl we see in the video and the baby died. I don't think it's Ali, according to the video, they seem to have 3-4 years old difference. Alison is 2-3 years too young. Following the events, Mrs. D hid the whole thing and hid Charles to protect him. None of the other parents seem to "know" Jason has a twin, because nobody ever asked about him. Does Jason know he has a twin? If he doesn't then that means Mrs. D sent Charles to Radley at a really young age, for Jason to forget he had a brother (probably 4 years old). Ali was born 2-3 years later. It's the only way to explain the two dresses and Ali not knowing about Charles (I don't think the story goes the transgender way). I think the dress was bought by Mrs D, with sentiment when Ali was young, not because the baby in the video survive d.

Radley, the missing link:

In Radley, Charles probably talked to Bethany. When Mrs D visited him, she probably saw Bethany and noticed she looked like an older Ali, old enough to be the age the baby girl would have been. With sentiment, she was taken by her. Ok, moving forward in time. Let's say Charles was in Radley when Mona was there too. Complaining about Ali's bullying. He might have overheard her (Alison you say?! Alison Dilaurentis, my doll??). He broke out that night of the Jenna Thing, he was the peeping tom Ali saw in the window (not Toby!). Mrs. D knew who A is (Charles), but she couldn't come clean when stuff got really crazy. Sending him a message, "I can't protect you anymore." he probably went psycho and killed her.

Anyway, that's what I think Charles origin story is. What do you guys think? :)
