Charlie Wilhelm Cleems / Chanticleer is an outlaw, freedom fighter, and Frontliner freelancer in Swappernetter Society. This version of him features in the Swappernetters: Frontliner Story Pack for The Sims 4.

Skills
Most Frontliners are expected to be good at freerunning. However, Chanticleer is good at dancing instead. He is also good at diversions and traps. He boasts about having rebuilt Drop-In's old jetpack for his own use, in spite his disappointment at being unable to recover Korsicht's.

In The Sims 4, his skills acquired through gameplay are Cooking, Dancing, Fitness, Mischief, and Programming. His skills are whatever allows him to survive on the street as a scavenger, inventor, parts barterer, and small arms dealer.

Character bio
Chanticleer was a talented scavenger in the Little Rock area, who joined the Swappernetters due to them being the only clients brave enough to make off-the-books sales with him, knowing the Chrome Kite's contempt for independent entrepreneurs. While dealing resources for Kamhold's cabal most often, Chanticleer did business with any Swappernetters that would seek him out, provided they didn't rub him as untrustworthy.

Eventually, Trista hired Chanticleer to assist in a mission to Missouri, after a collapse of the Wall allowed the Sodality Western Militia to reclaim the state from Affadidah's zombies. Chanticleer helped rescue orphans and other families from remaining regime "zombies." The goal of most Bunnywork during that expansion was effort aimed at helping Toklisana reclaim territory from Ameristan - and from the remains of Netheel. Several other Swappernetters went on missions there. However, the Chrome Kite became suspicious of absent Frontliner activity in Little Rock neighborhoods. They heard word of the Wall being compromised, and sent various Screwworms, Microwave Mouths, and Stagtars to Missouri. The enemy raided the Joplin area; but were beaten back by Amado, Plum Bixie, the Gray Rancher, and Sarah Ruben.

After surviving the raid, they get a surprise visit from Shaniqua Tamery, with a gift to the Twirlflame Trio from none other than Donte McArthur. Tabitha learns that the package is Remotach, as Candi had plenty of spare supplies - and she feared that the Trio would need that particular set of it more than she would.

Chanticleer remained an ally of the various cabals right up until his untimely death at the hands of Bliksemhek.

Personality
A lifelong scavenger and street level broker, Charlie "Chanticleer" Cleems has always been reluctant to commit to a single Frontliner Boss for any length of time, or become a devout Frontliner at all. He hung out with Atroce (and later Jordan) the most when dealing with actual Frontliners; but his French-accented charm would help Tabby and her friends in a moment's notice. While aware of Selina's crush on him, he didn't live long enough to let her know that he was beginning to feel affection for her in return. In spite this, Selina remained very traumatized by Bliksemhek killing him.

In The Sims 4, Chanticleer has the Joke Star aspiration, with an automatic trait of Gregarious. His assigned traits are Dance Machine, Loves the Outdoors, and Childish. His secondary character archetypes are Lover and Jester.

Trivia

 * Charlie's nickname of "Chanticleer" comes from the fact that, like the rooster from classic literature, he is flamboyant and cocky, and struts around when dancing.
 * His nickname is also partially inspired by the 1991 film Rock-a-Doodle, and also partially by the 1953 film By the Light of the Silvery Moon.
