Editing List of The Sandman characters (section)

===Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine===
'''Charles Rowland''' was the only boy left at his boarding school during the holidays when [[#Lucifer|Lucifer]] closed Hell, sending its former inhabitants back to Earth. While the adults of the school are preoccupied with the dead spirits who came back into their own lives, Charles is tortured and killed by three dead boys who used to go to the same school.

'''Edwin Paine''' is a previous victim of the trio, his body still trapped on the grounds. He befriends Charles, but is unable to keep him from dying. When Death shows up, Charles refuses to go with her and she lets him go, preferring to focus on all the other trouble Hell's closure has brought her.

As [[ghost]]s, they later appeared in other books as the [[Dead Boy Detectives]] where they investigate supernatural crimes.

In the podcast, Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine are voiced by Mack Keith Roach and Harry Tuffin.
