Haven't read the book but I'm guessing that Charlie is a fictional character that is the personification of all the thoughts/emotions swirling through his head o the part of his mind that is trying to get him to stop. At least the articles I've seen dscussing the book make it seem like that is the case. It also, of course, allows him to confess (a need for many killers) by potentially pinning the blame on "Charlie" (i.e. the book is I have no idea what happened, I sort of coame out of a blackout and people were dead. I could have done it I suppose but maybe it was Charlie!). It allows him to disconnect from the act itself.
