Charles X
Also known as Charles X of France
- Minor
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 356
Charles X appears only as a name carried forward by history, a distant royal presence rather than a character the reader comes to know. The text leaves him a blank silhouette at the edge of its reflections on power.

Charles X is named briefly as a historical figure, with no active role in the novel’s events. Tolstoy provides no personal history or developed arc for him in this mention.
Description
The text offers no physical description of Charles X. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, face, clothing, and distinguishing features are not specified, so a text-faithful portrayal should leave them open.
