Charlton Hemming is the fictional aging billionaire owner of CenCo., a lucrative company with Bionimals as one of its many subsidiaries. He debuted as the main antagonist of the 2005 novel Kong Reborn by Russell Blackford.
History
Kong Reborn
In the late nineties, CenCo. purchased a large portion of the Helmsley corporation, which owned a great portion of the Empire State Building, and when a dried spot of Kong's blood was discovered on the building, Hemming became the rightful owner. However, Hemming had a habit of hiring disloyal "yes-men" who sold some of the blood on the black market, and Charlton suspected that some of it had ended up in the hands of his rival Jack Denham, and he began attempting to one-up the smaller company and buy them out.
In 2004, the fake-tanned billionaire was in his sixties and appeared on CNN to reveal Bionimals' successful cloning of a dwarf mammoth, but promised something much bigger in the near future. However, all attempts to clone Kong resorted in rejected embryos or congenital deformities. Bionimals' Chief Science Officer Roxanne Blaine was capable, but all attempts seemed doomed to fail as they were working with less than seventy percent of the original's DNA.
However, in March of 2006, Hemming saw an article online touting the headline Kong Reborn. After reading it, he called Blaine and told her to cancel project "Big Man", as he planned his lawsuit. In August of that year, Hemming pressed charges for nearly everything imaginable short of jaywalking. However, what Hemming really wanted was the location of Skull Island in order to exploit its new and unknown species. In December of 2008 they reached a settlement agreement: Hemming would finance the repatriation efforts for Kong in exchange for split control over his handling with Blaine. In addition to this, Hemming wanted 50% of the viable genes of species for research.
