“	Our interest in this place is entirely in the intellectual property. The code.	”
–Charlotte Hale

“	A sharp mind and relentless pragmatist, Charlotte Hale is the Executive Director of the Delos Board.	”
–Aeden, http://delosdestinations.com/

Charlotte Hale is a recurring character in Season One and a main character in Season Two of Westworld. She is the Executive Director of the board of Delos Destinations, Inc. She is later killed by Dolores, whose consciousness has been copied into a host copy of her body, which allows her to masquerade as Hale. 

Personality

Hale is very intelligent and calculating; a senior manager of a large corporation at a young age. In Season One she suggests the plan to stage a demonstration of the Hosts' instability and humiliate Ford, and she seems to be willing to go to any lengths to get Ford removed from the park.

She is comfortable using the Hosts as it suits her, she has sex with the bandit Hector and lets Clementine get beaten up to achieve her goal.

Hale can behave callously, she fires Bernard Lowe without hesitation after he takes blame for Robert Ford's faulty code.

She dresses carefully and is often seen adjusting her hair, or checking her reflection.

Plot

• Season 3 (as host)

Host Hale

“	You wanted to live forever, be careful what you wish for.	”
–Dolores Abernathy, whilst wearing the host body, just before she kills Hale.

A host replica of Charlotte Hale was created by Bernard Lowe to carry a version of Dolores Abernathy, who he had "killed" in the Forge. Whilst not identified as Dolores initially, Dolores killed the real Charlotte Hale and assumed her identity. Returning to the mainland, Dolores built her own body using the construction machine at Arnold's house and transferred her control unit into it.

Later, an unknown host was seen masquerading as Hale, assuming her position as executive of the Delos Board in a bid to take the company private on behalf of the real Dolores.

Relationships

Bernard Lowe

Despite firing him without hesitation when he takes the blame for a software upgrade that went wrong, Hale appears to trust Bernard when physical danger threatens. This is until she discovers his true nature as a host and relentlessly tortures him to gain information.

Hector Escaton

Hale has Hector sent to her and has sex with him in her room. He appears to be a favourite of hers.

Man in Black

Hale had a working relationship with William, with a high level of trust between the two. William trusted Hale enough for him to pass his executive powers to her whilst seeking to find the centre of the maze. He is unaware, however, that Hale is the mole within Delos.

Theresa Cullen

Theresa and Charlotte work together to get Ford removed from the park. They seem to be on good terms, having long meetings to formulate plans. It's notable that Hale deliberately makes Cullen uncomfortable by answering the door to her room naked, having just had sex with the host Hector.

Trivia

• Hale was the mole within Delos, acting as both the mole and its executive director.
• The host version of Hale is known on-set as "Halores" — an amalgamation of "Hale" and "Dolores" — to distinguish Thompson's performance from both her own character and Evan Rachel Wood's character.
  • Wood consulted heavily on Thompson's performance, providing audio recordings of herself reading Halores's lines and offering tips on some of Dolores's movements which Thompson emulated.
