Charles de Gaulle is a figure who will turn out to be the angel Abdiel and who will attempt to reverse the direction of the earth's spin - or so claims a 1965 prediction of Hamish Runcet (Saint Fidgeta and Other Parodies, 104).

Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle was a French general and statesman. He was the leader of Free France (1940–1944) and the head of the Provisional Government of the French Republic (1944–1946). In 1958, he founded the Fifth Republic and was elected as the President of France, a position he held until his resignation in 1969. He was the dominant figure of France during the Cold War era and his memory continues to influence French politics[1].
