I feel like Occam's Razor should be applied here: the best solution to any problem is usually the simplest -- the one that makes the fewest assumptions.

Now, completely banning Charles is rather problematic, as now he cannot edit his pages in the Aoshtai Galaxy fictionspace -- which has recently been declared canon to the main Fiction Universe if I recall right. Assuming he remains banned, and assuming he suggests things to us involved in Aoshtai for us to make edits, this will create problems on both ends. Firstly, the moderation/administration team would be faced with whether or not these proxy edits count as sock-puppeting, and if they do, may ban well-intentioned users, which would create FURTHER drama than has already been made today. Secondly, it would be incredibly difficult for Charles to format pages as they are, considering wiki format isn't exactly something you often think of when just writing down text. Thirdly, it would be difficult for the proxy editors themselves, having to listen to Charles' suggestions and edit them in, as that makes it an unnecessarily long process for editing, takes time away from their own Aoshtai-centered fictions, and runs the risk of their banning on account of possible sock-puppetry.

Now, I mentioned Occam's Razor. Frankly, this case-by-case basis Technobliterator mentioned could factor in, as I have an Occamic solution. Keep Charles banned from the main SporeWiki server, but unblock him from this wiki, so that he may continue to participate in fullest capacity in the SporeWiki Fiction Universe, causing no stoppages and allowing him to participate within the Aegis Cluster discord server as an active member rather than work from the shadows. This would likely cause the least amount of drama, and would allow the existing and invaluable infrastructure of the wiki to be utilized.
