Charlotte Richards was a defense attorney. Shortly after being murdered, Lucifer's Mom took on her body as a vessel while searching for him.
History
Charlotte Richards was a defense attorney at Richards and Wheeler, a high-end law firm in Beverly Hills. She was married to Elliot Richards and together they had multiple children. Charlotte was having an affair with Brad Wheeler, her partner at the firm.
Before she was murdered, she was working on a sensitive case with the FBI to bring Victor Perez's cartel down. The only other person at the firm who knew the details of the case was Liam Pickering. When Charlotte went to meet their informant, Marco Sanchez, at Hotel Gleam, Pickering murdered both of them with a screwdriver, trying to frame Jimmy the Carpenter (one of Perez's men who, unknown to Pickering, was already dead). Chloe and Lucifer investigated the case with Dan's and Ella's assistance.
In "The Good, the Bad and the Crispy", Mom departs Charlotte's body to create a new universe for herself in a void at Lucifer's suggestion. As Dan examines Charlotte's body, she awakens, surprising Lucifer. It quickly becomes clear that Mom resurrected the human Charlotte when she left and Charlotte shows no memory of her time as Mom. She is last seen being taken away by paramedics who believe she fell off the Santa Monica Pier as the reason for her confusion.
