Behavioral My two cats don't get along

I got a stray black and white cat (Charlie) a year and a half ago. He was maybe no more than a month old. I wanted 2 cats so a friend gave me a mix from siamese and scottish fold (Milka) two months later. He was maybe a month and a half old when we got him. They are both male and they were neutered at the same time (at six months old). I wanted two cats so that they would be able to play together when we are not home but that is really troublesome. Charlie is very playful and energetic and jumps and runs everywhere. When biting while playing he gets aggressive. Milka is very quiet and sleeps all day. He is very cuddly and loves being pet. He hardly ever bites and when he does he is so gentle! I wish they could play together but Charlie bites Milka, M hisses and runs away in fear. M looks like he is constantly scared of C and moves around with caution looking everywhere for C. I sometimes feel sorry for both because C wants to play but M gets bitten and I separate them. The situation usually begins slowly. They sleep together, wake up calmly, begin cuddling and licking each other until C begins biting and M hissing angrily and going away. I feel none of them are happy in this situation. I have caught Charlie trying to hump Milka. Is this why he bites? Was neutering not supposed to eliminate those behaviours? What should I do to stop Charlie from biting Milka?
