"If you'd asked me to design the prototypical spy-to-be, I would've drawn him."

—Ben describing Chip in Spy School

Defusing Chip Schacter is a fifth year student at the Academy, and was the second student Ben met when he first arrived on campus. Throughout the first book he is a bully to him, but Chip now respects Ben and has become part of his friend group.

Biography

Before Chip was recruited to Spy School, he attended an arts academy. He specialized in acting, singing, tap dance, and playing the oboe, and even Erica says he was quite good.

Appearance & Personality

"The kid in the hall looked as though he'd stepped off the cover of a glossy magazine."

—Ben describing Chip in Spy School

Defusing

Chip looks like the quintessential spy-to-be, with perfectly coiffed brown hair, a chiseled jaw, and broad shoulders. He is very strong, works out a lot, and often uses his menacing attitude to bully younger students.

Chip is essentially a bully, tough and manipulative. He roams the school with his two thugs, Greg Hauser and Kirsten Stubbs. He tries to blackmail everyone to cheat for him. Sometimes, he can be violent and impertinent.

Skills & Abilities

Chip is very skilled in hand to hand combat; coupled with his strength and sneakiness, he makes a formidable agent. He is great at imitating voices, and can also sing, dance, and play the oboe. He learned these acting skills at an arts academy.

Missions

Chip was activated officially only once, for Operation Snow Bunny, but he has participated in and aided other missions as well:

• Operation Angry Jackal
• Operation Snow Bunny
• Operation Pungent Muskrat
• Operation Screaming Vengeance
• Operation Sneaky Monkey

Spy School

Chip tried to force Ben to hack into the CIA Mainframe for test answers, but was stopped by Murray Hill with a Van De Graaf electrostatic generator. Later on, Ben shows major disrespect for the principal (in order for Erica to access the mainframe), which Chip found cool.
