Chip Schacter

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

- Ben describing Chip in Spy School

Chip Schacter is a 5th year student at the Academy, and was the second student Ben met when he first arrived on campus. Chip had tried to get 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 in the first book, Ben shows major disrespect for the principal (in order for Erica to access the mainframe), which Chip found cool. Chip now respects Ben and has become part of his friend group.

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

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.

However, before Chip was recruited to Spy School, he attended an arts academy, where he specialized in acting, singing, tap dance, and playing the oboe. During his time at Spy School he tries to blackmail everyone there to cheat for him. Sometimes, he can be violent and impertinent.
