Born Francis William Chandler, nicknamed "Chas" after the famous Jimi Hendrix producer. He is John Constantine's longest known (and longest surviving) friends.
The Pair's friendship can be traced back all the way to the late sixties, when a young adolescent 16 year old John Constantine was spat onto the streets of London for the second time in his young life with nothing to his name but a pack of silk cut cigarettes and an overly sly and sarcastic sense of humor. When he found no success , he found himself eager and desperate to put a roof over his head, John immediately leapt at the chance to move in with his new-found friend (Chas).Chas eventually became one of John's oldest and closest friends with their relationship of pulling each others ass out of tight situations, with Chas providing the brawn and Constantine, of course, the brains.
Chas is married to Renee, who unfortunately spends the bulk of her time ragging on Chas, usually about some problem which roots back to Constantine, a man which Renee has come to dislike strongly. When Chas was possessed by Nergal and later released, enough of Nergal's taint remained to leave Chas completely uninhibited; Chas went on to have sex with an underaged hooker and beat Renee severely.
The pair have one daughter, by the name of Geraldine, who is an adult with a child of her own named Trish.
Chas eventually went on to become a taxi driver, a profession found convenient for his ever-trouble-causing friend. John always seems to use Chas as his "wheels" to transport him anywhere he is needed, whether Chas knows what is going on or not.
John often tries to keep Chas protected from the dirtier aspects of and characters in Constantine's life, for his own good. Both John and Chas often happen to part on bad terms, but one quick pint and another adventure later, and the friendship is back together as quick as it ended.
