Within Rooster Teeth[]

For a stretch of Extra Life 2017 Chad was the host. He ended up taking two pommel horse whacks during that stretch.

Chad once declined an offered taco from Michael; while he was busy working on the Great Microwave Heist the Hunters went and nicked his entire desk (sans Michael and the Battle Buddies, who were working on keeping John Mace (the reason for the microwave heist to begin with) distracted). During the heist he revealed he was familiar with the Fakeout Escape trope when, returning from a snack run with Barbara, there was no sign of Sam in the equipment cage (Chad suspected Sam was still in there, but hidden). Sam was originally not supposed to be in the equipment cage to begin with; Hector, who showed up a little late, was but managed to talk Chad out of putting him in there (Chad successfully locked Sam in with a distraction).
