Chet Mason is one of the Signature Characters from Orpheus, as well as a Storyteller character. One of the older agents at Orpheus, Chet started his career as soon as he graduated from high school by joining the Army as soon as he could. He was sent to Vietnam several years later as an "advisor". While there, he watched the horrible corruption; drugs, graft, and massacres, which were all part of everyday living. Chet became disillusioned with life as he watched this go on, day by day, while the fat cat politicians at home did nothing to help or improve the situation. Chet ended up with six Purple Hearts before he was honorably discharged and returned home.
