Chuck Bass

Chuck Bass


Cynical, world-weary and suave, Chuck has no qualms about living life on the edge. He possesses near-sociopathic tendencies of abusing and manipulating others who get in his way. The childhood best friend of Nate, his reputation of womanizing and a patron of baser habits make them complete opposites. He is the only son of Bart Bass, and his mother is deceased. Portrayed firstly as the ‘bad boy’ of the group, Chuck demonstrates a nicer side in the succeeding episodes when he lends Nate $10,000 to get out of a shady poker game, falls in love with Blair, and acts as a surprisingly supportive stepbrother to Serena and her brother Eric. He and Blair finally become a couple towards the end of season 1, yet Chuck’s insecurities and fear to let anyone close cause him to leave Blair waiting at the helipad on their supposed trip to Europe. In season 2, Chuck’s activities revolve mainly around winning Blair back, realizing who he is and struggling with his devious nature.
