Chip is Miles' roommate, the first person he meets when he arrives at his new school. Chip is, in many ways, a complete contrast to Miles - short and muscular (where Miles is tall and skinny) adventurous and daring (where Miles tends to be timid and restrained), a planner and schemer (where Miles tends to be reactive) and, above all, commanding and determined (hence his nickname, The Colonel).
