History
Early Life
Chett was born in Hag's Mire, in the Riverland. He worked with his father, collecting leeches to sell to Maesters. Girls didn't like him because of the many boil son his face. He thought a girl named Bessa might be willing to sleep with him, so he collected flowers for her. However, she refused, so he stabbed her repeatedly. He was arrested and sent to the wall by Walder Rivers.
A Game of Thrones
Chett was a Steward for Maester Aemon. His job was to take care of Aemon's daily needs. However, Jon appealed to Aemon to make Samwell Tarly his Steward. Aemon and Jeor Mormont agreed and Chett was sent to work in the kennels instead. Chett was furious about this change in position, and hated both Jon and Sam. He brought the dogs to investigate two Night's Watch Brothers, who turned into Wights.
A Clash of Kings
Chett was taken on the great rangings along with the dogs. Jon heard Chett and Lark the Sisterman planning a mutiny, but he decided not to report it.
A Storm of Swords
Chett was planning a mutiny along with thirteen other rangers, including Clubfoot Karl and several others. They planned to escape before they fought against Mance Rayder and the Wildlings. His plan was to kill several high ranking members of the Night's Watch, including Jeor Mormont, and then escape. Chett planned on killing Samwell Tarly personally. Chett planned on returning to Craster's cabin, killing him, and raping his daughters/wives.
Once it stated to snow, Chett realized his plan was doomed, as they woul dbe too easy to track. However, he planned to kill Sam out of spite. He stood over Sam, planning on killing him, when the horn was blown three times, indicating that the The Others weree attacking.
At some point, Chett was killed by the Others and came back as a wight. Chett and several other Wights tried to kill Sam and Gilly, but they were rescued by Coldhands.
Legacy
While Chett died before the Night's Watch returned to Craster's cabin, many of his conspirators were responsible for the mutiny at Craster's cabin and the murder of Jeor Mormont. As such, Chett is largely responsible for the events that unfolded there.
