[edit] Life before the Night's Watch
Chett was born around Hag's Mire. His father collected leeches and sold them to maesters. Chett learned the trade from his father. He was an ugly boy and so girls did not take interest in him. He picked flowers for a girl Bessa who had a reputation of not being picky but spurned and insulted him. Chett got so angry that he killed her. For this he was sent to the Wall.
[edit] Steward
At the wall, Chett was assigned to the Stewards. His job was to care for the ravens and old Maester Aemon. This was a rather comfortable position but it was taken away from him by Jon Snow he adviced Maester Aemon that the job was better suited for Samwell Tarly. After that Chett took care of the dogs.
[edit] Conspiracy
During the expedition to look for Benjen Stark and Ser Waymar Royce Chett conspired with other brothers to desert. To make sure they would not be caught they would have to kill some of their Night's Watch brothers:
- Lord Commander Jeor Mormont to let command go to Ser Ottyn Wythers whom they expect to withdraw to the wall instead of going after the deserters.
- Blane an officer of the Shadow Tower
- Grubbs and Aethan; the man who had drawn watch
- Dywen and Bannen to prevent them being tracked
- And Samwell Tarly to prevent a (raven-)message of the desert and killing reaching the Wall.
After the killings Chett would set the horse free and release the dogs. The dogs would frighten the horsen and run them off. Chett had not fed the dogs for a few days so they would be extra fierce. In the confusion that would follow the deserters could run off with the remaining horses and the food they had horded.
A few hours before they would set their plan into action it began to snow. Chett realized that in fresh snow they could be easily followed and could not make speed so he cancelled the plan. Instead, he wanted to kill Samwell. This plan failed as well. At the moment Chett had found Samwell a signal was blown that Others were sighted. Out of fright Chett pissed his pants.
[edit] Death
The Others attacked the Night's Watch and set them in a confused retreat to the wall. In the retreat, Chett was killed. After his death he was turned into a wight.
