The first thing it does is set up the overarching conflict. Their friend brought them here and now he's the big bad. Beat him, convince him (or, more likely, 'convince' him) and they can all go home.pic.twitter.com/BVDqNDzRWh

Gillen has this way of putting together characters, where he stacks a couple of layers of archetype (god/popstar, or in this case types of player/D&D class) on top of a more realistic personality, that might line up or rub against those archetypes in an interesting way.

Chuck is a Fool, Gillen's deconstruction of the Bard class. He's also that player who turns up just wanting a good time, and refuses to treat the game too seriously.pic.twitter.com/kSpWqGix8H

That bottom layer of characterisation (the 'real person') hasn't really shone through for most of DIE's cast yet. But Chuck is clearly drawn, in big bold lines that say 'Bastard'.pic.twitter.com/Lq13Vtc8xW

Gillen has a tradition of including one self-deprecating portrait of the artist as a young monster in his casts (cf. Kohl, Baphomet). Chuck seems to be the fear that he's actually Garth Marenghi.pic.twitter.com/1rspMNYhlq
