Who is Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl?

I'm Chuck Bass. · The Upper East Side

Chuck Bass (I'm Chuck Bass.) is a character in Gossip Girl, part of The Upper East Side. Chuck Bass needs only the introduction he gives himself: scarf, smirk, limitless Bass Industries credit and an opening-episodes rap sheet the show spends years living down. Raised by a father who treats affection as a hostile takeover, Chuck performs depravity because it's the only Bass product line he was licensed to run. The crack in the lacquer is Blair Waldorf — the one game he can't play to win without becoming, inconveniently, a person.
