Descendants
In the first film, Chad is one of the people in Auradon who dislikes the idea of the VKs (villain kids) coming to join their school. He is also on the Tourney team.

Whilst in Chemistry class he notices that Evie (daughter of The Evil Queen) seems to be very intelligent and asks her to meet him later on. The two meet and she is quite interested in hearing about his Prince life. He pretends to like her so that she will agree to do his homework for him. She also shows him her mother's magic mirror, which is what she used to get the right answer in the classroom.

Chad somehow manages to steal the mirror and takes it to their teacher to prove that Evie has been cheating. Unbeknownst to him, Evie has seen the whole thing.

After Prince Ben (son of Beast and Belle) declares his love for Mal (daughter of Maleficent), ultimately dumping his girlfriend Princess Audrey (daughter of Sleeping Beauty) and then makes Chad her new boyfriend, trying to make Ben jealous.

At the school's family day, Chad gets involved in an argument between Audrey's grandmother, Queen Leah and Mal. He tells the VKs (villain kids) that he has never trusted them and that they don't belong. Evie then turns up and gives him a sleeping potion.

During the coronation ceremony, everyone is shocked when Jane snatches the wand from her mother in order to change her appearance. Whilst she does this, the barrier surrounding the Isle of the Lost is broken. Mal manages to diffuse the situation by grabbing the wand for herself. She tells everyone in attendance that she chooses to be good rather than Evil like her mother but just then, Maleficent turns up and freezes everyone in time, except for the kids from the Isle. Mal finally stands up to her mother and shrinks her down to a small lizard using a spell, it is revealed that she has shrunk to the size of the love in her heart.

Once everyone has been unfrozen, they all celebrate at the after party and Chad dances with Lonnie (daughter of Mulan).

Descendants 2
In the second film, he is shown at practice for the Swords and Shields team. Jay (son of Jafar), is the captain and is in the middle of a 'duel'. Afterwards, the team are shocked to learn that it is Lonnie under the mask and she wants to join. Chad interferes and points out that the rules state there can't be any girls on the team.

Carlos (son of Cruella De Vil) catches Chad in his room using his new 3D scanner and it appears that it isn't the first time. Chad admits that he made a copy of the key using the scanner and that is how he gets in and out. Carlos demands he hand the key over and get out.

Later on in the film, Carlos and Jay return from the Isle of the Lost in order to create a replica of the Fairy Godmother's wand. When they get to the room, Chad is once again in there trying to make a 3D doll of himself. He learns that King Ben has been kidnapped and the group are trying to get him back.

Whilst getting ready for Cotillion, he gets a phone call from Audrey who tells him she has broken down in Sherwood Forest and asks him to go and pick her up. Chad is so excited that he has finally heard from her and rushes to help.

Descendants 3
In the third film, Chad is first seen attending Jane's (daughter of Fairy Godmother) birthday party when Audrey turns up and it is revealed that she has stolen the Queen's crown and Maleficent's scepter. She proceeds to put everyone into a deep sleep but before this Chad offers his services and asks to be a sidekick to her.

He is later seen at the Fairy Cottage with Audrey and appears to be very scared of her. He tries to leave but she locks him in the cupboard before leaving herself.

King Ben and his group of friends show up a bit later and find Chad, who asks for his 'mummy' and runs away.

Audrey is later defeated by Mal and Uma but she is sent into a coma in which only Hades can revive her from. After all is back to normal, Mal announces at her engagement party that she would like to break the barrier down once and for all. Ben agrees and everyone celebrates together.
