Chapel is one of the leading members of the Eye of Michael, an organization of assassins founded by a church that worships Plants and Knives. His true name is never given, and he is only ever identified by his title "Chapel" or as "Master C." He is the one who trained Nicholas the Punisher, Livio the Double Fang, and Razlo the Tri-Punisher of Death. Chapel was selected to become one of the original Gung-Ho Guns, but before the story began, he was shot and left as a paraplegic by Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who planned to enter the Gung-Ho Guns as Chapel to kill Knives, a betrayal that Chapel could never forgive.
