Chet Shaft

Chet Shaft, formerly The Ghost of Christmas Shaft,is a character in the Scott The Woz series. He is the former manager of the video game store Games on a Shelf, and adviser to the new employee, Scott Wozniak. He later appears in The Great Mysteries of Gaming as the dinner party host, and later gets murdered by Steel Wool. He subsequently becomes The Ghost of Christmas Shaft following his death and advises Scott in It's a Bargain Bin Christmas. He then returns in The Gifts Of Gaming. He is played by Will Kanwischer.

Personality
Chet is very manipulative, persuading Scott to give him a good report on a manager form, pushing him to start advertising pre-orders, and so on. He also has a high temper, as he starts to freak out when he tells Scott about how the store is going to go under. He is later seen to become more welcoming and less forcing, this is most likely because of him leaving Games on a Shelf.

In Game Stores
Throughout the episode, Chet teaches Scott about the basics of running a game store and tries to get more sales through pre-orders. Scott takes his advise haphazardly and pushed pre-orders to the customers. Near the end of the episode, Chet informs Scott the store isn't making enough money, as he starts to get angrier, he scares Scott into quitting.

In The Great Mysteries of Gaming
Scott finds an invitation in his closet from Chet to make up for their previous outage at Games on a Shelf. When Scott gets to his house, he finds out the Terry Lesler, Jeb Jab, Wendy's Employee, Steel Wool, and Rex Mohs have some sort-of connection to Chet in the past.

Suddenly, a TV turns on which shows a live recording of Shaft, somewhere else. He explains that he has some prior obligations to take care of, but welcomes the guests to try all the food provided.

Shaft returns to thank the guests for their services, specifically thanking Scott Wozniak for getting him fired. Suddenly, the lights turn off and come back on, only to see Shaft murdered and lying on the floor.

Shaft's death would serve as the catalyst for the rest of the episode, as the group tries to figure out who the murderer was. Near the end of the episode, Scott Wozniak finds out Steel Wool was the one who murdered everyone, starting with Shaft. Steel Wool says Shaft deserved it as he was apparently laundering money from someone. Scott Wozniak claims that Shaft, along with everyone else, is currently getting treated a hospital.

In It's a Bargain Bin Christmas
After upsetting the murderees of the Foundation for Recent Murderees, Scott Wozniak storms outside the building where the charity was held, where he is greeted by Shaft, now sporting a ghost-like appearance. Shaft explains that unlike the others he didn't recover from being murdered and is now known as The Ghost of Christmas Shaft.

After explaining how Scott Wozniak wasn't helping the murderees due to being kind, rather, how it was for self-profit, Shaft leads Wozniak to the new owner of his desk, where he shows Wozniak how selling his desk helped someone else.

After Wozniak puts the copies of Madden NFL 08 for the PSP, PC, Mac, and the copy of EA Sports 08 Collection he received from the murderees along with his other Madden NFL 08 copies, Wozniak receives a new desk from Shaft and Vince Young as a Christmas present.

In Memory Cards
Shaft makes a brief cameo in a scene where he was reaching his hand out of his grave, with Steel Wool doing that same. This scene was in reference to Scott talking about how pumpkins can possess almost anything, similar to how his Wii got possessed. It's possible that both Wool and Shaft's dead corpses were possessed and resurrected by pumpkins.

In Sonic & Knuckles | Locked and Loaded
When Scott is complaining about Sandopolis Zone Act 2, he says that the ghosts in the level make it more annoying. Then a short cameo of The Ghost of Chet Shaft appears as Scott is saying how ghosts make everything worse.

In Gaming Revivals
Chet Shaft is resurrected by Scott Wozniak on complete accident while resurrecting Scott's Financial Stability. Chet Shaft could tell he was brought back by some kind of cult behavior that being Rex Mohs' cult. Scott is later told about the 3rd resurrection by Kay Swiss but doesn't know who was resurrected.

In The Gifts of Gaming
Chet Shaft arrives at New Locationer McGee after being called over by Jerry Attricks, while he appears late he still gives Scott his present while being asked how he came back, he also mentions that Steel Wool has apologized for murdering him. Scott's present, that being Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, reminded Chet of Scott's last name, because both have the letter A in it.
