“Deconstruction” Character Preview — Socrates Chappelle
Beth Harper runs into another United States senator in book 3, Deconstruction. Coincidence? This time, it is Socrates Chappelle, the senior senator from Colorado. Chappelle is known for helping corporations in his home state, including WarTech.
Once an underdog, Chappelle is now an entrenched Washington politician, but he is in the midst of a heated reelection campaign against a well-funded opponent. Sapphire Angel, the biggest star in the country, is in town, and Chappelle can think of no better way to boost his poll numbers than to be seen with her. Beth’s friend Eric is a big fan of the senator, as the senator is known for being honest and on the right side of most issues.
Physically, Chappelle is a big man with a commanding presence, but not in an intimidating way. His large size is offset by warm eyes, and a frequent smile or deep chuckle. The press frequently describes him as “the gregarious senator from Colorado.” He has dark hair, streaked with gray at his temples, and a face with a large and pronounced bone structure.
