==Biography==
Glen is the son of Chucky and Tiffany Valentine. They were born, unknowingly along with their twin siter, Glenda, though for some reason she remained very dormant in her brother. They first appeared in Bride of Chucky, being born out of a dying Tiffany. Glen apparently killed the detective who witnessed them, but its been shown that unlike, their parents, Glen does not kill people mainly because he sees it is wrong, so its possible that Glenda may have temporarily taken over and attacked the detective. Glen was found by a punk rock ventriloquist that named them Shitface. He was performing as a dummy and faced verbal abuse for six years as he was kept in a cage, and even threatened to be killed. Glen appears in the last scene of the movie a few moments before Tiffany went back to her lifeless state. The detective who discovered Tiffany's dead body screams in horror as a red, bloody, sharp-toothed baby appears, screeching, and attacks him.
===Seed of Chucky===
When Chucky finds out Glen is actually their child, he faints. When Chucky and Tiffany can't agree on the gender of their child (due to the fact he is not anatomically correct, unlike their parents). Chucky believes he's a boy and gives them the name Glen, while Tiffany calls her Glenda. Soon after, Chucky and Tiffany decide to quit their murdering habits to set a good example for the child doll. Chucky later arranges a "boys' night out" for him and Glen. With Glen working the pedals and Chucky steering. Chucky encourages them to put their full weight on the pedal so he crashes into Britney Spears' car. The photographer that took the pictures of Chucky, Jennifer Tilly and Redman was Chucky's next victim. Glen tries to stop them but the photographer is startled by Glen's appearance and hits a shelf where sculpture acid falls on him, killing him. Chucky is thrilled by that and sets up a camera to take picture of themselves (him and Glen) beside the dead photographer. As soon as Tiffany discovers the photo, she is furious, but Chucky states that Glen is "the most promising killer" he's ever seen and Tiffany should be proud of them. Chucky believes she's "poisoning their son's mind." Chucky calls Glen a "multi-talented kid" which is shown when Glen and Chucky were fighting in the hospital and Chucky was hit in the chest with their axe, He first thought it was Glenda who attacked but it was in fact Glen. At the end of the film, when Glen has seemingly killed Chucky and taken over a human body, he is attacked by Chucky's severed arm. However it’s later revealed he survived.
==Other appearances==
On the special features of Seed of Chucky DVD, Chucky, Tiffany and Glen are on a sofa in their family home, they are watching a slideshow of their holiday to various places. Nearly all of these places have evidence of Chucky having killed someone. This annoys Tiffany and makes Glen feel sick. The show ends with a pizza delivery guy at the door and Chucky answering. He says he's left their wallet in the garage with their power tools and asks the guy to come there with them. The delivery guy foolishly enough follows Chucky and suffers badly at Chucky's hands with a chainsaw. Chucky discusses their past with Glen, mentioning their encounters with Andy Barclay (Child's Play 1 , 2 and 3), and Jesse and Jade (Bride of Chucky), and tells them someday they will eventually track them down and get their evil revenge. The special features of the Seed of Chucky DVD also include Chucky and Tiffany being interviewed by the Fusion journalist to promote the movie, and on the section "Conceiving the Seed of Chucky", Chucky, Tiffany, Glen, the cast and makers of the film are also interviewed.
==Relationships==
=== Chucky and Glen ===
Chucky found it highly amusing when he first discovered Glen's former name was, Shitface. However, as soon as he notices he and Glen have the same "made in Japan" markings on their wrists, he can't believe Glen is actually their child, and faints. When Chucky and Tiffany can't agree on the gender of their child, Chucky believes he's a boy who hasn't had their growth spurt yet, even comforting them and he also gives them the name, Glen. Chucky arranges a "boys night out" for them and Glen. With Glen working the pedals and Chucky steering, the two hijack a car and Chucky encourages them to put their full weight on the pedal so he crashes into Britney Spears car when it promptly explodes. A photographer took pictures of Chucky and Glen. Glen tries to stop them but the photographer is startled by their appearance and hits the shelf where sulfuric acid falls on them, burning them and quickly killing them. Chucky is thrilled by ttheir asks Glen to keep ttheir as their secret while he sets up a camera to take a picture of them beside the dying photographer. When Tiffany discovers the photo. she is furious. But Chucky states that Glen is "the most promising killer" he's ever seen and Tiffany would have been proud of them. He also gets angry when Tiffany tells Glen she's proud of them for not wanting to be a killer. Chucky believes she's "poisoning our son's mind". Glen chooses not to kill unlike their mother and father and shows a huge desire not to kill. When Chucky decides to remain a doll and says he has everything he wants he calls Glen a "Multi-talented kid" possibly accepting the fact that he may have a daughter. This was shown when Glen and Chucky were fighting in the hospital and Chucky was hit in the chest with an axe, he first thought it was Glenda who attacked them but in fact Glen and when Glen asks "Are you proud of me yet Daddy" Chucky proudly exclaims "Atta Boy" before being killed. Glen, realizing what he has done, cries, while Jennifer Tilly/Tiffany comforts them. At the end of the film, When Glen has killed Chucky, he still has the photograph Chucky themself took 5 years earlier and is happily looking at it (possibly indicating that he still loved their Dad and just wanted to have a memory of them, likely because after killing them in rage, he felt lots of regret). He was later shocked by Chucky's severed arm, which was anonymously sent, at a birthday party for them and their twin sister, Glenda. Soon after, Chucky's arm reached up and started to strangle Glen.
=== Tiffany and Glen/Glenda===
Tiffany doesn't remember giving birth to the child originally called "Shitface". After it becomes apparent ttheir new doll (from Seed of Chucky) is hers and Chucky's offspring, they set about determining a gender - the child though, unlike Chucky (as we learned in Bride of Chucky) is not anatomically correct. The disagreement over the gender causes the doll to be renamed both Glen and Glenda, the latter by Tiffany.
When Tiffany learns of her parenthood, she is eager to quit killing as it is apparent it upsets her new child. However, when unable to do so, she and Glen have "a little secret", so Chucky will not learn of her weakness.
Later we learn that Shitface has a split personality, shown through torturous dreams and exposure to violence. The doll becomes both Glen, quiet and kind the way Tiffany meant to set an example of, and Glenda - more "like mother, like daughter" - a violent killer who copies Tiffany's style.
When Tiffany finally manages to transfer her soul back into a human body, she transfers also the two elements of her offspring into twin babies.
===Glenda===
Glen shares a doll body with their sister named Glenda who, in doll form, appears in a blonde wig with a white frilly dress, similar to her mother's. Glenda is unusually violent and appears to even terrify Chucky, as Chucky was impressed with the murder of Joan, assistant of Jennifer Tilly. However, she's more than an alter ego. She's a real live being, since it seems that there was no real time in Tiffany's womb to conceive twins, thus it's possible Glenda's soul could have been absorbed by Glen, unintentionally in the womb, meaning there were two souls sharing the same body. That could explain why Glen's body never fully developed and why he was confused about their gender. It appears whenever Glen is overstressed or frightened, Glenda will take over her brother. That could mean that when they were born, Glenda took over her brother's body and attacked the detective and possibly the punk rock ventriloquist who kidnapped them. Another sign that she exists is when Jennifer gives birth to twins, Tiffany is able to separate the souls and put them into the twins.
====Sibling Relationship====
Glen and Glenda are as different as night and day. Glen can't stand to be violent, where Glenda takes complete joy in it. Not much has been shown with the two as the two have never really understood the other's existence. When 5 years have past since Tiffany had made the switch. Despite their, Glenda's attitude and behavior hasn't changed, so much so that it scares one of the maids that works for Tiffany. She praises Glen for being a complete angel. No one really knows if the relationship between the two has changed. It appears that Glenda hasn't done much harm to Glen. But it doesn't mean she'll spare them from her tricks.
When Glen opens the present, he sees it's Chucky's right arm. Most likely indicating Glenda might have found it and sent it to her own brother to terrify. When he turns around, Chucky's arm grabs them and he begins screaming while Chucky's evil laugh is heard.
==Personality==
Glen was completely opposite from their father Chucky and their twin sister, Glenda. Even though he was Chucky's son, who was cruel, malevolent and sadistic, Glen is strikingly meek, kind and compassionate. their parents had their different reactions to their gentle nature. Chucky felt so disappointed to have a son who's not a "killer" as them, whilst Tiffany, who was ashamed of being a murderer, felt so proud of having a child with no intention of killing. At one point, Psychs, a famous ventriloquist, tells their story to everyone that the "fucker" (he called Glen in the Ventriloquist Competition), tried to rip their throat out, which is in unnatural fact, Glenda was the one who did it, not Glen.
When Glen is seen in the possession of Psychs, he is around 6 years old. He is quite mature for their age and their speech is far more similar to an adult. Ttheir makes Glen appear to be a highly intelligent child.
He can be naive, however. After the family conversation, he believed that their father and mother made their promise not to kill anymore, which they never did. He admits he "was tearing apart" when he learned that both of their parents lied to each other. At the ending scene during their 5th birthday as a human, he believed that their father 'really' loved them, even though he knew he was going to kill them back in the hospital. He can also be frightened very easily, causing them to urinate in their pants frequently and twitching their left eye. Ttheir was possibly due to the combination of a harsh childhood in the hands of Ventriloquist, their isolation from the society, and their discovery of their parents' true identities. Yet on the other hand, he can become enraged whenever their loved ones were in trouble or being killed. For instance when Tiffany was killed cruelly by Chucky, Glen fought back and did not hesitate to chop their father in retaliation.
Even though he grew up in abuse and humiliation, Glen never lost their good attitude, which is also contrast to Chucky. When encountering strangers, he was very polite. The respectful words such as "Pardon me," or "Excuse me" were their best choice. If he did a mistake, either their cause or their parents' cause, he would intently apologize.
Unlike Chucky, who loses temper quickly when being wronged, Glen didn't show any despise and hatred towards others, not even the people who surrounded them, including Psychs, who portrayed them as "Shitface" (due to their unattractive appearance). He never showed any signs of vengeance.
Due to their immense love and prolonged desire of having a family, he never left Chucky and Tiffany in spite of their wrong doings, even crying to their father's mutilated body when he killed them with an axe.
On the contrary, there might be possible changes in their personality when he becomes mature. Though that is seldom to happen, seeing how their love towards life continues, even as a human.
