Chipacles

Chipacles is a minor recurring character of the Disney animated series, Hercules. He is a city-state trooper for the Athens P.D.
==Background==
===Personality===
Since he is an officer of the law, Chipacles takes it very seriously and holds his job and duty in high regard. He does not tolerate those who break it and openly shows animosity to those he considers criminals. He sticks to following clues and evidence to uncover the truth behind an investigation. However, he can sometimes jump to conclusions such as when he believed that Phil was responsible for the attempted assassination of Pericles, the leader of Athens, and refuses to look any further into the investigation, showing his stubbornness.
Although Phil was proven innocent, Chipacles continued to show open hostility to him and, to a lesser extent, Hercules. But after properly getting to know the two of them along with witnessing the hero-in-training's bravery, Chipacles acknowledges that he was wrong about them (showing a willingness to admit to his mistakes). Chipacles also shows a lot of respect and admiration for his superiors, particularly to his teacher, Mentor. Chipacles also showed a more emotional side when Mentor was kidnapped by Hecate and was determined to save him, especially after Hecate had magically stolen his toughness.
==Role in the series==
In "Hercules and the Assassin", Chipacles is protecting Pericles, the leader of Athens, when threats being made against him and is determined to find the person behind the attacks. However, he later arrests Phil when his spear is used in a assassination attempt, unaware he is being framed for the crime. Chipacles refuses to listen to Hercules when he tries to explain the misunderstanding and sets out to prove Phil's innocence alongside Tempest. Phil is later proven innocent when the real culprit is revealed to be Minister Clion.
In "Hercules and the Disappearing Heroes", during a retirement party for his beloved teacher, Mentor, he is devastated when he is kidnapped by Hecate. He later works together with Hercules and Phil to stop her and rescue the other kidnapped heroes, but he continues to show animosity toward Phil and Hercules (the former especially) from their previous encounter and still sees them as a criminal and punk respectively. By the end of the episode (after Hecate's defeated and everyone's been rescued), Chipacles acknowledges that he misjudged Herc and Phil and becomes nicer to them.
