Bail Channis is a fictional character from Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series.

He is described as a handsome and popular character, very self-confident and intelligent.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Mule chooses Channis to accompany General Han Pritcher on a search for the Second Foundation. The Mule tells Pritcher that he has chosen Channis for the task because he, the Mule, has chosen not to tamper with Channis's mind, thus leaving Channis more capable of making intuitive leaps which might lead him to his goal.

In fact, the Mule has already determined that Channis is a member of the Second Foundation, and that he is attempting to lead the Mule into a trap. The Mule intendes to use this knowledge to set a trap of his own.

Channis leads the search to Tazenda, which is a plausible place for the Second Foundation to be located. However, the Second Foundation is not there, and the search continues. The search eventually leads to Rossem as the home world of the Second Foundation. There, the Second Foundation springs its trap in a manner which proves a complete surprise to both Channis and the Mule.
