[edit] ACME

[edit] The Chief

Main article: Chief (Carmen Sandiego)

The Chief differs from program to program. The most notable is the live action Chief depicted by Lynne Thigpen. Another version of The Chief, featured in Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?, the TV series and in Carmen Sandiego: Junior Detective Edition is a computerized image which almost has references to Max Headroom (In this incarnation, he was still a sentient entity, having risen through the ranks of ACME from an agent {complete with robotic body} and partner to then-detective Carmen Sandiego at one time). There are other versions, such as the Chief featured in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego: Treasures of Knowledge (2002 Edition) , but most only appear once. The Chief is not featured in Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge, Carmen Sandiego Word Detective, Carmen Sandiego Math Detective. In Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums, The Chief looks similar to Lynne Thigpen... perhaps a tribute to her.

[edit] Protagonist characters

[edit] Ivy

Ivy has multiple black belts in the martial arts. She's an expert pilot and has razor sharp crime tracking skills. She's more driven than her brother Zack is, and gets frustrated very easily. Ivy's last name is unknown. Ivy was featured in Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? and in Carmen Sandiego: Junior Detective Edition. Voiced by actress Jennifer Hale.

[edit] Zack

Zack has a photographic memory and can speak 35 languages. He is a kid genius who knows millions of facts. He manages to be a cool, floppy haired, baggy clothed, skate boarding teen, and takes cases less seriously than his sister Ivy does. Zack's given name is "Zackary", and his last name is unknown. Zack was featured in Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? and in Carmen Sandiego: Junior Detective Edition. Voiced by actor Scott Menville.

[edit] Chase Devineaux

Chase Devineaux is featured in Carmen Sandiego Word Detective, Carmen Sandiego Math Detective and Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge and is voiced by Pat Fraley. His last name is pronounced "dev-in-no."

In all three of these games, Chase fulfills the role typically held by the Chief in Carmen Sandiego products in sending the user off on missions and such. It is made clear that he is not actually the Chief since in Carmen Sandiego Word Detective and Carmen Sandiego Math Detective the user occationally receives messages from an unseen Chief. However, whereas he appears "in person" in Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge, he communicates with the user electronically in the other two games. Chase also informs the user of clues he's found throughout the course of the game. He is often shown to be speaking to the user from an exotic location in which he is presumably hunting for clues.

Chase was one of Carmen Sandiego's partners when she was at ACME. After Carmen left ACME, Chase Devineaux had to go undercover and started working separately from ACME. He started working with ACME again on the Babble-On-Machine Case (depicted in Carmen Sandiego Word Detective) and has since become an ACME Special Agent. In Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge, he is stated to be "ACME's top agent." Chase has red hair and he seems to be around the same age as Carmen. He has a pet falcon named "Phoenix" whom can usually be seen on his shoulder in Carmen Sandiego Word Detective and Carmen Sandiego Math Detective. Phoenix does not appear in Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge.

[edit] Jules Argent

Julia "Jules" Argent was another one of Carmen Sandiego's former partners and considers her to be the best agent ACME ever had. Julia is experienced with Carmen Sandiego's methods and is full of facts. She keeps a journal to keep track of clues. Julia Argent was featured in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego: Treasures of Knowledge (2002 Edition), and Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums.

[edit] Shadow Hawkins

Shadow Hawkins was so arrogant when he started his first assignment, that he thought he could, "catch that ACME traitor and be home in time for dinner." As the case went on though, it became clear, even to him, that Carmen Sandiego wasn't easy to catch. Shadow Hawkins seems to believe gadgets are the answer to everything. Shadow Hawkins was featured in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego: Treasures of Knowledge (2002 Edition), and Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums.

[edit] Cole Gannon

Cole Gannon (age 17) trained in ACME to be a secret agent after school and on weekends, for 1 year when he had the chance to go after Carmen Sandiego in his first "official" mission. He's a computer genius and a martial arts expert, but he's a little overconfident and doesn't seem to fear very much (ACME is still working with him on this.) In combat, Cole Gannon uses a staff. Cole Gannon was featured in Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums.

Lee Jordan - Lee Jordan is the only ACME agent to have "officially" captured Carmen Sandiego. He went on hiatus from ACME for an indeterminate amount of time, during which his outlook on his career took a drastic turn. Embittered by his fame and the lack of challenge the concept of fighting crime had become, he quit working for ACME and sought out Carmen Sandiego in order to train to be a V.I.L.E. agent. However, his impulsive and unscrupulous nature clashed greatly with Carmen Sandiego's more refined, pessimistic approach and he was fired. Infuriated by this, he joined the ranks of former V.I.L.E. agents who sought to usurp Carmen Sandiego from her title as 'the world's greatest thief'. He was foiled twice in this endeavor, both by the combined efforts of ACME and Carmen Sandiego, but still remains hostile, violent, and dangerous. Unlike Carmen Sandiego, he sees nothing against putting another person's life in danger to further his own gain, and has even kidnapped and used a hostage (industrialist Malcolm Avalon, whom Carmen Sandiego believes might be her biological father) as blackmail to force Carmen Sandiego into working for him. Lee Jordan was featured in Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?.
