Brad Chiles is the biological father of Fred Jones, Jr., and a member of the original Mystery Incorporated, who vanished twenty years ago in the Crystal Cove Caves.
He is married to Fred's birth mother, Judy Reeves, who is another member of the group. He is also Fred's original Mystery Inc. counterpart - being the leader of the his own group.
He and Judy make traps and solve mysteries under the assumed name of "Sternum and Sternum". They also have their own TV show about themselves under that name. They invented the Flattenhower 8000.
Physical appearance
As an adult, Brad's hair has gone from blond to grey/white. He has a very strong chin and greatly resembles Fred.
After undergoing plastic surgery he became Fred's exact double.
Personality
He thanks Judy every time she volunteers a detail when he speaks. He seems rather unemotional about finally getting together with his long-kidnapped son. He gets rather mad when Fred doesn't want his help. He shows a sinister side when Cassidy Williams asks him and Judy to forget about the treasure and put their son first. He says nobody will get hurt if Cassidy stays out of their way. He and Judy decide to team up with Mr. E. and Professor Pericles to get the pieces that Mystery Incorporated currently has. He is shown to care only for the treasure and he and Judy are looking at a treasure map when Cassidy asks them to put Fred first. When it comes to the Planispheric Disk, he and Judy are perfectly willing to steal from their own son, or even attempt to murder him.
History
Early life
Brad and the rest of the original Mystery Inc. went underground to the Darrow mansion but left before Danny Darrow could finish his traps. (Escape From Mystery Manor)
Brad and the rest of the original Mystery Inc. went into the old Spanish church because Brad thought he saw a figure go in there. (Pawn Of Shadows)
Brad and the rest of the original Mystery Inc. went into the caves below Crystal Cove because Pericles thought that all the Planispheric disk pieces were in a chest down there, but he tripped a trap. (All Fear the Freak)
It was revealed that Brad tried to return Crystal Cove two years later after marrying Judy and giving birth to a kid, but Fred Jones, Sr. (as the Freak of Crystal Cove) took his baby son and cast Brad out, naming the child Fred Jones, Jr. after him. Fred eventually learned this truth and went out to search for his parents.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated
Season one
Daphne Blake found Judy's locket containing the picture of her and Brad.
Mr. E had sent Scooby-Doo and the gang to find clues to solve the mystery of their disappearance.
Season two
He and Judy showed up again in Fred's life with a casual "We're back." (Web of Dreamweaver!)
They explained that they didn't come for Fred earlier because Mayor Jones threatened "bodily harm" to him. They attended a party in their honor at Daphne Blake's house. They gave Professor Pericles a hearing (with the rest of their old group) when he suggested something needed to be done about Mystery Inc. because they found the third and fourth pieces of the Planispheric Disk.
They offered to help Fred capture Hebediah Grim, and were offended when he turned them down. Eventually they did help, and their traps were a complete success.
They were happy to volunteer to steal the the pieces of the Planispheric Disk from the new Mystery Inc. for Mr. E.
They tried to steal the pieces of the Planispheric Disk from the Mystery Machine, only to be tricked by a fake copy.
They were berated for their failure by Professor Pericles, who threatened that they must get the pieces before "people get hurt." Brad for once didn't thank Judy for agreeing with him when he admitted failure.
Equipped with invisibility suits, he and Judy burned City Hall.
He fired a missile launcher at the gang's helicopter when they were leading the herd of skeleton cattle out of town. (The Horrible Herd)
He and Judy betrayed Mr. E and sided with Professor Pericles, letting Pericles inflict a crippling operation on their former friend.
He and Judy carried out an elaborate impersonation to learn the true location of the Planispheric Disk.
