Sector 102 // Character Fact Files- Chapman Pincher
Welcome to a Sector 102 Character Fact File. Before I inform you about the character, I want to discuss the model. It was produced in 1985 by Games Workshop to go alongside their Judge Dredd role-playing game. Apart from being named "Chapman Pincher," I struggled to find any other links to a 2000 AD storyline. So, who is this Chapman Pincher, and where did he come from? If you have more info on this character, please share it with me by commenting below. The only link I could find to him was the Chapman Pincher Block that appears in the Block Wars story arc, so I believe this model is meant to represent one of the block's residents.
So I'm making up my fluff for the model, so here goes.

Not much is known about Chapman Pincher or his past. This could be down to two reasons.
Chapman is an illegal immigrant from the Cursed Earth, possibly sneaking in on a boat through the lower city waterfronts. However, the lack of noticeable genetic mutation suggests it's not this.
Chapman is from the Undercity, this is possibly more likely due to Chapman's preference for night time killings. Some suggest he escaped during the Block Wars, fled to the Undercity, still inflicted with Block Mania, and has finally returned (ref. Chapman Pincher Block).
Wherever he is from, Chapman is in trouble—first spotted by spy cameras, looting victims’ bodies following the last Swamp Skunks gang fight. It is possible Chapman was just taking the opportunity of the violence, or maybe he's a perp for hire. Either way, Chapman has since gone on to murder and rob five more perps and citizens. Worst yet, he seems to be eating the ears of victims. Extremely dangerous and unhinged, Chapman is to be approached with extreme caution.
