A man in his mid-late
40's who spends most of his spare
time at the beach. Often seen wearing an army cap, aviators and
short swimming shorts.
Usually in pretty good physical condition, he is fully aware of this and likes to show it off. The Master
Chief will do this by spending the majority of the day standing up with his arms folded, casually observing everything that goes on around him as if he's the master of all he surveys.
It is for this reason that some have also come to describe the Master
Chief as the Master of the Beach.
The Master
Chief may or
may not be married. In cases where Master
Chief is married, his wife will often sit on the beach for the majority of the day with the couples offspring and not communicate with her husband unless he speaks to her first.
In cases where Master
Chief is not married he will move from spot to spot on the beach and quietly observe. It is this behaviour which highlights the difference between the un-married Master
Chief and the Archetypal Old Mate, as the Old Mate will move from spot to spot on the beach and actively seek to engage others in (often unwanted) communication.
The first Master Chiefs were originally found in France in the latter part of the 20th Century but since then have spread to every continent in the world.
