Chester is a shopkeeper who resides in the tavern beneath the village, who sells relics to Shovel Knight. Initially he sells just the Fishing Rod and the Chaos Sphere but for every Order of No Quarter stage Shovel Knight clears he expands his wares with a new relic. Alternatively, Chester can be found hidden throughout the Order of No Quarter stages where he will sell the stage's relic at a discount.
In Plague of Shadows, it is revealed that the Relics he sells to Shovel Knight have been obtained from Plague Knight, who finds them first in each stage, but deems those as "useless relics", and is offered to trade them for Arcana that Chester has in his possession.
Appearance
Chester wears white and blue clothing somewhat resembling a blend between a pirate and fortune teller. He has a teal headband that covers his eyes, and hairbands on his locks, as well as a teal binding and boot lining. His pants and gloves are a navy blue, matching his hair, and he wears a white tunic. He wears gold bangles, rings, a gold necklace, and golden ornaments on the hem of his tunic. He is often seen standing on his large light blue chest with golden lining, arms in his pants.

Trivia
- Chester's name is based off the fact he delves into chests and sells treasure.
- In the Iron Whale, Chester gets caught in the Giant Anglerfish's lure, which looks exactly like his chest. It's possible that it got stuck there somehow, but it's more likely that the chest is to lure humans in to feed on.
- However in Plague of Shadows, he is instead found in another blue chest in the extended area.
- The developers designed a Body Swap version for Chester, although only the main cast of Shovel of Hope had one added to the campaign.
