Adam's older twin brother; Charlotte's brother.

Stuart was the identical twin brother to wealthy businessman, Adam Chandler. However, Stuart was deliberately played to be Adam's exact opposite in personality: while Adam is ruthless, unethical, and domineering, Stuart was kind, generous, and honest. This was also reflected in their physical appearances: Adam always wears a business suit and keeps his hair slick and neat, while Stuart wore colorful cardigans with slacks and had rumbled hair. Stuart often served as his brother's conscience, attempting to sway Adam from some of his more heartless schemes.
