Slavs aren't chads. They're de facto dumb animals acting on instinct. Only intelligent humans of sufficiently complex socialization and therefore emotional and instinctual failure can be called chads/betas.

Nikolai Stavrogin 100%

Many will use Pechorin as an example, but he was honestly probably more of a Gamma than anything - this becomes clear as it sinks in that most of the book is from his perspective

Came here to post him, has even more chadweight in the novel where he's a big burly Irish bastard, nothing against Jack Nicholson of course but his stature was a prominent aspect of his character, second only to the chief and then they go and cast a short guy. But since his masculine soul was what burned brightest about his character coupled with Jack's legendary talent it ended up working for what it was.

The doctor in the beginning of the book who treats the shell shock victims with patriotism and electricity is the chad, with all the nurses swooning over how compassionate and handsome he is. Bardamu is a fucking wretch, loathed by nearly everyone, mocked by nearly everyone, just barely managing to not completely shit the bed with his entire life due to sheer luck and befriending people even more wretched and trampled upon than he is.

Humbert Humbert was physically a Chad. All girls wanted him because he had both the looks and the brains, but the sick fucked up part was that he only wanted the little girls.

Now, Osamu Dazai's character in No Longer Human also is a Chad but he is a big fucking loser depressed to the maximum.
