- "Fuck me."
- ―Brett’s last words, when he sees Chucky giving him the middle finger.
Brett C. Shelton is a cadet lieutenant colonel at Kent Military school. He is a military brat, and often abuses his rank as officer to bully new cadets.
Child's Play 3 (1991)[]
Shelton introduces himself to Andy during morning formation, antagonizing him before moving on to Andy's roommate Whitehurst. He calls Whitehurst "the most pathetic thing he has ever seen"', causing another student, Kristen, to stand up for him. As punishment, Shelton makes Kristen to 25 push-ups as he explains to the students that nobody here gets special treatment and only the fittest survive.
In the afternoon, Shelton leads the students in a marching drill. He watches as Andy does not understand what to do, and orders him to fall out of formation. As Andy attempts to follow along with the drills, he spots Colonel Cochrane carrying a Good Guy doll to the dumpster and drops his rifle out of fear. Shelton reprimands him for treating his rifle poorly, and continues on with the drills. Suddenly, everyone hears screaming coming from the garbage truck. Shelton runs over and tries to open the back compartment with little success, and finally notices the Garbage Man's corpse in the hatch.
During the night, Shelton orders Whitehurst to polish his shoes and comes to his room to retrieve them. Instead, he sees Andy slamming Chucky on the ground. Laughing, he takes the Good Guy doll from him, but then notices Andy scuffed one of the shoes Whitehurst polished. He gives Andy 5 demerits and tells him that he will be his new slave from now on. Before leaving the room, he confiscates the Good Guy doll as he plans to give it to his younger sister for her birthday. As Andy is determined to get the doll back, he breaks into Shelton's room at midnight to look for Chucky. However Chucky manages to scare Andy, causing him to fall back onto Shelton and wake him up. He notices the doll is missing, and in order to weed out the thief he forces the students to walk around in circles outside in the rain. When Andy attempts to sneak away, Shelton stops him and punches him in the gut. When Andy retaliates by punching him in the jaw, Shelton drags him back to the group and forces all of them to do more intensive drills. This is suddenly called to an end after Colonel Cochrane is found dead in his office. In the morning during breakfast, Shelton orders the students to take a moment of silence to honour Cochrane.
Shelton and Ellis during the War Games.
Though Colonel Cochrane has died, the school decides to go on with its annual War Games. Shelton is placed in charge of the blue team, with Ellis at his side. Once his team reaches their base camp, Shelton sends some of his men to do reconnaissance on the location of the red team's base, keeping this map in his tent. Andy steals this map and leaves the camp to try and find Tyler. When Shelton discovers this map is missing, he decides that his team must leave their camp now, instead of at dawn like they originally intended. As Ellis gets the team ready to leave, he notices Whitehurst hesitating. When he questions him on the missing map, he discovers that his tentmate Andy is missing and informs Shelton. He brands Andy a traitor, and has his forces split up to track Andy down.
Death[]
Although Shelton finds Andy, his soldier Kristen has not returned. A mysterious voice begins using her radio, and demands they come to the old Jeep and bring him Tyler in exchange for Kristen. Shelton has his team follow behind Andy and Tyler, believing this to be a ploy by the red team. As Andy gives Tyler to Chucky, the red team arrives at the area and exchanges fire with the blue team. However, unknown to the soldiers Chucky switched the red team's paintballs with live rounds. Shelton sees Chucky giving him the middle finger just as he is shot in the chest by Major Rawlings, killing him.
