Relationship with Patrick
Chad Warwick was a homosexual man and the lover of Patrick. Chad and Patrick bought the Murder House as an investment in 2010, with the intent of renovating it for resale. They also talked about adopting a baby and raising it together.
When Chad learned about Patrick's infidelity, he sought advice from a friend named Peggy, who encouraged him to fight to save the relationship by stimulating Patrick's need for excitement. Chad went to an S&M shop and purchased a latex Rubber Man bondage costume. When he wore it in front of Patrick, the man only laughed at him.
The two got into another of such fights on Halloween, when Chad felt the pressure of trying to make their failing investment of a home bright and cheery. It was this decision that spurned the ghosts who were residing in the house.

The Ghosts of Murder House
The spirit of Nora Montgomery - always in search of her missing child, was looking forward to having a new baby in the house to look after. When it became clear that this was not going to happen, she spoke with another ghost, Tate Langdon. Tate liked Nora and wanted to see her happy.
He needed to get the current occupants out of the house so that new owners could move in; owners who might have a child that Nora could care for. To facilitate this, Tate dressed up in the Rubber Man costume and attacked Chad, partially drowning him in a water-filled bucket of apples.
When Patrick entered the room, Tate attacked him next, beating him mercilessly with a fire poker, and ultimately shoving it up his rear end.
Since Chad Warwick died in the Murder House, his restless spirit was consigned to remain behind.
Life After Death
Chad's ghost later appeared to the home's next owner, Vivien Harmon, who hired him as a decorator to spruce up her house for Halloween. As always, Chad's need for control took over, and his design ideas were not to Vivien's liking.

Chad's age is never revealed, although it is believed he is in his late twenties or early thirties. He has brown eyes, dark brown hair, a bit of scruffy facial hair, and is fit.

After Marcy hires fluffers to fix up the house for the Harmons, Ben and Vivien encounter Chad and Patrick on the front lawn. Believing the two are the fluffers, they invite them inside, where Chad sets about decorating the house in a similar fashion as to how he was decorating at the time of his death. He and Patrick still have tension between them.

Reaching his boiling point, he demands that the two leave the house. When they refuse, pointing out that it's their house, Chad ominously responds, "It's not your house. We know it, you know it... And the house knows it." Vivien then starts screaming for Chad and Patrick to leave.
Later that night, as the chaos surrounding Hayden's break-in was unfolding, Vivien sees Chad smashing the decorations on the front lawn. She confronts him, where he blames her for ruining his Halloween and says Patrick left to go to a bar, which upsets him more as he claims that all he wanted was to spend Halloween with his Patrick.
Vivien threatens to call her security company, which causes Chad to chase her inside and scream for her to get out of his house again. Later, in the dining room, he confronts Larry, who is dousing parts of the house in gasoline.
