Chin was a Human smuggler and chief associate of Talon Karrde's organization.
By 9 ABY he was Chief of Operations of the Wild Karrde, apparently senior to all but Mara Jade and Aves. Trusted by Karrde, one of his tasks included care of his pet vornskrs Sturm and Drang.
By 19 ABY he was still a part of the Wild Karrde's crew. Karrde described Chin's interactions with younger crew members as "grandfatherly."
He is rumored to have sported a Froffli-style haircut.

A chin is the lowest part of the jaw on creatures with mouths. Transformers have had chins since as long as they've had faces. Why is something of a mystery, since Transformers do not technically need mouths (and some don't have one). One must also ask why certain bots have such large chins when they don't actually need them. Humanization? Experiences with mammalian lifeforms? Required for socially acceptable chin-stroking when plotting? Only Primus knows the truth.
It is worth noting that prior to Animated, many of the Transformers had triangular or rectangular "beards". Megatron had originally lacked one but after being reformatted he too received a beard. This is most likely due to the Japanese origins of Transformers, which makes them fairly consistant with every other typical robo anime.
It may also be worth noticing that most Animated transformers also haven't got Noses or sometimes even faces and yet still manage to have a big Chin.
