Biography

Chad and Lisa were employees of the Biotone Company, working there alongside Dr. McLeach. They also had a son, who they named Alan.

At some point, they discovered the location of the Tree of Life in Ferngully, which they and McLeach hoped to use for their research. However, as they learned that a tribe of beasts and a group of Fairies lived at the Tree of Life and considered it sacred, they decided to keep its location a secret and instead solve its mysteries in a more respectful manner. Dr. McLeach was enraged by this decision and pursued them, ultimately running their car off the road. Before Dr. McLeach could reach them, they sent Alan down a nearby river in a cradle to protect him. Ultimately, Dr. McLeach stole their research on the Tree of Life and left Chad and Lisa to perish when their wrecked car exploded.

Their last act to protect Alan ensured his survival. He was found and raised by one of the beasts, who was named Go'el and gave him the name Cuco.
