OMG Chandler is actually Lucifer…….

No, no.
Chandler is Cowl.
(new WAG -- Jim has been reading fantheories obsessively. When we get the Big Reveal... Cowl is all of them, all the Cowl-ID WAG's (by way of body-hopping a la Capiorcorpus, mental domination a la Peabody (or Nemesis), etc).) :o ::) ;D
Conspiracy Theorist:
Are you mad? Chandler wearing that ensemble? Preposterous!
Besides Chandler is kept close to the Senior Council in Edinburgh, no time for shenanigans in Chicago.
Unless he is time travelling.
I think the use of the British accent is mostly Harry having seen far too many movies with British actors as the villains - his mind interprets a villains voice as British if it is telepathic, the British prisoner, the walkers etc. We also have Binder and The Merlin antagonists of Harry. Chandler is most likely a diversion.
The rest is that it makes a comparison to Harry himself, the Blue Beetle, the T-Shirts, one entire novel has EVERYONE commenting that he badly needs a haircut. We don’t see villains who look and act like Harry (except the Nightmare)
vincentric:
Chandler is missing and presumed dead at the end of BG. If he is Cowl and capable of time travel, he has a perfect cover story.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think we are due to meet Chandler again in Mirror Mirror, Harry needs someone who can give him exposition about the multiverse, and that was recently added to his cannon in Battle Ground, so I suspect Chandler will be called upon to be Basil Exposition.
