We propose to complete the X-ray spectral characterization of our 3-Ms Ultra-Deep INTEGRAL Survey with Chandra observations of 5 faint AGN. Combining the Chandra and INTEGRAL spectra will allow us to fit for the absorbing column density and the intensity of the Compton reflection component, both fundamental parameters in understanding the AGN population. Deriving a correct census of heavily obscured AGN is the last piece of the puzzle, hampered by strong bias against detection in the 0.1-10 keV band. We have supporting multi-wavelength observations for all sources, critical to measure other source parameters like bolometric luminosity, re-radiated emission, black hole mass, etc.
