Personality & Brief History: Christopher comes from a reasonably well off family - who own both gold and diamond mines, where most of the characters that make up the group were either exceptionally brilliant or brilliantly ruthless. While he did inherit their prized intelligence, he was loathe to use it - preferring to be delightfully average. Unlike the rest of his brood, he is a reserved, gentle person who chooses to recognize the dignity in others, rather than seeing them as potential exploitation sources. As such, his parents chose to ignore him for the most part, grooming his brothers and sisters into the corporate demons of tomorrow. He in turn chose to spend his time reading the classics when readable, listening to them when not - and when the local Theater showed something beautiful - he would take one of the family cars and spend the evening bathing in the splendor of the opera. It was on one of these evenings, where he was dressed in his favorite overcoat and embroidered scarf - when upon his way out he heard his parents fighting. Being a Pacifist for the most part - he would have closed his ears and simply passed them, but when he heard them screaming about him - about how he would not amount to anything, how he lacked the nerve to do what must be done, he felt his heart constrict. He knew they preferred the others, but he had taken their ambivalence to be some quiet sort of acceptance. Now he knew they simply did not know what to do with the family's big disappointment. Later that evening, after having fled the house, he sat in the theater - his eyes glinting in the dark, his hands shaking and his heart aching. When the final few notes of the Queen of the Night Aria concluded, the queen mother threatening her daughter with abandonment should she disappoint her... should she fail her... that it felt like a wave broke, as if all things that held him to the earth let go and gravity no longer mattered. When everyone left the theater later the evening, it was to cars and street signs and other objects in disarray. It took him a few more days to realize it had been his fault. He speedily contacted the family lawyers, had them contact the school of Xavier, and transfer all his credits and finances to another account. He was also to get Christopher's travel documents in order. A casual lie about his current school not providing enough cerebral stimulation pacified his parents - who seemed relieved that he would be leaving soon. He got on their plane by the next week, having said goodbye to the two or three people he would actually miss - before setting off to America.
