History
Early LifeChristian was born in April to his royal Moroi parents Lucas and Moira. When he was very young, his parents turned Strigoi willingly, causing Christian to be raised by his aunt Natasha. At the age of ten, his parents came back, wanting to take Christian with them to their Strigoi hideout and change him into a Strigoi when he was older, but Natasha protected him. Guardians later killed his parents, which Christian witnessed. He and his aunt then lived amongst humans until Christian began attending St. Vladimir's Academy. Christian was very anti-social and others avoided him, believing him to be on the verge of becoming Strigoi. Occasionally, Christian would talk to Mia when she was a freshman. Mia told him about Andre using her and he supposedly comforted her.

He jumped in to fight psi-hounds on the way to rescue Lissa. He believes in using offensive magic and once set Ralf on fire when he was tormenting Lissa. He was able to destroy Strigoi by setting them on fire, something he was unaware he was able to do. Christian spent most of his time watching Lissa, meaning that he noticed she was using compulsion. He admitted that as he was ignored the whole time, he observed more than most people could. He is known for holding grudges but is also very forgiving. He is very protective, especially of Lissa, as he was furious at Rose for snapping at her. He's also very smart and understood Rose cluing him in on her escape plan. Christian also gets jealous very easily, always jealous when Lissa was with Aaron or especially Adrian, picking fights with her and accusing her of going behind his back. He doesn't approve of her friendship with Adrian, especially when they hug or Adrian puts his arm around her.

Christian soon fell in love with Lissa. Rose, who didn't like Christian, told him that Lissa only felt sorry for him and so he began ignoring Lissa, deeply hurt.

He later found her crying and passionately kissed her in an attempt to tell her how he felt, but she felt betrayed and rejected him.
