Background Information: Christian parents voluntarily turned strigoi when he was younger.  They planned to keep him around and then awaken him when he was older. Christian was so young that he didn’t even know that there was anything wrong with his parents.  He was being cared for by his Aunt Tasha when his parents came for him.  She was able to defend herself and Christian from them. They were hunted down and killed by a group of guardians.  Christian witnessed them being murdered.  Because of what his parents had done Christian is treated as an outcast.  He regularly attends church so people know that he isn’t a strigoi since they can’t step foot inside a church.

His favorite place to hang out is the church attic. This is where he met Lissa again after her two year stint away from the academy. She claimed that the attic was hers since she used to hang out there before she left. Christian said he had squatter’s rights. So they decided to share it.  They began hanging out together in the attic and that is where they began to have feelings for one another.

Christian is one of a few moroi who uses his powers offensively, which will prove useful in FB and SK. This is a trait he picked up from his aunt Tasha. Shortly after Rose and Lissa returned to the academy they were being harassed by Ralf Sarcozy. In order to get the attention off of them Christian set Ralf on fire. Only Ralf wasn’t really on fire. The flames were surrounding him just making him think he was on fire.  This shows that Christian knows how to do things out of the ordinary with his powers.

Christian did the fire thing as an act of kindness towards Lissa because of his feelings for her.  Christian wanted to be with Lissa but there were a few obstacles getting in the way.  Rose actually told Christian that Lissa didn’t like him even though she really did.  It was Rose who didn’t’ like Christian.  Another obstacle in the way was that Lissa was using her compulsion to get the students to like her and Rose.  They weren’t being harassed any more but it made it hard for Christian to get near Lissa. She was acting like a mighty royal moroi princess. She even got together with her old boyfriend, Aaron, in an attempt to make another moroi, Mia, jealous.  Christian felt that he couldn’t be with Lissa when she was acting this way.  Eventually Christian found out that Rose lied to him.  After a school dance Christian met up with Lissa in the church attic.  He was trying to console her because of things that Mia said to her had upset her.  It was here in the attic that Christian was attacked by some guardians and Lissa was kidnapped by Victor Drozdovs guardians.  In an effort to rescue Lissa several guardians including Dimitri and Rose went to save her. Christian stowed away in the back of one of the rescue vans.   Several of the guardians went in to get Lissa and they told Rose to stay behind. When she was waiting she used her psychic bond with Lissa to check in on her and saw that Lissa had escaped the cabin. She was no longer going to be rescued by the guardians.  All of a sudden Christian asked Rose what she had seen.  Christian had caught Rose off guard but she wasn’t surprised to see him there.  The two of them headed off to rescue Lissa themselves.  As they got closer to Lissa they were attacked by some psi hounds.  Rose was able to defend herself but Christian was not as lucky.  He ended up as a bloody mess on the floor.  He would have certainly died had Lissa not saved his life with her healing powers. The Academy guardians were able to capture Victor and his guardians.  After this Christian and Lissa began dating openly.  Lissa didn’t care what others thought of Christian.

Christian and Lissa continued to date and after a month together their relationship became more intimate.  During Christmastime Christian’s Aunt Tasha came to visit him at the academy and she went along when the school went away to a ski resort for Christmas vacation.  At the resort Christian went skiing with Lissa, Rose, and Mason.  Rose and Lissa witnessed Christian and his aunt practicing using their magic offensively.

Christian along with Rose, Mia, Mason, and Eddie were captured and held prisoner by some Strigoi.  They were able to escape because Christian used his powers to melt the plastic handcuffs off of Rose.

For the dhampirs six weeks of field training Rose was assigned to Christian.  She had to follow him around to all of his classes and feedings just like if they were out in the real world.  Christian becomes jealous of Adrian Ivashkov because he begins spending a lot of time with Lissa so that they can practice their Spirit magic together.  He even gets into a fight with him because he heard from Ralf that the Queen wants Lissa to get together with Adrian.  Queen Tatiana feels that they would be a good match because Adrian has enough Dragomir blood in him to keep the blood line going even though Christian does as well.

When the academy was attacked by many strigoi Christian was waiting in the church for Lissa.  Rose went to find him and was attacked by a strigoi.  She was certain that she was going to die but Christian set the strigoi on fire and killed it which saved Rose’s life.  Rather than going back to the dorms with all of the other students he and Rose set out to kill other strigoi themselves. Christian was able to use his fire power to attack the strigoi and distract them long enough so that Rose could stake them. The two of them managed to kill more strigoi than any of the guardians.

When Rose left the academy Christian was there to support Lissa.  He was there to support her when Queen Tatiana was getting on her nerves.  After learning how Christian helped kill strigoi with his power other students began asking Christian to help them learn how to use their own powers offensively.  Christian asked Lissa to take his latest student, Jill, to the Royal Court with her.  He really couldn’t stand going to the Court and doing royal things.  After their return from the Royal Court Christian learned from Jill that Lissa had kissed her ex boyfriend.  He broke up with Lissa not only because of this but they had been drifting apart as she had starting acting like her old royal self.  He knew he couldn’t be with her when she was acting that way because he doesn’t like the way royals act like they are so much better than everybody else.
