Backstory

Chris introduces himself at Arcus Academy as a nervous new student who has nowhere to sit, taking Elizabeth’s favorite spot beneath the campus tree. In truth he has been watching her for far longer, keeping a hideout, a wall of photos of everyone who might love her, and a plan he calls “the plan.” His familiarity with her room, her scent, and her nickname hints at a shared past █████ ████ █████. Among his rivals, he declares Ted and Sam “out,” leaving Tom, Elliott, Lusion, and Botas still on the wall.

Trivia

He wears a black hoodie as his signature look. Of all the characters, he is the only one who tests the world’s limits and keeps running into obstacles: a falling satellite, lightning, and a car crash each stopped him from reaching Elizabeth.
