Christian Garcia

Christian Garcia was the longtime boyfriend of Lucius Selig. He witnessed the birth of Portals Bermuda and stuck by Lucius’ side as long as possibly, before finally seeing what he’d become and betraying him to The Charter.
== Relationship with Lucius Selig ==
Lucius and Christian originally shared a happy and affectionate relationship. Though it’s unclear whether they got together before or after Lucius founded the Power of Positive Mechanics cult, Christian was his main advisor and trusted confidant, and they often fantasized about becoming rich and famous together.
One night, while Christian was asleep, Lucius mastered his power of wormhole generation, and stepped directly into Christian’s room in an attempted grandiose entrance, but his excitement ruined the surprise. Now fully inspired, the two began work on Portals Bermuda.
They travelled the multiverse together to gather ideas and understanding, before hosting an event to announce the new resort company. There were supposed to be only 20 people who show up, but time and again exactly 500 people filled the auditorium. Christian later deduced that this was due to Portals Bermuda having it’s own flow of time, out of sync with Earth’s. The attendees were visiting from the future.
As Charter agents began to infiltrate Portals, and Lucius fell into paranoia, Christian was the only person he would trust. Lucius stayed in the trailer (now located in the Murok-Inoo pocket dimension in HoER) for two full weeks, shifting its location to other dimensions every few days. Christian was the only one entrusted with the information of where the trailer would be next, and spent a long time talking to Lucius from outside the door, though Lucius would only respond with slips of paper.
The Charter, fed up with Lucius, approached Christian. Afraid of what Lucius was becoming, he agreed to give them the information he was receiving from Lucius, and agents were able to spy on him consistently. Eventually, they and Christian made a deal. If Christian could get Lucius out into the wild, they would be able to siphon his powers and shut down Portals, which was disrupting the fabric of the multiverse.
Under the pretense of a book signing, Christian coaxed Lucius into a crowd, where charter agents installed a psychic block that caused him immense pain whenever he tried to project. Christian left him a note briefly explaining why he betrayed him, but Lucius didn’t respond. After a few months, Lucius began trying to call Christian, though he never received any answer.
Christian is currently the head of the Power of Positive Mechanics cult, placed in charge of it by The Charter. It is unknown whether or not Christian still works with the Charter, but with how they are known to operate, it is most likely.
