Chris experiences his pressence as a human amongst the vampires and witches in his life as a strength, similar to his brother's experience. He takes up the role of dealing with the vampire population in Portland because he knows as a human he flies under the radar.

He extends his skills to members of The Underground once he gets involved with their cause, and trains the younger generation on how to defend themselves, as well as training the humans on how to navigate the magical world. He eventually trains his successor, Killian McGregor.
