## History

* Early History
* Witch
* Immortal
* Present Day

Christopher Blackwell was born in Norway along with his older sister Dahlia Blackwell to Silas Balcoin and an unknown mother. Christopher was his sister's right-hand until she cursed his bloodline for past actions.He is the World's Most Powerful Warlock Alive. Christopher will kill anyone who dares harm his children. In a flashback, it was revealed that his son, Malachai, killed four of his siblings and attempted to kill the youngest , Carson, to become rightful leader of the Coven. In order to prevent him from gaining power, Christopher trapped him in a 1994 Prison World. He was killed, along with the rest of the coven, when Kai killed himself after merging with his brother Harrison and becoming the new leader of the coven.

Christopher is a member of the Norwegian Family of Powerful Witches along with his older sister Dahlia, and the rest of his family. Christopher is considered "The World's Most Powerful Warlock" along with his youngest son Carson.

Christopher was recently the Ancestral King. He was assumed the one who planned his  youngest granddaughter's  sacrifice, but he has claimed he had "No Clue".

Christopher is a very powerful witch. He knows every curse,spell,ritual,and herb. Christopher is described intelligent.Christopher never really uses his magic unless it is necessary. As he was a witch, Christopher fell in love with a witch named Esther. He and Esther had a baby girl whom they named Adalyn.Adalyn takes her father and mother's magical gene. Adalyn is a very powerful witch til this day.
Christopher is one of the most powerful warlocks of the Balcoin Bloodline. Christopher was believed to be the only witch known to have enchanted protection spells upon jewelry that enables its human wearer to return to life after being killed by a supernatural creature.

Christopher had also proved himself powerful enough to enchant multiple devices that could help the townspeople to rid the city of demons and monsters. While one of his enchantments included a compass with the ability to detect vampires, another invention had the power to incapacitate every vampire and werewolf within a five block radius.

Another impressive feat was Christopher's ability to use healing spells. Even among witches, the ability to use magic to heal wounds is likely to be difficult and magically exhausting as Kai claims it had taken him years to learn, even for a skilled witch as for himself. This eventually culminated in the Life Force Linking spell.

As Christopher became a father, he began to slowly intake what it truly meant to be a "Witch". After his youngest son's supposed death, he turned his children into the worlds first vampire's. He took his two sons Kai and Carson after they were turned into vampire's and reversed the spell and made them immortal along with himself. He hid their secret and made Esther think they were still vampires. Chris's true intention was to make all of his children immortal.

Christopher is considered one of the world's most powerful immortal's alive. He is very concerned about his granddaughter's future. He told his son, that he doesn't want her to be turned into a vampire. Chris and Carson agreed to keep the vampire species a secret.

## Character Description

*With centuries of darkness bubbling underneath, Christopher Blackwell is an emotionally hardened character. With the "faked death" of his daughter, Christopher will stop at nothing to get his revenge properly. With the birth of his granddaughter it may seem, he has developed a soft-spot towards her over time. A powerful warlock, and a feared patriarch, Christopher isn't someone you would want as an enemy, because life will be hell if that's the case*.

## Personality

It had been suggested by Dahlia/Christopher himself and later confirmed in flashbacks that he was much kinder and caring in his youth. In present day Christopher is very serious and protective of his loved ones, although he does have soft-spot for his granddaughter. Sometimes he can be very sarcastic, and he takes magic very seriously. He became very dark when Dahlia took his daughter for him in payment.

Based on Adalyn's words, he seems to share some traits of personality with his son Kai, and Christopher himself even claimed that he and Kai shared the same plight after they were both abused and oppressed in their youth by those who sought to control them. He had also shown similarities with another one of his sons, Carson, as they both believe that true power comes from family; however, they each have very different perspectives on how that power should be used.

## Physical Appearance

Christopher is very handsome. He stands at 6'0 and his hair is a type of blonde that is almost white. He too has a very devilish smile. In the present day, he has shown a fondness for the color black, as a majority of his clothes are in this color.

## Powers and Abilities

Christopher's most notable spell was turning his Children into the world's first original vampires. He drew on multiple sources of power, such as the sun and the white oak tree for power and immortality. As one of the strongest and most powerful witch the world had ever known, Christopher was powerful enough to be feared by Dahlia, his older sister who was also one of the most powerful witches in history. In addition to Dahlia, Carson and Chaz are both said to be terrified of him, as well, due to the fact that the first-born witches born to every generation of their bloodline, including Christopher, Adalyn, Chaz, Harper and Isabella, possess what Christopher described as "devastating" magical power.
Christopher is arguably the most powerful witch featured in The Originals. However, while the full extent of Christopher's power remains unknown, Adalyn explained to her brother that she herself (who is an extremely powerful witch in her own right) was still fearful of Chris, as she understood that Christopher's power was strong enough to defeat her the moment they reunite. This confirms that Christopher was much more powerful than Adalyn and that he was truly to be feared by the Blackwell family. Adalyn also claimed that Esther pales in comparison to her sister, in part due to Christopher's ability to sense magic in others, especially in witches of their bloodline.
Christopher is very talented in the Dark Arts.
Because of the spells he cast on himself and Elizabeth , he was capable of incredible acts of power. He once wiped out an entire village of werewolfs with the wave of his hand. Christopher was able to hold that much power even when his body was not yet indestructible. He was also seen killing Kai, by making him bleed from the inside out, a spell that was later cast by Carson to kill Eva.
He can command an army of mortals to do his bidding with ease, even granting them a portion of his already enormous power, as well as the ability to use said power defensively, as evidenced by his "acolytes" being able to fling Carson and Kai through the air with invisible force. He was able to desiccate both Carson and Kai at once with little effort and without making physical contact with them.
Christopher also demonstrated skill at teleporting instantly in a matter of seconds.
Casting spells appeared to be of very little trouble for Christopher.
Christopher displayed the power to use Kenning on corpses after he killed and subsequently reanimated long enough to use Kenning to send a message to his sons and daughters at the Blackwell compound. While at the Blackwell's safe house, he also disrupted the nearby cell phone towers to prevent anyone from calling for help. He had shown himself to be proficient in snapping bones, breaking necks, and ripping/puncturing flesh with only simple hand gestures, and can easily use telekinesis to rip a heart from a victim's chest.

Also as a seer it was revealed Chris has the ability to turn regular witches into seers just as he "Accidentally" turned his grandson when he touched his hood.
His only intellectual equal is Carson who was barely able to outsmart Christopher.

## Weakness

Christopher is susceptible to the forces of witchcraft. Like all creatures, Christopher can be undone by powerful magic, however, according to Eva Sinclair, it would require power equivalent to Christopher (or greater) to defeat him.
