Jude Christian

* Normal
* Coat

Jude Christian is one of the Doctors who works at the facility.

## Appearance

Has peachy skin, brown hair and blue eyes. He usually wears a long-sleeve white shirt with a blue tie and black slacks - much like a businessman. Jude's hair has stripes of grey in it, indicating his transitioning age and lack of interest in clinging to a formerly youthful appearance.

## Story

### Before the Facility

In Chapter 74, it is said that Jude used to be a university professor (likely in medical statistics, but unspecified what he taught) before working at the facility. He was said to have been Sven's instructor, one who acted as his mentor. Jude even wound up taking Sven under his wing and worked with him closely. Otherwise, not much else has been said of his history other than through the author's ask box on tumblr.
### In the Facility

Jude is not involved in Ten's point of view often enough for information about him to emerge, outside of visits or isolated encounters in the hall. He seems friendly to Milos (due to closeness in age) and civil towards Nathaniel, such as when he asked him for the favor of delivering paperwork to Mom and promised to gift him as thanks.
## Personality

Crass, perverted and lusty during visits. The numbers view Jude as disgusting, a viewpoint added to by the fact that he's on the older side (though that's somewhat debatable as Monica is also around the same age and is not seen so hatefully, moreso with hesitance).

Jude is otherwise usually seen as polite with his peers and doesn't tend to start arguments. He is about as laid back as Milos, though certainly more focused and willing to work than his coworker. Often, Jude can brush off any teasing whereas others take offense. He is also shown in some instances to be fairly old fashioned, preferring cigars to cigarettes (and presuming others do too), and fawning over the beauty of photos of women in magazines (and sexually explicit photos he apparently takes of other girls he visits) rather than explicitly the act of sex alone.

Likely because of his age, Jude seems to plan for most of the vivider themes of visits where he partners with Sven. It's possible regular encounters don't do enough for him, or else he likes the creativity. It has been shown that he likes photography and thus has a small appreciation for aesthetics and art (likely why he was able to get along with Nathaniel well enough).

## Job at the Facility

Jude is reportedly a statistician who works closely alongside Sven Engelstad. Given that he was formerly a university professor, he has more than likely been to college himself to study for his chosen field.

## Kinks and Sexuality

* Voyeurism
* Rape
* Bondage
* Foodplay
* Dominance
* Masturbation
* Oral (as recipient)

Jude seems to much more prefer women explicitly, based on the way he talks of them, and based on the fact that he is never seen or mentioned visiting male prisoners.

## Relationships

### **Four (Blue)**

Not too much is known about their relationship aside from Four calling him "pretty old." Jude has shown an interest in the arts, leading Ten to speculate whether he was drawn to Blue and chose her as a Number for that reason.
### **Sven**

Jude was Sven's professor, and the two grew a close mentor/student relationship over the course of Sven's enrollment in his course or courses. In the facility, they often do visits together due to their similar taste, crassness, and high perversion. However, the two do have a few contrasting views and personality traits as well. Jude is more laid back and accepting of things, whereas Sven is more riled up and aggressive, full of young energy.
Sven likes to poke fun at Jude's old age and "dated" tastes, but Jude doesn't tend to take offense to these claims. Jude seems to be more relaxed with Sven too,something that seems to make him more willing to protect or cover for his friend often. Jude is said to constantly pick up Sven's slack in his work since Sven tends to skirt his responsibilities in favor of getting his rocks off and playing around.
### **Milos Simanek**

Though Jude's relationship with Milos has not yet been seen in story, Jude has made a few comments of Milos that indicate his acceptance and friendship with the man, something likely facilitated due to their similar principles and age. Apparently Milos offers to drink with Jude now and then as well. In Chapter 75, Jude threatens Ten to ask his "Milos" to terrorize her for a visit, indicating that he would agree to do Jude a favor.
### **Nathaniel Miles**

Jude seems very civil with him. The only encounter between the two so far has been in Chapter 53, when Jude asked Nathaniel to file his paperwork on his behalf in order to avoid dealing with Mom by the records room . Jude had promised to send Nathaniel a gift box as thanks (to which Nathaniel requested it be expensive wine instead of cigars).
### **Parents**

According to the author, Jude had a pretty decent standing with his father, and had a fairly quiet upbringing. He did not grow up with a mother since she died when he was young, and his father was always pretty busy and couldn’t always afford to hover over his kid. Jude learned to be independent at a young age, but was fairly social and kept busy with other people (sometimes questionable people at that). Neither father or son much interacted, but the interactions they did have were not unpleasant.

## Trivia

*Most of these are pulled from asks featured on the author’s tumblr*

* Jude's **love language** is Quality Time
* Jude *might* have one sibling
* **Jude's parent's opinion of him:** *His father didn’t dislike his son, and did what he could for him since he didn’t really have a mother. But because he was so busy, he couldn’t pay attention to Jude all the time. From what little things he saw of his son, he wasn’t too displeased until his teens where he was a bit more wily and unpredictable.*
* Jude partakes in gambling (along with Sven, Mom and maybe Milos)
* **Jude's opinion of his previous number:** *Jude didn’t entirely care for his Number, especially because of her timid nature. He did only what was necessary for her survival, but otherwise went for other people.*
* **Jude's controversial opinion:** *(Pretty) women are best in the home, or as eye candy*
* Jude is a bit of a traditional romantic and would know how to show someone a good time if he cared to
* **Embarrassing fact:** *probably got caught with lots of adult magazines under his bed, or in the act while reading one when he was young*
* Jude likely enjoys beers, whiskeys or rum
* **How would Jude flirt:** *A little suave, but otherwise fairly direct. He at least knows how to use his words better than Sven*
* **Jude as a parent:** *Likely traditionalist and would do the same as Sven, expecting anyone else to do all the childcare while he only barely exists in the child’s life except on occasion or if he has to.*
* **Jude's Triggers:** *Blatant disrespect (though his tolerance for teasing is high)*
* Jude probably owned a Polaroid when he was a teen and was interested in photography as an elective in school. The one he used in Chapter 75*,* or at least was based on, a 1981 Polaroid 600.
