Chris Parker

The lead character in **The Series**. Appears in The Marketplace, The Slave, The Trainer, The Academy, The Reunion, and The Inheritor.

In addition to being a Master Trainer, Chris is also a Marketplace slave. According to his history in The Slave, Chris participated in the training of over one hundred slaves, sent 26 to the block, four back to their owners. He is the unofficial founder of The Regents, and a member of that body himself.

Marketplace slaves known to be trained by Chris Parker include Brian, Claudia, Robert, Sharon, Robin, Akira, Andy and Cindy, and unnamed slaves. He trained his first slave Alice before he began his own training with Imala Anderson.

Under his training time with Imala Anderson, Chris trained in the early 1980’s with Janna Corliss, Dalton, at Kaleigh Castle with Mr. Blake, and in the mid-1980’s with Sakai Tetsuo. He also spent an unspecified period of time with Ninon. He returned to Anderson after being hospitalized for injuries during an uncontrolled beating given to him by Tetsuo.

Chris began work with Alexandra Selador and Grendel Elliott as a “major domo” and trainer in the Long Island Training House, and brings Rachel to the staff there. During this time, he befriends Ken Mandarin. He also gets to know Gordon Reynolds, and his slave, Leon, as well as Glen the hairdresser and Teralia the personal trainer.

After returning to Anderson's house, Chris trains Michael LaGuardia. After attending The Academy in Okinawa, he befriends Abe Jiro, a fellow undertrainer. Joins Robin at The Reunion, and seeks outPhilip Harrington and his wife, Angelique, to discuss a initiation into the "old guard" by seeking training under Sakai Tetsuo. Runs frequently into Nigel Pepper while at The Reunion.

**Personal Description**: Short, dark hair with a tendency to curl, dark eyes with thick lashes. Wears glasses. Currently wears a beard, cut close to strengthen his jaw line. His body shape has changed over time, due to exercise, hormones, and surgery. Was Anderson’s bondsman (The Academy) for over 10 years. She paid for his schooling and his medical needs, and bought him a slave, Anthony, to assist him in learning masculine behavior.

Chris is also a female to male transsexual (FTM). *Chris Parker is a female to male transsexual, a transman, a former woman, transgendered, a current man, he has transitioned, he passes; he’s a transfag, a former genderqueer butch with a soft spot for submissive masochists; he’s a new man taking a ride on the T, he’s a fucking trannyboy, now go look it up and fucking ask yourself why you didn’t know that*. — from American Idle, the keynote speech delivered by author Laura Antoniou at the 2008 International Ms. Leather Contest.
