## Biography

### Early Life

**Christopher Mattathias Samedi** (born **31 January, 1701**) is a warlock born to the Voodoo Loa Baron Samedi. However, he was raised and adopted by Leo Chamberlain. He attended the *Academy of Exceptional Witches & Warlocks* (1710-1722) in his youth. He was dubbed the most brilliant student at the academy.

### The Vice Lords and Meeting Katherine

He was once a leader of a group of dangerous warlocks until he was shown his future by his lifelong friend Ambrose Spellman. He fell in love with a mortal named Katherine. As a result of their "love", their daughter was conceived.

### Becoming a Father and Fatherhood

After the birth of their daughter, Christopher revealed to Katherine, that he was a warlock, unknowingly putting his daughter at risk. As of 2019, Rose finds his address and by the order of the courts, he gains full custody of his daughter. When her life was threatened, He began to fight for her protection against her enemies. He told her that *"When he saw her, he dropped onto his knees. He knew that He wouldn't let anyone harm her. She is his little girl."*

### Marrying Ambrose Spellman

In 2019 After they both admitted their feelings for one another, Ambrose and Christopher finally wedded each other, thus merging both families together and becoming parents to Rose.

He strongly believes in trust, honesty and loyalty and whenever he would give his word to someone, he would keep it, as he has said *"I'm a man of my word".*

He is known for speaking his mind and having a fierce temper, which he possibly inherited from his father, Christopher is capable of controlling it. Christopher very rarely has tolerance for those who broke their words to him. He has been shown to go to great lengths to make those that disrespect him suffer.

Christopher is very knowledgeable and deceptive in many ways. This encompasses knowledge of how to fight, wield a sword and defend himself. He exhibits an open-minded and optimistic personality. When he meets Katherine, he respects her for her bravery and willingness to put herself in harm's way to protect her loved ones, which is something that Christopher himself has done for his daughter many times. Christopher in general is a very emotionally hardened character and has difficulty at times handling and accepting certain emotions.

He's a hurting & angry soul, who wants the best for his daughter Rose, as he doesn't want her to fall down the same path he did in his youth. He tries his best to be there for her, as well as trying to fight for her freedom from her mother Katherine. He's the devil in disguise who will hold a grudge against anyone in a split second.
