WEIGHT around 185 pounds
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES Has a crescent-shaped scar on his left cheek from a sword fight when he was younger, usually only appears when he smirks or smiles
STYLE Having been around for quite some time, Christian always takes enjoyment in the circling of fashion. Such as how the 70s is coming back with the baggy shirts over a tank top for the girls, or the "popular" look for males with popped up collars, which fortunately faded rather rapidly. He enjoys taking pride in how he dresses, though he always can be seen wearing a pair of beat-up jeans and a t-shirt if he should be doing some repairs on his house or something. He can often be found with his hair just tossed about for the day, though if he should be planning something, he likes to run his hand through it, and occasionally his hair will be slicked back out of his face, and to give him a more menacing appearance - such as if he needs to intimidate someone for something. Ahem. On rare occasions, it can even be spiked up somewhat too - though that will only happen with a special request, from someone special - which he doesn't have now, so that wouldn't happen. Jewelry, just a nice Rolex watch for him will do, though he doesn't mind cuff links, they're only there for show, as well as to show that he has pride in himself and what he does with - life.

OVERALL
When Christian was brought into the world, the Gauls were being exiled out of Rome, the city in Italy. That places his birth at about 390 B.C. give or take a few months, since he can't remember his birthday anymore, except that it was warm, and summer-time, so probably May, June, July or August - which is better than nothing. Either way, it was in the Roman Empire era, and Christian was born to an aristocratic family, then called a patrician family. He was raised by his mother, Catina who absolutely adored her son, while his father worked with the Government closely, having been close to the Kings and such through their lineage. Needless to say, during this time, Christian was also raised around a slave woman in their house in Rome, named Abia. Abia was collected and maternal, she'd often take care of the toddler Christian while Catina would go about the house, cleaning and such, sometimes having Abia clean while she played with Christian who grew up adoring his mother and father both equally. When Christian was from about three months to six years, many reforms alone happened in Rome, dealing with the government. Catina said good-bye to Abia, who they sold, just so that they wouldn't need to worry about someone. Just six at this time, Christian, then named Cassius, stayed with his mother, until his father took ahold of his education, wanting to train his son to be a warrior, and carry on the family name with pride. Christian took well to fighting, using strategies and such to win easily against his father and the other boys within the neighborhood he grew up in.

By the time the 340s B.C. rolled around, Christian had realized - he wasn't aging. He was well into his fifties, and should have been dead by now. His father explained that they were Immortal, and that they could never die. This prompted the curious Cassius/Christian to quickly go and see what would happen. He attempted to stab himself with a sword, but just to have the sword break - no metal, no arrows could pierce his skin. He attempted to get sick - that didn't work either. The only way that they could die, was if someone managed to give extreme pressure to their heart, which was hard to do in the first place, especially with the rib cage and such protecting it. Upon noticing this, Christian joined the Roman Army, and climbed ranks through the years, while his parents moved out to another part of Italy, just to enjoy their time together worrying about their only son as well. Christian made it to a Praefectus alae, which meant he was in charge of 500 men on horseback, when Rome attacked Campania in the South. This was just one war he would participate in throughout his centuries on Earth.

After that, Christian returned to Rome, where he remained with the Government, and also made some friends with construction as well, and later on became a manager, or someone who was like a supervisor of the first great aqueduct in Rome, Aqua Appia in 312 B.C. This was when he was still going by Cassius, but changed his last name to something else besides Elias. Nonetheless, someone caught onto him, they were curious about this Cassius who bared a resemblance to a Cassius they used to know - years ago. This person approached him, and Christian ended up having to kill this person in order to keep his secret safe. That was when he discovered he'd need to start "dying" every once in awhile and starting a new life somewhere else. (this came more prominent when computers started getting involved, and he helped design them) Christian bid farewell to the city life and moved out to the country with his parents in their large estate, where he remained for decades, till he then met Camila in 98 B.C. in a part of the coast of Spain. Camila was a "middle class" woman born between a slave woman and her higher-up husband, who claimed he had found her as a baby and raised her as his own daughter. The fell for each other.

Christian brought Camila back with him to Italy, where they remained together in the large estate on his own turf, his own house he had built with his own hands and some help from friends. Camila and "Cassius" were married in 97 B.C. and remained that way till Camila disappeared one day, when the estate was attacked by people invading the country in order to start attacking Rome. Camila vanished, and Cassius/Christian was heart-broken. He sold his home telling the people there if a woman ever came by here asking for him, tell her that he had gone onto Florence. There he remained, befriending people, and remained till about the 1200s. Then the Black Plague broke out, and Christian survived it - obviously - he became a doctor at that time, just wanting to ease people's suffering before they died, which he managed to do quite a bit. Moving throughout Europe, Christian learned English once it sprouted in England, on top of Italian, his native tongue, Spanish, his second language, and so on and so forth. He currently knows Italian, Spanish, English, German, French and Dutch fluently and can write them and speak like a native.

Christian moved away from Europe in the 1600s when he had been asked by the King of England to marry a noble's daughter. He turned it down, mainly because he wanted to flee, he wanted to be free and didn't want to be tied down to a woman he didn't even really know. Was it cowardly? Yes, he'll admit it, but he didn't want to have to have another Camila, have to lose another loved one. Therefore, he stuck to usually just one-night stands and such throughout the centuries. He was there to help construct the American colonies and such, and aided them in their wars as well. He took the North's side in the Civil War, but once the war was finished, he returned back to Europe, in Italy for some time, just to find his parents in Florence, Italy. Here he met up with some well-known artists today, and helped them get their names out there during this time. He remained in Italy till the 1900s, and returned to the United States in the Industrial Revolution, becoming a contractor and making pretty good money that way. He saved up his money, and he always stored it somewhere where he knew it would be safe where-ever he went in the world. This was where he officially became Christian in the late 1800s, due to Cassius probably become a little too old he figured.

The Great Depression slammed into the States, and Christian, in this small town in Pennsylvania, became the richest man around. People - fortunately - thought he was just like them, broke as a chair from Pompeii - which he was there about a year before it was buried by the way. Christian fought in World War I and World War II for the States, and had fought in the French Revolution as well, wanting to aid everyone when he can. He's since then calmed down his moving, having been in this town since it was founded, and moved out of it once in awhile. He now is the owner of 5 houses, this one he has, he has a stable. This house here, one in Tuscany, Italy, another in Madrid, Spain, a townhouse in London, England and finally the other in New York City, New York, where he rents currently all of them, and gets a good rent from all of them each month, on top of his mechanic pay on the weekends, cash only, and his day job during the week - which he's an English Teacher at the local high school, feigning as a 24-year-old recent college graduate. Plus, he's also graduated from college 18 times throughout the centuries, he knows how to study, but for now, he sticks with his jobs and work, as well as tending to his horses, which he will sometimes breed them to sell to other good stables.
