History:Chris was born in Anaheim in a family with 3 children, all of them boys out of which Chris was the middle aged one. As a 5 year old he got bit by a dog once which resulted in him developing a phobia for them. When he was 6 years old his parents moved to Los Angeles in hopes of a better life. Not long after that though, his mother and older brother died after a drunk driver ran them both over. His mother who took most of the hit died instantly while his older brother died at the hospital while the doctors were resuscitating him. That particular event had a serious impact on Chris who became more introverted and more rebellious towards his father, but especially more protective of his younger brother who seemed to suffer the most out of the whole thing.
Chris's first run in the law was the age of 24, when he used his father's old Charger to participate in illegal street races. He was caught during his 3rd participation. He was charged with exhibittion of speed but since it was his first offense he got away easy with just a fine, 6 months of probation and the car impounded. Of course his father didn't took too kindly to having his car impounded because of his son and after a very heated argument, Chris packed his stuff and left the house, moving in with his girlfriend. Around the same time he was approached by a russian man, owner of a bar, by the name of Nikolai. He said he saw Chris race and offered him a position as getaway driver on a crew of thieves he was leading. Chris accepted but also told him he was on probation for 6 months and didn't want to do anything before those 6 months ended.
Nikolai hired Chris at his bar as a bartender and after those 6 months of probation ended, Chris finally assumed his duties as getaway driver, pulling his crew safe out of many heists. They mostly concentrated on Beverly Hills, where a lot of rich and famous people lived, sometimes they also robbed jewelry stores or other places containing valuable things. This went on for many years and the cops never managed to capture them. At the age of 29 he caught his girlfriend with someone else. Chris snapped at that site and unleashed all his fury at the guy, beating him up to the point where he could barely get up on his feet. For that he was charged with battery and spent 6 months in jail. After getting out he broke up with his girlfriend, despite her begging for forgiveness, and took all of his things from her place, moving into an apartment he rented. He also resumed his job at the bar as well his postion as getaway driver in the crew.
Two years later, Chris accidentally discovered his boss, Nikolai, talking on the phone with someone else, a woman by the voice. Nikolai was telling her that his business in L.A. was almost done and that after the last heist he would betray the crew, take all their money and then they would leave together for the Carribean. This news enraged Chris who comfronted his boss about it. They started fighting and in the midst of all that commotion Chris grabbed a gun from Nikolai's desk and shot him dead. Surprisingly Chris didn't end up in jail for murder as he told the cops it was self defense and sweet talked them into believing his side of the story, especially since the cops had a tag on Nikolai for a long time now and were very suspicious of him. Much to everyone's shock, Chris also passed the lie detector test. After that event Chris took over the bar and leadership of the crew.
