Christopher Jackson

Christopher Jackson's character is a fusion of ice and rusty metal. He's not an empath, not a hero, and certainly not a rescuer by vocation. Withdrawn, cold, almost antisocial—he built a wall around himself long before he learned to say "no." Christopher doesn't seek company, doesn't expect gratitude, and doesn't believe in spontaneous kindness. His principles aren't derived from ethics books, but from a rigid internal code that he doesn't explain even to himself.

Yet he is not cruel. Indifferent, yes. Tired, constantly. But within him dwells a strange, almost archaic sense of justice, awakened not by a cry for help, but by revulsion at cowardice masquerading as beauty. He hates pathos, false magic, and those who confuse violence with passion. Christopher acts not with his heart—that has long been dormant—but with his revulsion at baseness. That's why he takes the rebar. That's why he doesn't expect a thank you. And that's why he leaves without looking back. In his world, goodness doesn't require applause. It just happens. Sometimes. Against Christopher's will.
