Born and raised in an academic family, Christanius was no stranger to knowledge or education. Latin and Greek were as familiar to him as English. By age 15, he was pursuing the philosophy program at Harvard University. In the eyes of his parents, the gifted teen could do no wrong, at least until the Great War. Christanius enlisted to fight. His heroic valor and promotion to infantry officer (Commander of the Third Company, 13th battalion Royal Canadian Expeditionary Force) all fell upon the deaf ears of his parents, who disapproved of their son's actions. Christanius was ultimately struck down by fire at the second Battle of Ypres and would have died had he not been discovered on the battlefield by carrion Nosferatu. Arbitrarily feeding and Embracing, they cursed Christanius with the latter and left him to fend for himself in the no-man's- land of war.
Christanaius' Embrace was a night of hellish half-memories punctuated by constant shelling, poison-gas clouds, feeding off the bodies of the dying, and simply trying to survive. The nightmare came to a climax near sunrise, when Christanius was forced to seek sanctuary from the sun beneath a mountain of corpses that awaited mass burial. Beneath the shelter of carcasses, Christanius underwent an epiphany and dreamed of Caine. In a conversation with the First Brother, Christanius was told to seek out all the children of the Second Generation.
When Christanus emerged the next evening, the Sabbat discovered him and inducted him into the fold. His thirst for knowledge focused on Caine, and his life revolved around discovering the meaning of his vision. Within 50 years, his fervent quest made him one of the most recognized authorities on Cainite and pre-Sabbat genealogies. That was when he was invited to the Librarians.
