Christopher Shaldred

Christopher Chareau de Red is a homunculus created by Huey with the knowledge he stole from Szilard, and like the other homunuculi,he doesn't age. He's the sort of figurehead of an organization referred to as Lamia which can be translated as "The Vampires", and earned the nickname from his red eyes and sharp teeth. He has a thing for nature. His weapons are two bayonets and he had a fight with Claire Stanfield in 1933 during which he obtained a serious stab wound but was rescued by Ricardo Russo later becoming Ricardo's bodyguard. He's been in shock since his battle with Claire and hasn't been able to kill people since. It's been hinted that he's still alive in the 2002 storyline. He also likes sweet food.

Appearance
Christopher is described to have a terrifying appearance, one that could be easily seen as the face of the monster. The sclera (in normal people serving as the whites of the eyes) is crimson red, his irises are white and the pupils dark as night. Like his eyes, he has red hair fashioned into an olden-day style that matches nicely with his archaic clothes; stiff, cumbersome clothing that would have been worn by European nobles centuries ago. His teeth are an even more disturbing, Firo commenting that it looked as if his original teeth had been been removed and sharp pointed teeth put in; overlapping each other in his smile. Chi mentions that he chooses to look this way.

Out of the Lamia, it can be said that Christopher looks most like a vampire, staying true to their group's namesake.

Personality
Firo commented that Christopher is similar to Claire in personality, the same eccentric quality while doing gruesome deeds. He speaks in a very theatrical manner, breaking out into song even when he is in the midst of slitting someone's throat. Some would say he's a little crazy, even he would. But while even his team members would call him insane, they still respect him somewhat as he is the apparent leader of the Lamia. He likes to do what he wants but still follows through on orders from Huey. With his erratic behaviour, he can be seen as a bit of a wildcard.

Christopher while being the one furthest away from nature in the group of homunculi in terms of appearance, loves and yearns to be with nature the most, entranced and often distracted by it (also singing a few songs about it too). Despite wanting to be with nature so and wanting to be 'natural' and normal, he rejects the norm of society for he is afraid of disapproval so he has distanced himself away from it. He also appears to dislike normal humans hurting his comrades as seen when he flew into rage when Claire cut Adele's cheek.

He has a twisted regard for friendship. He made friends with Firo but has no problems with killing him, and has said that he would kill his own friends for the sake of Huey. But at the same time he yearns for friends the most, and has stated that he wants to have a thousand friends.

Abilities
Christopher being an incomplete Homunculus does not age, meaning that he can survive as long as he is not killed in battle. That aside, Christopher acts as a leader-of-sorts towards the Lamia and can take up leadership roles; implying great leadership skills. Christopher is also one of the most powerful fighters seen, being the only person in the history of Baccano to be able to land a single blow on Claire Stanfield, the legendary assassin Vino. Claire himself vouches for Christopher's abilities stating that he was the third most powerful person he knows, the first being Claire Stanfield, the second being the Former Felix Walken.

His weapons of choice are bayonets that he can make appear like magic similar to Chane's knives.

However Christopher has been in shock since his defeat by the hands of Vino and has been left unable to kill since.

1933
The following is a bit too simplified, important facts may be left out, you can help Baccano wiki by expanding this section.

Christopher was first seen admiring a flower, when some goons from the Russo Family attempted to silence him. While being grabbed he continued to rant on about the flower and it was then the his captors noticed that he looked like a vampire. Christopher then begins to slaughter the goons, shortly thereafter being joined by Chi and Leeza. The goons complain that this wouldnt't have happened if Ladd Russo had been here. When Leeze informs them that they have a job from Huey Laforet, Christopher exaggerates the time saying that it had been years since they last had a job, but Chi corrects him by saying that it had only been three months.

Lamia arrives a day early and so Christopher decides to stroll the city to find some friends and bumps into Firo Prochainezo. Christopher becomes strangely impressed and envious that Firo is capable of running through the rain without caring. Christopher offers Firo (who at that time was under the impression that Dallas Genoard had kidnapped Ennis and Ronnie) an umbrella. After explaining the situation to him, offers his aid to Firo, which he relunctantly accepts.

Later Lamia stays at Firo's flat with Firo and Czeslaw Meyer, Czeslaw noting that they "felt" like Ennis. The next day Firo and Lamia head towards the Mist Wall, when in the lobby Firo separates after receiving info on where Dallas is, he heads up to the Bable restaurant.

Christopher arrives after Firo defeated Dallas, and starts to massacre all of the Nebula workers, much to the horror of bystanders, when Donny tries to stop him, Christopher manages to briefly hold his own, until the fight is called off by Adele.

After a brief discussion with Firo, the elevator door chimes and Christopher throws a knife at it, but was surprised that Claire Stanfield managed to deflect all of the knives. After Claire defeated Adele, Christopher flew in to attack him, but was suddenly shocked to find that the Nebula workers were suddenly coming back to life. It is than that Chi comes into the room and demands that they retreat. Tim later comes and takes Christopher off the mission. However now that he was offically off the mission he decides to end things with Claire personally. Claire agrees and takes matters "Outside" the two move to the roof to battle.
