== Story ==
Sir Christian, an aspiring Fragrance Alchemist, is shipwrecked on the [[Regna]]n Isles during a pleasure cruise. While trying to get home, he ends up helping (and fighting) various local tribes and pirates before finally escaping on [[Catherine]]'s ship as she makes her way from [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]] to [[Erathia]].

{{H4Story|Knight|During Erathia's [[Restoration Wars|restoration]] and the ensuing wars, Christian proved himself to be a loyal and valuable member of the military. He is a committed and organized commander who provides his service and adventurous spirit to any and all worthy causes.}}

== Trivia ==
* Christian is named after the developer [[Christian Vanover]], who worked on the first two ''Heroes'' games as a map maker, and was later in charge of writing heroes' biographies, the lore from the game's manual and [[Lost Lore|short stories]] for {{roe}}.
* One of Sir Christian's previous adventures from before the events of [[Foolhardy Waywardness]]{{-wa}} is alluded to in {{homm2}}, where an [[ocean bottle]] with a message from him is found. Around the time of the [[Succession Wars]], he was stranded on the Dragon Island. This is how the character was first introduced. His bio later subtly referenced this by stating that Christian is a wanderer who has set foot in nearly every part of Enroth.
* [[Marcus Finch]] addresses him in [[Geography]]{{-wll}}. Since Christian is from Enroth, him being consulted on the foreign land of [[Antagarich|Erathia]] serves as a natural framework for conveying this lore to the audience.
* His unused bio for [[Foolhardy Waywardness]]{{-wa}} reads: ''Sir Christian is a notorious sissy boy. His father has all but given up on his son becoming a great and powerful warlord.''
