Early Life
Christopher has been very iconic for sometime as he was responsible for many scandals that plagued the Belltower Associates during his time serving as the Head of one of its affiliated organizations. He had fough during the Middle East War and had discriminated against non-augmented people leading him to become an augmentation supremacist.

Events of the Story
During the events of The Divide, Chris attempts to help turn public opinion around by blaming all Pro-Human organizations as bigoted individuals and help promote human-augmentation. He sends a small battalion worths of New Dawn Agents to the Eclipse HQ based in New York and they attack and destroyed the HQ. His soldiers were disguised as Human Militia insurgents and is able to operate undercover as a result. He then manipulated the media by threatening to attack them if any of the journalists had uncovered the augmented attackers despite the Militia being fanatically anti-augmentation and as a result, oer eight journalists are murdered by Chris code named Odin for short. Odin then launched a whole series of attacks against the United States and killed over 240,000 people as a result over the course of twelve days in a series of sophisticated and highly planned out terrorist attacks against groups like Humanity Front and even the US Military. Odin then broadcasted how he would submit all non-augmented people to help them "evolve" or they would suffer the consequences. This prompted an investigation and eventually military involvement of the National Defense Organization. He would then challenge the NDO to see if they were qualified opponents for him and his men.

After the end of Arc 1, Karishima appears again in Tokyo, Japan where he hopes to gain financial aid from the Yakuza in hopes of strengthening its division in the US. He manages to convince the Yakuza and he leaves just as Lance Irons breaks into the building where he was meeting at. Chris is then seen with his brother, Tkashi, who serves as an executive of the Yakuza about new plans on the group's operations within the United States.
