Chris (Japanese:クリス) is one of the main characters that appears in the anime and manga series, Beyblade: Metal Fury. He is a blader for hire, who goes around winning battles for payment. He's a Legendary Blader, specifically part of the Bladers of the Four Seasons, consisting of Gingka Hagane, Kyoya Tategami, Kenta, and himself, of whom is the Blader of Winter. His Beyblade is Phantom Orion B:D.

Chris was a former antagonist, who originally sided with Nemesis after meeting Johannes. Although now he is against Nemesis with the remaining Legendary Bladers, Chris had a dark past. A past, in which he was abandoned by his friends at a tournament, and left with nobody to stand by. Despite this, Chris has now found his true friends, the Legendary Bladers, in which they'll have to do all they can if they want to stop Nemesis from destroying the world.

Physical Appearance
Chris has large, spiky, blonde hair and and purple eyes. He has a light skin tone and wears a red jacket with yellow, white, and blue highlights. He wears a blue undershirt which longer in his right side, khaki pants, a black belt, red fingerless gloves and a silver dog tag on a neckchain.

Prior to becoming a Legendary Blader, Chris sported a different design. Instead, he wore a western-type of clothing. He sported a red hanky, brown jacket over a black undershirt. He wore brown, fingerless gloves, a brown belt with a silver centre, along with an additional belt similar to the one Gingka wears. He also sported a silver holster, with blue jeans.

Personality
Chris is a tough and fierce confident Blader. He fights greatly in all his battles and is very powerful, that he fought in mountains, jungles, ice, swamps and any very harsh environments, that Chris is able to work well under those conditions. He can be a bit cocky and over confident but nevertheless, he is a very strong Blader.

Chris is also notorious for his dark attitude. The attitude that he obtained when he was abandoned by his friends during a tournament, prior to becoming a Legendary Blader. This left Chris alone, with nobody to lean on. Despite this, and his frequent denials, deep down Chris has a very strong blader's spirit, and the desire for a good battles. As Gingka pointed out, he awakened during his battle with Masamune, which proved that he had the spirit of a true blader. However, because he is now against Nemesis rather on his side as he was previous, it might hint that Chris will leave his dark attitude as he is with his friends, the Legendary Bladers. He Chris put up an awesome fight with Ryuga and didn't even lose, proving that he is a powerful blader, although it should be noted that Ryuga didn't intend to defeat him, as he wanted to take away the star fragment in his bey, and Orion needed to keep spinning for L-drago to keep absorbing its power. Additionally, Ryuga and Chris battled for less than two minutes before Kenta and Johannes interfered.

In Whereabouts of Orion, Gingka attempted to get Chris to help them. Chris said that if they hire him he would help, but that his fee is very expensive. Chris was challenged by King, who is angry at his mockery at Masamune and his request for payment.. The two battle consecutive until Gingka, Yuki, Zeo, Toby, Johannes, Aguma, Bao, Benkei and Ryuga joined the match making it an all out brawl.

In Gingka vs Chris, Chris challenges Gingka. During there match Chris reveals his past and how he was abandoned by teammates and how he trained extremely hard ever since.

 * Chris is the only Blader of the Four Seasons that didnt appear in Metal Fusion or Metal Masters.
 * The spirit of Chris' bey is more likely to be based on "Phantom" rather than "Orion".
