Christopher Thorndyke

Christopher Thorndyke (クリストファー ソーンダイク Kurisutofā Sōndaiku), also simply known as Chris (クリス Kurisu), is the main human protagonist and one of Sonic's best friends in the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. He is a twelve-year-old kind and caring boy and who lives in Station Square on Earth, which is regarded as an alternate version of Sonic's home planet in another dimension. At the start of the series, Chris finds Sonic at the bottom of his swimming pool and saves him from drowning and hosts him, Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese for most of the series. Chris, very much like Tails, looks up to Sonic like an older brother figure and is always willing to do whatever he can to help his new-found friends and thwart the plans of Dr. Eggman.

Background
Chris lives with his grandfather Chuck Thorndyke (who is a scientist), his bodyguard and butler Mr. Tanaka, and his maid Ella. He lives in a large, luxurious mansion due to his parents' success in their individual fields of work. Chris' father Nelson Thorndyke is a big-wig businessman who is the CEO of a software company, while Chris' mother Lindsey Thorndyke is a movie star. As a child, Chris rarely saw his parents, which made him become very lonely and finds his luxurious mansion to be pretty boring.
