Character: Chace 'Chrusher' Kristoph (Chris 'Crusher' Stevenson)

Chace Kristoph (formerly known as Chris “Crusher” Stevenson) is the main protagonist of this comic book and graphic novel. Hurled into the spotlight unwittingly, as he was just a regular, every day, normal high school freshman in Oswegonia, a childish game of one-upmanship between he, Mike Butski and Ron Foule became a full-fledged grudge match as time went on. Formed The Conquerors, a group of good ol’ boy high schoolers of all stripes against mischievous, trouble-making classmates and later on, corrupt teachers.

Raised by his mom and adoptive uncle Wesley “TrOgre” Stevenson (who he believed was his father for years, as his father was killed in Southeast Asia when he was a youth), he received a ruby-bloodstone crucifix from his grandfather which was apparently the induction into a mystic group of vigilantes known as the Chr’shr, a secret group of justice-seeking vigilantes that work outside of the restrictions of law in cases of criminals who also operate as otherwise untouchable by the law (or in control of it).

His character the straight man amidst the craziness of the rest of the book, but often getting dragged into and joining the craziness of those around him. Strong moral fiber, intelligent, athletic, trained and highly-skilled in several martial arts, Chrusher later on becomes a private detective with a background in Forensic science and a skill at forensic art, while secretly being a member of the Ch’Shr secret society of vigilantes.
