==Biography==
In [[2305]], Christopher married [[Madelyne Sian]] of the [[Sian Commonality]]. Parliament passed a law that specifically barred the children of this union from becoming Captain-General, though it did not exclude Christopher himself. Parliament considered Sian a hostile neighbor and did not want to take chances allowing the family into the line of succession. Christopher's descendants became known as the "Sian-Mariks".<ref name=HMp13/><ref name=HHM14>''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 14</ref>

The young deaths of Madelyne and Christopher left their children to be raised by other family members. [[Kyle Sian-Marik|Kyle]] and [[Dorian Sian-Marik|Dorian]] did not understand their parents' decision to allow them to be excluded from the Captain-Generalcy and grew bitter and resentful of the ruling Marik line. This grew into outright violence when the siblings assassinated Captain-General [[Geraldine Marik]] in [[2364]]. The fratricidal conflict lasted until [[2436]].<ref name=HM13 /><ref name=HHM14 /><ref name=SMBK />
