The 1980s was the decade that Christian Weston Chandler was born, under the name Christopher Weston Chandler. He wouldn't change his name untill 1994. According to Chris, he had a lot of trouble growing up, and even coped with a prolonged episode of muteness. Source material referring to the 1980s is scarce, and this article is mostly based on statements done by Chris on a later age, and on image material.
