Praetor

Note on Credibility: Praetor has been deemed to be an unreliable narrator for the following reasons: • The members are all infamous attention seekers, and merely got in touch with Chris with the sole intent of piggybacking off his notoriety on the internet. • The members will occasionally say edgy and disgusting things purely for shock value. Bear this in mind, and use healthy skepticism when taking statements from the subject being discussed.

Praetor (sometimes referred to as "The Praetors") is a group of edgy enablers and carpetbaggers, some of whom live around Goochland, Virginia, who produce and sell Sonichu-themed products with Chris's permission, giving him a cut of the profits in exchange. In October 2020, photos were discovered of the group posing with Chris on Instagram. Although Praetor was "officially partnered" with Chris, things like how they began contact with Chris, or their true relation to him are unknown.

On 19 October 2020, the Praetor group posted their announcement of a collaboration with Chris onto Instagram and Twitter, showing Chris along with two girls and a guy, who are tagged on the account on Instagram. Chris also held a sermon with the audience being the Praetors at the Goochland public library, which Chris uploaded on 8 November 2020. A picture of a member of the Praetor's purchasing a taser and a Pikachu mask was posted on November 15th, with the taser planned to be used on Chris's collection of magic rocks to activate the Dimensional Merge (with Chris also considering using the taser on himself, an idea Praetor objected to out of concern for Chris's safety), though the taser plans seemingly fell through.

Praetor was a target of harassment by the Watchmen group, believed by them to be a group of Idea Guy-Esque trolls. Many rumors about the group were subsequently spread around by Watchmen leader Naught, Watchmen member MKRNightVee, Larry Vaughn, and Bella following the release of a clip of a call between Chris, Praetor leader Caden Peck, and many Watchmen members.

On 29 July 2021, a four-minute call, where Chris admitted to having sexual intercourse with his mother, was leaked. It was soon revealed that the caller was Praetor member Isabella Loretta Janke.

In Jail Letter - 18 January 2022, Chris mentioned that he wished to get back in contact with Praetor. Later that year, Praetor restocked their Etsy shop with new items, including art pieces Chris mailed to them from jail.

Known members

“	In the group, Annie is very much psychically able. Owen is like the magician of the group; among his skill set, he can also make a variety of special teas and such that can be like potions and elixirs. Cabell is also psychically inclined, but she's the artist. Caden is very open-minded, and the brains and business.	”

Main article: Caden Peck

Caden Peck (tinyhorse01) is a co-founder and the leader of Praetor, as well as one of Chris's "business associates". According to Chris in the 2021 Jail Call, Caden is responsible for scanning his work to later publish. A few leaked DMs between Chris and Larry Vaughn also revealed plans to create a Discord server. Caden was also in charge of the Praetor accounts which had directly interacted with Chris.

He was also the sole Praetor member involved in the Taser Call, being accompanied by several Watchmen members like The WCT and MKR.

Chris stated in a 12 July 2021 chat that Caden was one of the people he had asked for help with getting together a posse for "sharing and protection" at Everfree Northwest, as Jacob Sockness had previously declared that he'd also attend the event.

According to several jail letters, Caden gave Chris the idea to move Barb out of 14 Branchland Court, telling him about her declining mental condition. Chris also claimed that he'd also help him raise a $150,000 fundraiser so that he can go back home after he has been released from jail. After Kenneth Engelhardt had criticized Caden's actions, Chris had berated Kenneth, telling him that he shouldn't be "judging Caden in that vain[sic]", and admits to the fundraiser being Caden's idea.

Annie Ikenberry

Annie Ikenberry (annirenee) is an OnlyFans camgirl who was recruited by Praetor in order to "lure in" Chris. In a 17 February 2021 discussion with the Watchmen, Chris confessed that he had feelings for her.

Owen Sundstrom

Owen Sundstrom (owen_sundstrom) is a co-founder of Praetor, according to Larry Vaughn. Not much else is known about him other than him posing with Chris during a sermon about the Merge.

Unnamed Member

An Instagram tag was associated with the photo but was censored by the CWCki due to Praetor having mistagged the photo with an unrelated account. Watchmen members have also misidentified the woman as being Bella when Chris told Kyle about the animated intro she made for him.^{[citation needed]}

Isabella Loretta Janke

Main article: Isabella Loretta Janke

Isabella Loretta Janke had collaborated with Praetor to make the animated Chris-Chan Sonichu Introduction video, and had an unclear relationship with them going forward. Bella claims that she cut ties with them early in 2021 but according to the Watchmen, she was a prominent Praetor member up until at least June.^{[citation needed]} Chris claims in a jail letter that Bella was not an active participant in Praetor's sales, and that her primary contribution was her work on the animated intro.

Etsy shop

On 11 December 2020, Chris advertised for their Etsy shop, linking to medallions produced by the group, explaining that he was currently unable to produce the medallions himself and so outsourced the production to Praetor, mentioning he would get a cut of the profits in exchange. In February 2021, Chris mentioned he had been paid $400 out of $6,000 Praetor had made.

The account on Etsy is also named Praetor, and they are the owner of OfficialCWCmart. As of 15 December, they have sold 151 medallions, and are considered a bestseller.

The Golden Church of Sonichu

Main article: Golden Church of Sonichu messages

The Golden Church of Sonichu was a Discord server created by Praetor. Customers gained access to it after purchasing a Golden Sonichu medallion from their Etsy page.

“

NOTE: When the Golden Medallions were first introduced, they functioned as a ticket into Christine's Golden Sonichu Discord, the beginnings of her attempt at crowdfunding an actual church. This is no longer the case.

”

The server sat in limbo following Chris's arrest, with users primarily posting about Chris's antics in jail.

Praetor and Tasers

Main article: Taser

What do they plan to do with that taser?

“	we had a whole discussion about why it's a bad idea.	”
Caden, one of Praetor's members, trying to talk Chris out of tazing himself.

Praetor has infamously provided the sale of tasers and/or stun guns, supposedly for the purpose of simulating "zapping to the extreme".

On 15 November 2020, Praetor posted a screenshot of an online shopping service's shopping cart - in the cart was a Pikachu mask and a VIPERTEK VTS-989 560 BV stun gun. Praetor stated:

“	As Praetor, we always work hard to produce the best videos we can. Good works are in progress!	”

Chris stated in February 2021 that he wanted to use a taser to stun his Gate Crystal and Celestial Key quartz crystals in an attempt to activate the Dimensional Merge.

Watchmen leader Naught had then created a vicious rumor, stating that Larry Vaughn was in on a plot with Praetor when he shared bits of a conversation that he had with Chris regarding his intention to shock his crystals.

A signed taser was later posted on Praetor's Esty with the following description:

“

Recent Christorians may recall the Taser Incident, where the Praetor group while working with Christine posted images of tasers onto their respective Instagrams and Twitters. Through leaked chats and discussion, it was hypothesized that the Praetor group was planning to tase Chris on video. This lead to a flurry of drama and doxing, and the tasers were forgotten. The tasers had originally been intended for sale, as signed ones would be put out for purchase. To avoid negative attention, they were boxed and stored away to wait until the smoke cleared. Now, these zappy little buggers are available for sale once again! Each Taser is hand signed by Christine herself, emblazoned with her autograph and the iconic phrase "Zappin' it Up!" Per Christine's suggestion. Now you too can zap it to the extreme. Handle with care, while these are collectables they can be recharged and may have residual charge left over. Package comes with: -Autographed Taser -Charging cable

”

A post from their Golden Church of Sonichu server has them also promoting flamethrowers.

Jail Saga

Despite being in Jail, Chris was still able to get in contact with Praetor members, allowing them to promote art and artifacts that he left for them.

Medallions

See also: Jail Medallion Promotions

In early May 2022, three different versions of Sonichu medallions were listed for sale on Praetor's Etsy shop. The medallions were apparently made prior to Chris's arrest and had been stored in an unknown rented location and at the Chandler residence until their listings.

Regular Medallion

Seemingly identical to the medallions sold during the first run of sales, these were not crafted by Chris. The price reflects this, as these were the cheapest of the group of medallions. Nevertheless, in an undated audio recording released alongside them, Chris referred to these medallions as legit and authentic.

Handcrafted Medallion

In contrast to the regular medallions, these medallions were apparently made by Chris. The medallions are of a noticeably different style compared to their cheaper counterparts and are adorned with Chris's signature on the back, so their description may very well be truthful.

A handcrafted medallion was included with each purchase of "Golden Church of Sonichu Cult Robes." The robes came in two sizes. Red robes were large, while blue robes were extra large. No smaller sizes were offered, as "Golden Church members were assumed to be naturally, uh, large people." A yellow mask with red Sonichu-style cheeks was also bundled with each robe.

Megastone Medallion

The most expensive of the medallions, the megastone medallions were a variant of the handcrafted medallions. In addition to being signed by Chris, the back of the medallions contained a "megastone" which Chris verbally claimed to "have personally blessed and programmed each and every one of." As such, wearers could "really […] feel the spiritual aura and charge and vibrations within."
