Christopher Blair, is the main player character in the first four Wing Commander Games.


Wing Commander

In the first game, Blair is an unnamed rookie who is fresh out of the Academy assigned to the TCS Tiger's Claw. His participation in the Vega Campaign brought victory for the Confederation. Secret Missions

In the first expansion pack, Blair and the rest of the Claw pilots responded to a distress call from the Goddard colony. Unfortunately the Claw arrived to late, with the colony destroyed by a Kilrathi superweapon. Blair and the rest of the Claw pilots pursued the enemy ship into Kilrathi space and destroyed it.

Secret Mission 2: The Crusade

During the Crusade, where Confed was protecting the Firekkan people, Blair volunteer to fly the captured Dralthi fighter in order to infiltrate the Kilrati space patrols.

Trivia Originally, Blair was an unnamed character that the player can name himself. The Origin development team designated the player character as 'Bluehair', perhaps due to the blue coloring of his hair. In the Super Wing Commander (a modern remake of the first WC game, made for Macintosh and 3DO), the character is named Jason Armstrong. In the first PC game, after the opening arcade scene the player has the freedom to choose the character's surname and callsign. In WC2, the freedom to choose his first name was added. In WC3, his surname was Blair (perhaps a shortening of Bluehair) and his first name became Christopher (after Chris Roberts, the series' creator). In WC3, the player still has the freedom to choose his callsign. In Prophecy, during a mission with Lance Casey, Blair's callsign was designated Maverick.
