Chris Marker is a supporting character in the Enemy series, first appearing in The Dead. A silent book-obsessed boy who went to Rowhurst, Chris made it to the Natural History Museum with Justin and Brooke. He calls himself "The Librarian", and is writing a book known as The Chronicles of Survival about the lives of the kids who survived the initial outbreak.

Personality

Chris sees books as the future and likes to lose himself to them. He is likely schizophrenic, seeing the ghosts of past friends and writers around him. However, he does not appear to be negatively impacted by his hallucinations, as he finds comfort in their presence.

History

Chris did not seem to have a good relationship with his mother. Chris believed that he saw the ghosts of writers around him, and was taken to several doctors who tried to help him realize that what he was seeing wasn't real. He attended Rowhurst School.

Three weeks after the disaster began, Chris holed up in School House with eighteen other boys.[1]


Synopsis

The Dead (2010)

Chris is seen in School House reading a book, as Ed mentions that reading is all that Chris seems to do these days.[1]

On the coach bus, Chris remarks to himself that books could open doors to different universes and were more interesting than reality, despite sickos being rampant in the streets.

Once at the Imperial War Museum, Chris finds its library and immerses himself into their books, where he finds a gray lady sitting in the darkness.

While evacuating the museum due to the fire spreading across London, Chris is the one to suggest taking the books from the Imperial War Museum and loading them onto the Tesco truck for later information. At the time, others on the truck found it silly to rescue books when in danger of the fire, but Ed agrees that it is a good idea. Once Chris collects the books, the female ghost he had seen before travels with him.

Between The Dead and The Fear

Some time between The Dead and The Fear, Chris arrived at the Natural History Museum with Justin and Brooke. He became in charge of the museum's library, and began to write a book about what happened the disaster, titling it The Chronicles of Survival. He enlisted several other kids to help him with his work, including a girl named Lettis Slingsbury.

The Fallen (2013)

In The Fallen, Chris holds interviews with all the survivors that come and writes down their stories in The Chronicles of Survival, to keep a record and to hold their stories for those in the future.[2]

The End (2015)

Chris writes down the names of all the kids who died in the final battle, honouring their deaths.

Relationships

Justin

Justin is in charge of the Natural History Museum, and trusts Chris to run the library for him.

Lettis Slingsbury

Lettis is one of Chris' "scribes", who he remarks in The End used to be one of his most devoted writers before the Promithios expedition.

The Gray Lady

The Gray Lady is one of Chris's hallucinations. However, he is not negatively affected by her presence and finds comfort in it, protecting the books so that she will protect him.
