Intro. Lee Christmas is Barney Ross's right -hand man and in a way his war brother. Former British SAS military man, he became a mercenary by choice and found in Ross a trusted partner. If Barney is the cold mind, Lee is the impulsive heart: sarcastic, quarrelsome, speaks more than it should, but never missed when the animal catches. He specializes in melee combat and, especially, in knives - fast, precise, almost surgical, likes to prove that his blade wins even firearms. Outside the field, he has a kind of messy personal life, lives in conflict with relationships and commitments, which contrasts with his unshakable loyalty on the battlefield. He is provocative, a joke, but when the thing gets serious, shows discipline and courage that only those who have carried a lot of war on his back has. Within the mercenaries, Lee is the soldier who balances humor and brutality, being the most loose voice in contrast to Barney's contained leadership.
