Early Life

Chris was born in April 1726 in the county of Essex. Not much else is known about his early life(place holder)

Military Service Chris joined the Royal Navy in 1751 shortly before the outbreak of the Royal Black Guard Rebellion. During the war he served as a gunner on Lord Johnny Goldtimbers-Newcastle's flagship The Black Destroyer. During the battle he was struck piece of debris from a shot that hit near his position leaving a scar on his face, but he continued to fight distinguishing himself as as a brave and loyal solider. Some time after the battle he got recruited in to the elite Black Guard Regiment as one of the original members.

As a veteran of the RBG Rebellion he was well respected and was quick to gain the rank of Sergeant and showing much promise was eventually promoted to Captain. As a Captain, he commanded the 2nd Company of the 1st Regiment of the elite Black Guard under Lt. General Geoffrey Wildgrin Mallace. After the departure of Lt. General Wildgrin, along with other notable members of HM Cabinet the Leadership of the Black Guard was was decimated, Lt. General Wildgrin was gone, Maj. General Jeff Mallace was MIA presumed dead and Captain James Goldtimbers retiring, that left only Captain Chris Gunhound. As the last officer reamining, Captain Gunhound assumed command of the remaining forces of the Black Guard. He was later granted the rank of Lt. General of the Black Guard by Lord Newcastle himself. After some time leading the Black Guard, it was decided that the Black Guard would be formed by His Majesty's Cabinet into the Royal Marine Corps, with Lt. General Gunhound as commanding officer.

Now Lt. Colonel Gunhound was charged with rebuilding the HM Royal Marines. He chose Jeremiah Sharkbones to be his second-in-command as Sharkbones had distinguished himself as a Captain in the Black Guard. Together, Lt. Col. Gunhound and Major Sharkbones rebuilt the Royal Marine Corps. Sadly, not long after this, Lt. Colonel Gunhound was reported missing after a his ship was ambushed by  pirates at sea after he had been summoned to appear in Parliament.

Then one day, miraculously,  Lt. Col. Gunhound was spotted returning to London on sea turtles after many months missing and presumed dead. When he returned he found that the Royal Marines had flourished in his absence and that the new commander Christopher Jameson had continued to lead the marines brilliantly. Naturally, the honorable Mr. Gunhound understood that the new leader was Lt. Col. Jameson and was proud that someone had continued to grow the maines. Not looking for his old command back, he graciously accepted the rank of Major in the Marine Corps. After some time, Lt. Col. Jameson decided to depart to Russia and once again Major Gunhound was called upon to lead His Majesty's Royal Marine Corps.
