Chris Lahiffe is a minor character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. He is Nino's little brother, with whom Nino has a close bond.[4]
In "Christmaster", after he began to want Christmas to arrive immediately so that he could receive his gift, he was akumatized by Hawk Moth into Christmaster, a Christmas elf-themed supervillain who could control toys in order to get his present for Santa Claus.
In "Timetagger", an older Chris from the future was akumatized by someone and became Timetagger, a time-traveling rapper-themed supervillain that could travel through time and send people/objects in any point of time, who came to the present.
Appearance
Physical appearance
Chris has light auburn hair, moderate orange eyes, and a moderate orange/light brown skin tone. He wears black glasses identical to his brother's.
As an teenager in the future, Chris becomes taller and his hair mostly remains the same except that his sides are cut.
Civilian attire
Chris wears a grayish lime green t-shirt with a white neck collar. on top, he wears a blue, indigo, and bluish black plaid flannel short-sleeved jacket. He also wears dark blue jeans that he tucks up from the bottom, and black and white striped vivid chartreuse green sneakers with small platform soles about 1 cm.
As a teenager, Chris wears a dark green gas mask with silver filters around his neck. He wears a black jacket with yellow linings. He has a lime green dress t-shirt underneath. He wears camouflage cargo pants and moderate green shutter shades. His shoes are black, lime green, and white with a velcro straps.
As Christmaster
As Christmaster, he had white skin, cream-colored teeth, matching scleras, and red eyes. He wore a black and red jester-like Santa Claus hat, a red and black tunic, black fingerless gloves, a black butterfly shaped mask around his eyes, and jester boots.
As Timetagger
Timetagger had pale blue skin, blue-violetish black hair, and vivid green eyes. Covering his eyes were green shades. He wore a black hoodie with sky blue edges, the hood over his head, and black sweatpants. Under the hood was a light brilliant yellow visor, and on the back of the hoodie was a symbol depicting a clock. Around his neck, he had a gas mask colored light brilliant arctic blue and light brilliant yellow and a yellow chain necklace with a clock on it. He wore high-top shoes that were mainly black with yellow laces and had blue symbols on them.
Personality
Chris is small and funny[4]. He considers himself a big boy, which is why he is capricious and rebellious when Marinette wants to play with toys with him, making him extremely hard to get along with. Despite having a lot of toys, he thinks dolls are for small children, and his toys are different. For this reason, he does not like to watch cartoons intended for younger people and protests when someone says he is too young to play certain games. However, the boy is highly curious, hinted at by how excited he is at the gifts that Marinette hides from him. He can be skeptical, but if someone doesn't admit to lying after he calls them out, he is quick to believe them. This is shown when he does not believe that Marinette is Santa's elf but believes it soon after calling her out, hoping that the girl would get the perfect gift for him. He hates the term love and thinks it's horrible, but he also knows how to be polite, greeting Ladybug while Cat Noir takes him away.
Even though Chris and his friends love to play even he knows that there are times to be serious. Upon seeing Ladybug and Cat Noir acting like his age and fighting so poorly to the point of them giving up their jewels. He knew of what would happen if Hawk Moth got them and like Manon is shown to be very clever.
As Christmaster, he was very greedy and fond of his toys, even willing to give up his akuma for them.
As Timetagger, he was incredibly arrogant and conceited in his own abilities and fond of taunting his enemies. He showed little to no concern about how his actions would affect others or history in general, sending people back in time at random and even tormenting Bunnyx by banishing her to various time periods. He was even willing to manipulate Hawk Moth as part of his scheme, making him believe that he was sent by his future counterpart to get the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses for him in the past, only to double-cross him by revealing that he wasn't the one who sent him at all.
Relationships
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug
In "Christmaster", Chris was being babysat by Marinette and gets annoyed when she suggests that he play with his toys rather than video games, insisting that he is a big boy. He notices that Marinette has several presents hidden in her room and asks about it, only for Marinette to lie and claim that she is one of Santa’s elves. He is upset with her when he learns the truth, though he quickly forgives her but is disgusted to learn that the presents she hid are for a boy.
Like everyone else in Paris, Chris greatly admires Ladybug.
In "Simpleman", he along with his friends rush to the heroes defense trying to convince them not give their jewels to the titular villain and by extension Hawk Moth showing his bravery. His willingness to help her come up with a plan to stop the titular villain.
As Christmaster, he was sure that his toys would defeat her and Cat Noir but when he saw that the heroes were willing to destroy them he agreed to Ladybug's deal and surrenders his akuma.
Nino Lahiffe
Not much is known about Chris's relationship with his brother, but Nino does care about him as he shows concern for him when he appears sad after being at Marinette's house and later on when he is akumatized.
Lila Rossi
In "Timetagger" when Lila babysits Chris and tells him that she invented the game "Freestyle Clash", Chris is amazed by this and calls her cool, unaware that she is lying.
Abilities
As Christmaster
He wielded a magic snow globe that, when a toy touched it, makes the toy enlarge, come to life, and have powers and abilities that corresponded to the nature of the toy. Examples included:
- Colonel Woof-Woof, a toy dog that could track people through smell.
- A toy catfish that could swim through the air.
- Ladybug and Cat Noir action figures that could use Lucky Charm and Cataclysm, respectively.
- The Ladybug and Cat Noir toys could also use their powers multiple times.
He also resided in a floating citadel made of building blocks.
His powers also transported Santa Claus and his sleigh to Paris.
As Timetagger
His spray paint gun allowed him to open a portal in time. He could open a portal for himself or shoot someone to send them to a time period of Timetagger's choosing. This often resulted in altering history, such as making Mr. Ramier a famous knight in the 15th century with a statue of him built outside the Louvre, ancient paintings depicting Jagged Stone and Nadja Chamack, and an ancient Egyptian stone tablet with an image of André the Ice Cream Man.
He could also use his gun to mark a location with graffiti and later use the graffiti to teleport "back in time" to that location in the same pose he struck when he marked the location.
