Born with a unilateral cleft lip, Chris has developed into a good looking and muscular man. The local farrier, he bought the forge, where he had been an apprentice, when his boss Ronnie retired. Son of Susan Carter, Chris is as competent at chewing the fat with his customers as he is with the technical aspects of working with metal and fitting horses' shoes.
Through his teenage years he had a number of girlfriends and then while at a music festival got together with Alice when they were both 20 years old. Their relationship swiftly developed into a serious commitment, much to his parents' delight and her parents' bemusement - especially when they returned from the US blithely announcing they were married in Las Vegas. At the time, Brian described it as a "starter marriage". The union remained unwavering for a decade until facing its toughest challenge of Alice's alcoholism. Their marriage didn't survive, but they amicably share the parenting of their daughter, Martha.
