Chris Daughtry

Christopher "Chris" Daughtry was a singer/songwriter, former Reality TV contestant, and supporting character in the Nest. He played a major role in the Fancy Restaurant arc.

Personality
Chris Daughtry was a born performer, with extraordinary drive and determination. Insisting on his right to make up his own mind, he demanded freedom of thought and action, and did not let anything or anyone stand in his way once he was committed to his goal. However, this could lead to a certain amount of ego, and frustration if he did not receive the recognition he deserves.

Trenton
Chris Daughtry first met Trenton after the latter wrote a long essay titled "Why Chris Daughtry Should've Won The Masked Singer", about Daughtry's run on the Reality TV competition show The Masked Singer. They became close after that, with Trenton, at times, becoming fiercely protective of the singer.

History
Chris Daughtry, due to an unspecified reason, found himself obsessed with a string of unsolved murders along the East Coast that were perpetuated by an unidentified serial killer known as Hivemind. Daughtry grew increasingly spiteful and angry with Hivemind after they escaped from the eyes of justice numerous times, and as a result, he took matters into his own hands, kickstarting the events of the Fancy Restaurant.

Daughtry enlisted the help of the Nesters after having come into close contact with their universal power, wanting their assistance in tracking down Hivemind, who they believed was hiding within the walls of an unimposing restaurant in an abstract corner of the Nest. Daughtry, however, flew too close to the sun, leading to an altercation with Hivemind that got Daughtry shot in the chest. He would bleed out and die later that same night, leaving the Nester alone to solve the mystery of Hivemind along with the other employees of the restaurant.
