Christopher Mercer

Christopher Mercer is the son of a powerful criminal lord in San Francisco and the biological father of Henry Mitchell Jr. He is currently doing life in prison at San Quentin State Prison, for murder, theft, and presumably other unknown reasons.

He was made into a main recurring character during Season 2B after Junior goes to meet him for the first time in Saving Inspector Junior.

History
Christopher claimed that he had always found older women attractive, and had a girlfriend of his own age, only once, which was also the only serious relationship he ever had. She was/is the mother of Henry Junior. However, she ran out on him, which he suspected was due to his criminal lifestyle.

Christopher was unaware of his son's existence until he was informed after his arrest, which was set up by Paige Matthews with the help of a conjured detective to protect her adopted son. Christopher showed no interest in ever suing for custody, although he might never even get the chance as it was expected he'd go to prison for the rest of his life. While on a 'date' with Paige, he showed her a tattoo indicating he had killed three people, the first one when he was 14 years old.

Release from Prison
After a long, hard battle and many promises, a strong-willed lawyer by the name of Olivia Clark was able to get Christopher out of prison. He is now on parole and working as a waiter at Halliwells. - Legacy of the Father
