Christopher Moltisanti is Tony's nephew and Carmela's first
cousin. His father Dickie Moltisanti was something of a mentor to
the youthful Tony. So when the senior Moltisanti was shot to death,
Tony, in turn, took Christopher under his wing. As Christopher
remembers very little of his father - he was still in diapers when
Dickie was killed - Tony's the closest thing he's ever had to a
paternal figure.
Under Tony's tutelage Christopher became a cugine and eventually
a made man - but his ascent wasn't smooth. For one thing,
Christopher is impulsive, and his impulses are often violent: he
once "handled" a negotiation with a rival garbage concern by
turning their representative into refuse and hauling him to Staten
Island - without permission. For another, Christopher wasn't always
one hundred percent certain that this thing of ours was the thing
for him. He has more than once explored the possibility of a film
career, going so far as to befriend some Hollywood types and write
a screenplay entitled, "You Bark, I Bite." But when Tony got wind
of it. Christopher's been a devoted "family man" ever since. When
his fiancée Adriana tried to convince him to turn for the Feds, he
had to face the ultimate decision: rat out Tony and enter witness
protection, or rat out Adriana to Tony and get her killed. In the
end, Christopher couldn't imagine leaving the only life he's ever
known
