Christian Troy is the marketable and sex-appeal half of McNamara/Troy. He is a good-looking man known for his womanizing ways.

The character is eventually shown to have a vulnerable side beneath his callous exterior, however. In one episode, he confesses that he was molested as a child by his foster father. This early trauma destroyed his faith in a just God. In another story arc, he meets his biological mother, who tells him that he is the product of rape; she then cuts off any contact with him because he is the spitting image of his father, her rapist.

Christian is business partners with his college roommate and lifelong best friend, Sean McNamara. He has always been very close to Sean's family and is like an uncle or second father to Sean's two children, Matt and Annie. During Season 2, Christian found out that he is actually Matt's biological father. He had a one night stand in college with Sean's girlfriend, who is now his wife, Julia.

There is nothing that Christian enjoys in the world more than sex. Despite seeming like he could never settle down, Christian fell in love with former model/porn star, Kimber Henry. What started out as a one night stand, developed into a relationship that brought out Christian's heart. Christian asked Kimber to marry him and their relationship was going wonderfully until Kimber was kidnapped and tortured by The Carver on their wedding day. There relationship hasn't been the same since Kimber escaped the clutches of the madman. She has told Christian she never wants to see him again. However, Christian seems determined to make things right with her.

Christian has had many one night stands, but also has had other relationships. He has had a long running relationship with Gina Russo, a woman he met at a sex-addicts meeting. He thought that he had impregnated her and did everything he could to help her out and become a good father. When the baby was born, it turned out that the baby was half african-american. Christian was devastated that he was not Wilbur's father.

Christian has also shown his caring side when he helped artificially inseminate his anesthesiologist, Liz Cruz. She is a confident lesbian who desperately wanted to have a child before she was too old. However, she terminated the pregnancy when she learned that the baby would have birth defects.

Christian is a very cocky and confident man. He often argues with his business partner and best friend, Sean McNamara, over the morality of their line of work. His swagger has also caused him to hold grudges and not get along with other doctors like Quentin Costa. It also led him to have sex with former employee Grace Santiago.

Christian has also had a few memorable run-ins with fellow surgeon Dr.Merril Bobolit. In Merril's final appearance on the show, he attempted to cut Christian's face off.

In the third season, Christian himself is raped by The Carver, a masked serial killer preying on McNamara/Troy's patients. He is briefly suspected of, and arrested once for, the Carver's crimes. A distraught Christian temporarily withdraws from work, prompting Sean to bring in another surgeon, Quentin Costa. C. He almost married Kimber but she was kidnapped by the Carver; after she was rescued, she would not let Christian see what the Carver did to her face. She broke off their relationship so she could do some soul-searching. Eventually, Kimber came back as a Scientologist. When Kimber became pregnant, Christian stole DNA for a paternity test, convinced he was the real father.

During that time Christian began dreaming about having sex with Sean. Distressed, he entered psychotherapy with Dr. Faith Wolper — and eventually had sex with her. She later told him that she is a recovering sex addict, and realized after their tryst that she still had a problem. She then asked him to remove a tattoo an ex-lover had forced her to get as a means of degrading her. Christian eventually realized the dreams are the result of his own personal identity crisis, and resolved his problems with Sean. He also began an affair with Michelle Landau, the wife of McNamara/Troy's new owner. Soon after they met, Christian suspected her of having a relationship with a woman named James who was smuggling organs out of the clinic. Christian found out that James was Michelle's former pimp, and blackmailed her into having sex with him. He eventually began to care about her, however, and paid James off to leave her and McNamara/Troy alone.

Michelle's husband, Burt, found out about the affair from Wolper, and tried to force the two to have sex in front of him. When Burt later tried to have sex with Michelle, he had a stroke and died after she refused him medicine. After Burt's death, Christian and Michelle became engaged, and Michelle agreed to be Wilber's adoptive mother. James did not keep her end of the bargain, however; she used McNamara/Troy as a base of operations. Christian then found out that James worked for drug lord Escobar Gallardo (one of the series' primary villains). James eventually committed suicide. He and Michelle bought Sean's stake in McNamara/Troy after Sean moved to California. Just as it seemed they would live happily ever after, Christian found out that she had been James' accomplice in the organ smuggling ring. Disgusted, he left her and followed Sean to California.

However life isn't easy in LA and they spend their first 2 months without any client. Desperate, they join a show as consults and guest-stars. Due to hair implants gone wrong he was cut out while Sean enjoyed his first day of fame. Out of spite he broke a confidentiality agreement and revealed he had done some surgery on an actress to get recognition himself. This falls flat as he is double crossed by the magazine, which doesn't publish his story and tells his agent. He then does a porn photoshoot, attracting the gays to his office. He also takes part in Marylin Monroe impersonator conflict but they reconcile and end up having a three-way where Christian wants to be like a star. He then has sex with Julia only for her to reveal it was to get him out of her system. Christian becomes a male prostitute due to a woman who mistakes him for an actual prostitute named Campbell. Afterwards, the client tells a friend, her friend's fantasy ends badly, making Christian give up his duty as a prostitute, and Christian decides to give religion a try after meeting a nun. He then has trouble with Eden as she threatens to tell Sean about his night with Julia, he solves that problem by setting her up to look like a drug addict and admitting her into rehab[13]. She comes back while they are filming a reality show and reveals the truth but Sean doesn't believe her and she then tells him she lied. He is also trying to get Julia and Olivia to break up.

Julia and Christian begin to have relationship behind Olivia's back. Sean eventually discovers their relationship and both admit to him that they are in love. However, Christian is tempted to cheat on Julia yet again with Gina, who was hired temporarily as receptionist. Oddly enough, Sean had chosen Gina for this position because Christian was the least likely to cheat with her, but the two find non-coital means to have an affair. When Gina admits the affair to Julia and Christian meets her on the roof of his office building to serve her a restraining order, he is offered a condom by Gina. He begins to have intercourse with her on the ledge of the roof, when Gina is thrust off the building, falling to her immediate death.

Recently Matt slept with a patient of Christian's named Emme after Christian tried to set them up together after Matt's break up with Rachel. After they had sex Emme mentions to Matt that Christian is her father. She had earlier told Christian that she was from Cleveland, Georgia and that she was conceived via a one night stand. Matt and Emme discussed staying a couple despite having the same father. Emme's mother, a woman who lost her legs due to diabetes, came to LA to meet with Christian, whom she says took her virginity during his spring break in Fort Lauderdale, which resulted in the conception of Emme. She informed Christian that Emme was his daughter and that she was sleeping with his son. The two immediately got a paternity test to ensure that Emme was Christian's daughter and the test proved positive, afterwards they informed the two "siblings" that they should stop their sexual relationship to be replaced by a more sibling relationship. Emme and Matt confronted each other before Emme left for Georgia and she tried getting him to come with her, but he eventually broke it off with her.
