Dr. Christian Troy is a fictional character played by Julian McMahon on the FX Networks series Nip/Tuck. The show revolves around McNamara/Troy, the plastic surgery practice he runs with his business partner and best friend, Sean McNamara.
Christian Troy is initially characterized as a self-absorbed womanizer with no qualms about using people to get what he wants. He drives flashy cars, wears Gucci suits, and frequents Miami's best nightclubs.
However, the character is eventually shown to have a vulnerable side beneath his callous exterior. 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 looks just like his father, her rapist, and because she doesn't want her "real family" to know about that part of her life.
He has had affairs with most of the series' female characters, including Sean's wife, Julia; initially unbeknownst to Sean, his son Matt is, in fact, Christian's biological child, with whom he is very close and protective of. The show's first two seasons include many episodes centered on Christian's dysfunctional relationship with Kimber Henry, a former patient whom he often manipulated and cheated on.
In the first season, he has a one-night stand with Gina Russo, a recovering sex addict. Gina, angered to have broken her vow of celibacy, resolves to make Christian's life miserable, and the two initiate a bitter, love/hate sexual relationship that is not resolved until the fourth season. After the one-night stand, Gina becomes pregnant and throughout the pregnancy, Christian believed he is the father. When the baby is born, however, Christian realizes he is obviously not the father since the child is half black. However, Christian takes care of and becomes the surrogate father to her son, Wilber. After trying to hire a nanny to watch his son, he begins sleeping with her. While having sex with her one night, he finds out that she had been giving Wilber cough medicine to keep the baby quiet. He immediately fires her and spends the night of his 40th birthday with his son, his birthday wish being a prayer to God to make him a good father. He later loses custody of Wilber to the boy's biological father.
