Lee Christmas

Christmas is the group's knife specialist. In the first film he learns his girlfriend Lacy left him for another man who beats her, and he thrashes the man and his friends, revealing what he does for a living. He goes with Barney to Vilena for the first recon, where they are discovered. At the end, after the battle, he plays knife-throwing with Tool and composes a mocking poem about his friend.

In Albania, Christmas watches Billy die and joins the group vowing to avenge him. During the hunt he crosses Bulgaria, sleeps in an abandoned base and fights the Sangs in the tank ambush. At the airport, in the final battle, Christmas decapitates Hector, Vilain's right hand, while Barney fights the boss. At the end he toasts Billy with the group, standing in the plane.

In the third film, Christmas is in the group that rescues Doctor Death from the prison train and takes part in the ambush on the Somali arms dealer, who turns out to be Stonebanks. When Barney disbands the team, he is sidelined, then reappears among the veterans who arrive in Azmenistan. There Christmas and the others fight alongside the young recruits against Stonebanks's army, and survive the building's explosion.

In Libya, Christmas watches Barney's plane go down and believes he is dead. After jeopardizing the mission trying to save him, he is dropped by the CIA and replaced by Gina, his former lover. He refuses to stay out: he slips a tracker into the knife he gives her and follows the group to Asia. He travels to Thailand, recruits Decha and storms Ocelot's ship. He kills Rahmat and stays behind to turn the ship around and prevent a war.

Lee Christmas is second in the team's hierarchy and Barney Ross's right hand. Jason Statham plays him in all four films and, on Expend4bles, was also a producer.
