Adventures with Newbury and Hobbes
In 1903, Angelchrist summoned Maurice Newbury, Veronica Hobbes and Charles Bainbridge to his country seat in Oxfordshire, which he had obtained earlier in the year from his late uncle, in order to inspect a creature that his men had found while dredging the lake. It was decided that the corpse would be taken to London and inspected by Dr John Farrowdene. Farrowdene confirmed that the creature was a mutated human and indicated that Dr Aubrey Knox was behind the creature's creation, Angelchrist accompanied the trio to inspect Knox's laboratory and attempted to save Vernoica's life from another mutant creature by shooting it with his pistol. They were taken prisoner by more creatures but eventually managed to escape. (PROSE: The Undying)

In 1911, Angelchrist helped Iris and Panda defeat the Piscotorians in hand-to-hand combat. (PROSE: Iris at the V&A)

In 1915, Newbury introduced Angelchrist to Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. (PROSE: The Spirit Box)

In the 1930s, Angelchrist received a letter from Iris concerning her encounter with Marlene Dietrich in 1977 Berlin. The letter was later included in The Collected Letters, 1918 - 1938. (PROSE: Low/Profile)

When the criminal Zenith threatened the prime minister of Great Britain, Angelchrist was asked to track him down. (PROSE: The Albino's Shadow)

Behind the scenes
Although Angelchrist's first appearance in a commercial work was in Paradox Lost (for which he was created), he made an earlier appearance in print in the charity short story The Maharajah's Star, later rerelased in a more official context in The Casebook of Newbury & Hobbes. As we only consider commercial releases valid, this Wiki considers the character to have debuted in Paradox Lost, serendipitously fitting the character's genesis, though not his publication history.

Beyond his crossover appearances in Mann's original series Newbury & Hobbes, Angelchrist also featured under license from his creator in The Albino's Shadow in the 2012 Obverse Quarterly collection Zenith Lives!.
