Christoph Nick was a German BattleTech fan, author and freelancer for FanPro. He was apparently also a member of MechForce Germany.
When FASA unexpectedly withdrew from the market and the MechWarrior: Dark Age game started in 2001, Christoph Nick lobbied FanPro—then the German license holder—into acquiring the full license for what was now Classic BattleTech. This led to FanPro creating a second, US-based firm with ex-FASA staff under Line Developer Randall Bills and continuing the line.
On the FanPro Germany side, Christoph Nick continued to work primarily a translator and fan community manager for FanPro. Randall Bills described him as him as "THE guy pushing BattleTech for FanPro Germany."[1]
On a trip to Peru in mid-2005, avid mountaineer Christoph Nick attempted to climb Nevado Salcantay in the Andes alone after his climbing partner Christian Klant became ill, after having climbed two other mountains shortly before as part of a larger group. He failed to return. A search by a rescue team alerted by Klant failed to find any clues and aborted the search on 30 June 2005; Christoph Nick is missing and presumed dead, and survived by a wife and son.
