Information
|
Name: Douglas Cameron (not commonly known) Deed Name: Crypt Auspice: Ithaeur Tribe: Bone Shadow Lodge: Lodge of Death Pack: The Bone Orchard Paladins Spirit Rank: ••• Concept: Gutter Shaman Residence: Edinburgh, Scotland Background: Background Appearance: An amiably homeless bum, often found begging under the sign of the golden arches, he has been heard to enthuse about "the magic gloves of scrounge", but it's unclear whether this is a mystic fetish or a joke. The same could be said for much of what he does – in spite of his appearance, Crypt is unquestionably a talented and powerful Ithaeur. Although his strange outlook on life and bizarre sense of humour probably hold him back from truly excelling as one of the Uratha. |
Little is known of his history, as he seldom speaks of his past, and the stories he has told so far are often conflicting. However it is clear that he once had a wife and family, before his marriage broke down and he ended up on the streets. Several years pass before there are any other events of which he has spoken, although it is known that his First Change came about following visions that he received whilst sleeping rough in a graveyard.
How he met his pack and became a member of the Bone Orchard Paladins is also uncertain, however he seems to revel in his underground existence, and in the thrill he finds in being one of the guardians of the undercity of Edinburgh.

Quotes
- "Would it be funny?" - (Crypt being asked if he'd make a fetish out of someone's severed arm)
- "Fat, lazy, often foul to the ear and even worse to the nose. Also one of my best friends and one of the few people in this world whom I trust. Just make sure you watch what he puts into anything he cooks for you." - Trog
- "A very competent Ithaeur, I have great respect for his work. He creeps the hell out of me at times and tends to stink like a broken sewage pipe though, and never ever ask about the cat..." - Sheena "Ragna" McLetchie
- "There's a thousand and one uses for a dead cat!" - Crypt
- "I would rather sever my nasal nerve than go near him in wolf form. Unfortunately if I need a competent, uncompromising and tough as nails Ithaeur that is willing to deal, I will generally have to go to him... Now where did I put the frabreeze." - Feisal McLetchie "Silent Howl"
- "Gimme a cow man!" - Maximum Overdrive
- "Surprisingly moral for a smelly thieving git." - Alasdair Lennox
- "Smell isn't everything. I admire Crypts guts, but not his ability to think strategically. I'd be willing to die defending him if he actually does that Elvis impersonation he keeps talking about" - Fergus Keep
- "He smells more than anyone I have ever met before, but he treated me kindly when most would have turned their backs and that makes him alright by me." - Lumia
- "Is he funny and irresponsible? Yes, yes he is. And I can't think of better compliment I could pay him." - Robin Mendez
- "Hey, I know Crypt - He's a weird, odd looking, gothic bum. He smells odd, talks funny and sees things that aren't there. I like him." - Harry the Shoe
- " I am always glad when crypt is there when the Uratha gather.... when the inevitable cock up needs binding or some ritual it is good to have someone I have worked with before near. A good ritualist, but I have not seen much of him when we were not doing rites." - David Harangued-By-Spirits
- "When it comes to the spirits, ain't many who know more than Crypt. One of the few I'd trust to do a Rite on my family. He's got my number, and can ask me for a favor any time." - Death-on-Swift-Wings
- "Crypt is brilliant! He's always really nice to me, and I think some folk might be surprised by the depth of his character." - Mercy
- "It should probably terrify me the extent I trust Crypt, instead I'm just grateful I have such a good and talented friend I can call on." - Harm
- "Dodgy bastard, but then it's useful to know a few of those, especially when you need to get hold of something Ithaeur are best at making and you don't want too many questions asked." - Raven
- "Smells bad, seems a little crazy, though for some reason Trog likes and trusts him. I do wish he would stop visiting and bringing all his friends as though I were some sort of tourist attraction." - Stalks in Shadow
- "You brought a zombie?!? Onto a PUBLIC PARK?!?!? CARRYING A VAMPIRE?!?!?!?" - Jay Pathfinder
- "So, when i found what was apparently a perfectly preserved corpse from a tomb unopened for several decades, and likely several centuries, which appeared to be being spied upon through some supernatural means who else should i have called but Britain's premier necromancer?" - McCoy
- "Annoying man, keeps tromping over my territory. Smells worse than 10 day old carcasses. If he pushes me too far one of these days, he won't be walking out of it." - King
Rumours
- He is really a fabulously wealthy man. But choses to live the life of a vagrant for its rustic charm.
- Crypt has a certificate, that he keeps on him at all times, in order to prove that he's sane.
- Rumoured to be a stinking coward.
- He enjoys his work, perhaps a little too much.
- Crypt goes to sleep with a cuddly voodoo doll.

I'd like to thank Ostrander at conceptart.org from whom I shamelessly nicked the picture of the zombie.
I'd also like to thank The Illustratrated Librarian from whom I pinched the wonderful picture of the poppet. 'Hello Poppet!'
