Crash was an informant to the New Orleans Police Department.

This article concerns his appearance in the original version of the series (see separate articles for the novels and 20th anniversary edition).

Background[]

Crash is a small-time hood who supports himself by selling information concerning small time pimps and drug dealers. He has secret connections to the Voodoo cartel of New Orleans and has been witness to their ceremonies and has a snake tattoo which allows him entry.

On Day 3 he is caught in Jackson Square pushing coke. He is first seen in the police department being interrogated by Franklin Mosely who has a hunch that he knows something about the Voodoo Murders, but it is clear that Crash is very afraid about someone or something. Mosely tried to offer him witness protection, but Crash scoffed at the offer and states that "they" know he is there, and nobody can protect him. Tony then puts him in detention for 24 hours.

Crash dead

On Day 4 he is released and found wandering around Jackson's Square in a bad shape. Whenever he sees Gabriel Knight, he moves away. Gabriel observes Crash through the binoculars at the Jackson Square Overlook talking to a Rada drummer. He is later found hiding in the St. Louis Cathedral and looking very ill. Gabriel attempts to interrogate him, but Crash rebuffs him and refuses to talk unless Gabriel gives him a good enough reason. Gabriel shows him a snake bracelet to prove that he is on the case, and Crash reveals that he has a snake tattoo on his chest and allows Gabe to interrogate him. Crash reveals that there is a Voodoo cartel in New Orleans which controls everything, and uses Rada drums to send codes and about the hounfour.

His didn't manage to finish his speech as his condition killed him right in his seat. Gabriel made a copy of his tattoo and left the body there to be discovered.

Personality and traits[]

Crash is a young man who hasn't had much of a life. He got in with the 'wrong crowd', you might say, and it's the kind of crowd one never gets out of alive. While the work has paid his bills, it's also stolen his soul. He's one step from being a corpse and he knows it; he's just not sure where he took that wrong step and he'd do ANYTHING to take it back.[1]
