Crofton Dudley is a rascal and a scoundrel living in [[Varlaine]]. When the [[Brotherhood of Coin]] needs subterfuge, Crofton is always ready to lend a hand. For the right price. He wears cheap cologne, a nice coat, and has a mustache. Most people in his life tend to avoid him since he is deemed not cool. Contrary to popular belief, he smells quite nice. This puzzles his close friends [[Magnus Brand]] and [[Marie Beaumont]] whenever they are together. ## Early life ### Crystalum Academy In his teens Crofton went to business school at the [[Crystalum Academy]]. Passing his lessons with ease, he sought challenge by stealing all the precious gems from the headmaster.
