Crofton Dudley was a rascal and a scoundrel living in [[Varlaine]]. When the [[Brotherhood of Coin]] needed subterfuge, Crofton was always ready to lend a hand, for the right price. He wore cheap cologne, a nice coat, and had a mustache. Most people in his life tended to avoid him since he was deemed not cool. Contrary to popular belief, he smelled quite nice. This puzzled his close friends [[Magnus Brand]] and [[Marie Beaumont]] whenever they were together. ## Early life ### Crystalum Academy In his teens Crofton went to the [[Crystalum Academy]]. Passing his lessons with ease, he sought challenge by stealing all the precious gems from the headmaster.
