Name: Brad Crawford Age: 27 Gender: Male Series: Weiß Kreuz
Background: Nothing is known about the American known as Brad Crawford. He appears from episode 2 of the TV animation as the bodyguard to a Japanese politician by the name of Takatori. It is later revealed that Crawford had the power to see into the vision. "Only snippets of it," to quote his words, but it was more than enough for him to anticipate his opponents' next move and react to them accordingly.
Despite being a bodyguard, Crawford seldom puts himself in the position of combat. Farferello is Schwarz's personal hitman, while he does the scheming. If placed in a situation where he has no choice but to fight, Crawford usually uses the gun. In a fist fight, Crawford's style resemble that of a light-weight boxer, which leads to the fandom speculation that he may have been a boxer before he was recruited by Estet as an assassin.
Personality: Being the leader of Schwarz, an assassin group under the command of Estet, Crawford is cold, manipulative and calculative, stopping at nothing to achieve what he wants to. His power also provides him with the necessary edge he has over others in his scheming.
Other than that, however, Crawford was a very difficult person to read. He allowed Takatori to punish Schuldig and Farferello like dogs for their accidental murder of the politician's daughter, before turning the situation around to manipulate Takatori and frame their opposing group Weiß for the deed. It was not known as to whether Crawford had allowed the abuse because he wanted to punish his teammates for going against orders and acting rashly, or if he had only done so to better manipulate Takatori.
Crawford enjoys the finer things in life and appreciates order. While he is not a order freak, he believes that a machine needs to run with oil and hence, would keep things well-oiled if only to make things smoother for himself.
