Information About

Titus Crow




The differentiating feature of the Titus Crow books is that, in a departure from the core of the Cthulhu Mythos stories, Lumley's characters are not helpless victims of unimaginable forces which can drive humans mad by merely manifesting themselves. Instead, Titus Crow, his friend Henri-Laurent de Marigny, and other Lumley characters confront Cthulhu 's minions in a series of increasingly large scale encounters, in which humans, although outmatched, try to fight back.

Crow has been known to survive any number of encounters with Monster s, although he may not always be able to defeat the creatures. For instance, he may fall unconscious upon running into a monster who kills anything that moves.

He is described as a man who spends most of his money on Commodities and keeps the rest of it in the bank. Thus, thieves breaking into his home would not find any cash. He owns different Cthulhu Mythos objects, including a Coffin -shaped Clock , which is in fact a time-space machine.
