Ian Cram/Crumb

Crumb, also known as Ian Cram, was a flaming orc playing geek until he had a run in with Hal Yorke, which resulted in him being hit by a car and recruited by Hal. After waking in the trio's cellar, he is thrown into the supernatural world by Hal who, with no idea what to do with Crumb, results in tying him to the radiator.

Tom and Alex discover Crumb and Alex releases him. Crumb goes back to his workplace, and after being told that he has lost his job, he kills his bosses nephew. After the trio intercept Crumb, Rook appears to clean up the office and take Crumb to the DoDD. Crumb describes himself as 'the victim who gets superpowers', which gives Rook an idea. Crumb is kept in a cell at the DoDD until Rook organises his plan. He calls for Crumb's sister to come and visit him, thinking it would help, but unbeknown to him, Crumb's sister has also brought her daughter. Rook still continues his plan 'for the greater good'. This results in Crumb killing both his sister and niece.

When Crumb is dismissed by Rook, he goes to find Hal, who is reluctant to help him and leaves Crumb to fend for himself.

Alan, an ex-employee of Rook, who was involved taking Crumb's family to the facility, approaches Crumb and asks him to recruit him. At first Crumb thinks that it is a trick, until they have a heartfelt conversation about Flaming Orc and Crumb decides to respect Alan's wishes and recruit him.

Hal and Alex go to Crumb's flat at the request of Rook, to find the whole flat covered in blood, pizza boxes and corpses of Crumb and Alan's victims. Hal offers to help Crumb and Alan with their bloodlust and Crumb accepts.  They are taken to HonoluluHeights to face vampire rehab, which is a mixture between being strapped into a chair at night and busy routines during the day to suppress the urges. During the night, the blood cravings cause Crumb to see Alan as Hazel, a girl that he had killed, who tells him that no girls would ever go with him (I know a couple who would). Alan releases himself from the chair and also releases Crumb against his will. Crumb, thinking that Alan is Hazel, stakes him, killing his only friend.

Crumb is taught different ways of keeping busy to control his bloodlust, for instance running, cleaning and making a domino spiral and taking it back down again and mediation.

Unknown to Alex, Crumb likes Alex and he asks her on a date. The date goes disastrously, he tells Alex a run down of his 11 favourite cheeses, explains Flaming orc, practises his GCSE french skills and faces a werewolf. When Bobby gets loose he's used as bait to get Bobby to a safe place, but Crumb, like the wimp he is, decides to head for the door, thank goodness Alex is quick enough to lock the door to stop him. Although he does have a bit of an accident when the Bobby gets a bit close to him, much to Alex's disgust.

After Crumb has calmed down he finds Hal and Alex sharing a moment together and he gets rather jealous, and he is starting to get thirsty, so Hal takes him back to the house. When they get back, Crumb knocks Hal out and ties him to the chair instead. Hal shows Crumb the reality of what they are as evil Hal emerges. This scares Crumb, and he decides to end it, by either drinking the werewolf blood or the human blood. He wins by drinking the werewolf blood, and is turned to ash.
