The Crooked Man

An ancient spirit that exists as a lingering remnant of the Kehlenn, The Crooked Queen's twisted power of rebirth. He's taken on a myriad of forms over the millennia, always corrupting and killing a mortal host before being reborn with a new visage every century or so. He favors brutal human shapes for as long as the species has dwelled in Wickermoor Hollow.

His current form is the twisted shade of a man named Eustace Lockwood. A man who slaughtered his entire household in one bloody night after a slow descent into paranoia and malevolence through malign witchcraft that plagued his dreams.

His primary residence is a manor home built atop a remnant of Kehlenn's power, aptly dubbed The Crooked House. He serves as the mouthpiece and instrument of the Crooked Queen while she remains trapped in Wytchwood. He has orchestrated many horrors that fall on the residents of Wickermoor Hollow and serves as a guiding force for the malevolent Cult of the Crooked Queen that has infiltrated the Followers of the Old Ways within the valley.
