BOGGART Voldemort, despite serving him. Bellatrix is a close second.
MIRROR OF ERISED Being in a position of power, whether it is with the Death Eaters or not.
PATRONUS N/A as a Death Eater.
PERSONALITY A man lacking in tact and who has trouble in watching his manners. Thankfully for him, manners come as second nature when the Dark Lord is around primarily out of fear rather than respect. He isn't the smartest of people at all, but when something will serve him, he can be crafty. He has a dark sense of humor usually directed at the undesirable sort unless he has a friend that doesn't mind an exchange in insults. He isn't that much of a family man though he cares about his son in his own way. In his youth he was probably the sort of ordinary teen boy whose greatest ambition was finding his way to the girls' dorm without being injured or caught.
Given to clumsiness when he is under a strain, most especially with the Dark Lord around. He is something of a coward who would throw another death eater under the bus if it made him look better or made his own actions seem less severe in comparison. Like many death eaters he is comfortable with torturing others or killing them because in his mind they shouldn't have gone and existed in the first place. He has no great respect for the other Death Eaters aside from Lucius but does fear some of them. Notably Bellatrix.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

[/center]BIRTHPLACE Somewhere in England.
CHILDREN Vincent Crabbe :: 16/17 :: 6th Year Slytherin
PARENTS Velius Crabbe::Father::Former Death Eater::Deceased
Frances Crabbe::Mother::Homemaker::Deceased
SIBLINGS N/A
OTHER Eleanor, his wife of almost twenty-five years. She stays at home and mostly visits with friends. Since she was shamed from Ardin's arrest she has no intentions of returning to him.
HISTORY From a pureblooded family, it comes as no surprise that he was sorted into Slytherin house while attending Hogwarts. He had been raised with the same ideals that most of the Slytherins were, but something new was a sense of unity among people near his own age. He enjoyed also the house system that told him exactly who he should victimize and who he should look up to. He did get into a few awkward situations through a perverted nature and dark sense of humor, but the bonds that he made early on protected him.
He married almost directly after school due to an arranged marriage his family had planned out for him. He joined the Death Eaters later which surprised no one at all. It didn't hurt that Crabbe looked up to people like Lucius Malfoy, who were more capable of finding their place in the world. Becoming a follower was, in his eyes, the quickest way to rise to the top. The idea that maybe it would only cement his dependency didn't occur to him. And also, he didn't care as much about his wife's safety because she had put an end to his free days and he hadn't gotten the time to really get to know her anyway.
Crabbe likely never stood out in the early years of the Death Eaters, but was still loyal. When Voldemort fell he was forced to find his own way in life... supposedly. After getting his name cleared he got a low-level job at the Ministry through his contacts. Luckily for him, a small fortune had been left from his father anyway. And once the distraction of pureblood mania was out of the way, he also spent more time with his baby son Vincent and came to finally accept the family life.
After living a relatively quiet and boring life hardly resembling his former one, Crabbe came to the graveyard when summoned. The experience and the realization of how lucky he was to get out of the graveyard alive after not seeking out Voldemort caused him to rethink his current situation, and he reverted to his old ways. He also participated in the battle at the Department of Mysteries, and was arrested directly after. His time in Azkaban has been gnawing at his mind, and all he wants is to escape and begin recruiting more people to the Death Eaters' cause.

RP EXPERIENCE? SO LONG.
RP SAMPLE.
Ardin was sitting in the Leaky Cauldron, going through firewhiskey like it was water. How did this happen? Not only had he gotten into a fight with the old flour sack of a wife, but she had the nerve to throw him out. And why? Because he had been working late at the Ministry? Those connections could be important to Lord Voldemort when he was ready to extend his reach. There were other Death Eaters that were associated with the Ministry but that was no reason for Ardin to give up his part. After all, he had so much more to prove than most of them.
The thing that really ticked him off was that it was her that spent most of the summer out of the house in order to avoid him. Mostly because she didn't want to fight when Vincent was around. That was a good idea. But now that Vincent was back at Hgowarts there wasn't anything to protect him from his wife's wrath. The useless broad spent most of her day with random pureblood friends and contributed little to nothing to their home. It was because of this that Ardin told himself he was going to meet every one of Vincent's girlfriends as he had them. Err, whenever he began to date. He didn't have that many qualities that young women looked for, but he had two that the older ones certainly did. Money and status.
Taking a big swig from his bottle, Ardin hardly noticed anyone else around him. At this point he was much too lost to his own thoughts. It was so true that once in a while he wished that he was capable of murdering his wife. It was good and bad at the same time that they each had Vincent as an anchor to the marriage, because he knew that his wife was capable of more than her demeanor let on. “Get me another. Don't look at me that way; I'm a paying customer!” He slammed his mug down, feeling the vibration in his hand go on much longer than he assumed it should. He knew what that meant. He'd probably drank too much again.
