Crispin: The Cross of Lead (Character)

Crispin is an interesting character. He is a thirteen-year-old boy who ends up joining a gigantic man called Bear. He thinks he has made countless sins. He is unaware, at first, at the world outside the small village he lives in. He is very curious, which is how he got into a giant mess, in which he is considered a wolf's head (anyone can kill him when they see him) for a crime he didn't commit. In this mess, he meets Bear, a man who makes Crispin swear to be his servant. Crispin is very timid, so he readily accepts. He is also slow to trust someone, as he thinks about running away from the "madman", Bear. Crispin is also very weak, therefore he does whatever Bear tells him to do. He got in to this mess because his mother died. Crispin later turns out to be noble blood because his mother and his lord had secretly begotten him. Crispin is also extremely religious. He is a Christian and continuously prays to his saint, Saint Giles.
