A character in the
Harry Potter universe, thought to be fictional until he surfaced on facebook, apparently seeking his master Lord Voldemort. Assumed dead after receiving the Dementor'
s Kiss, Crouch was revealed to be alive and well, locked within the confines of Azkaban but convinced that he had located his erstwhile master at Pembroke
College, Oxford, disguised as a fourth year student (as of 2009-10). Since identifying this student as his master, Crouch has risen to prominence in Pembroke
society, antagonising students and facing an uncertain future after his 'master' refused to acknowledge him; indeed, it's believed Crouch has been reported to facebook authorities several times for numerous offences, including bullying,
racism and sexual harrassment of his master.
Despite being unpopular with VoldeMort, Crouch has become 'friends' with many Pembrokians; he appears disinterested, though, his only correspondence with these pupils limited to
petty insults (in slurs which normally relate to what he perceives as their inferior blood status).
Still convinced, though, that he has finally located his master at Pembroke
College, Crouch shows no signs of wanting to disappear from the public eye.
"Who's this Barty Crouch
guy? I added him
as a friend, but he just keeps insulting me for being a
Muggle."
"Barty Crouch keeps warning me to stay away from him."
"Crouch has apparently been reported to the facebook authorities for constantly requesting a relationship status with his master."
