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."
