The Crescent King (House in the Ocean)

==Summary==
The Crescent King is a dark and mysterious entity of unknown origins that lurks deep beneath the ocean waves, and who takes on the form of a colossal humanoid creature with a crescent moon for a head. He is the true mastermind behind the House in the Ocean, manifesting them along beaches in the US East Coast for several decades, all for the sake enthralling and terrifying the American citizens, thereby converting them into worthy Containers for his consciousness when the right time finally comes. The Crescent King's machinations catch the attention, adoration and horror of famous characters throughout American History, like Walt Disney and former president George W. Bush, further empowering the King and extending his reach over the American people.
