Krešimir

Krešimir is a Petronas City resident, a Gypsy who often "sells bricks" to people of the city. Living at the end of the city in the Gypsy neighbourhood, he is active only in the Slavujček-controlled territory.
Krešimir's "brick selling" activities resulted in James Robinson's misfortunes and his famous jump from the top of the Campanile. Krešimir was also responsible for recruiting Santa Claus Bifsi II and Vlado Krklec into the Coherents. Eventually, the Coherents defeated the evil businessman Patrik Von Dolph, while Krešimir continued to gain money from the unfortunate Petronas residents to whom he would try and sell his bricks.
==Biography==
===Eary life and arrival in Petronas===
Nothing is known of Krešimir's early life. At one point in 2011, he moved to Petronas City, where he, along with the rest of his Gypsy community, settled on the edge of the city, in a newly-built Gypsy neighbourhood. He was a part of the Gypsy gang Lojzijus, which was led by Andrija. He and other Gypsies spread their activities throughout the Slavujček-controlled territory of the city.
Krešimir would often roam the streets and look for potential victims. When he would find a victim, he'd jump in front of them, carrying a brick and asking the unfortunate person to buy the brick. If the prison bought the brick, Krešimir, and other Gypsies, would earn money. But if the person refused, Krešimir would summon his Gypsy friends who would be waiting behind the corner, and they would beat up the person and possibly steal their money. Thus, the Gypsies, Krešimir included, gained notoriety throughout the city.
===The Jump===
Krešimir intercepted a random passer-by, James Robinson, and asked him to buy a brick. Robinson, unfamiliar with this procedure, refused to buy the brick, not believing Krešimir's words that "[Krešimir's] friend would kill him [Robinson]". Due to his refusal, James Robinson ended up beaten, which led to his stay in Petronas General Hospital.The Jump
===Finding out about Patrik Von Dolph's plans===
At one point, the Gypsies of Petronas, Krešimir included, found out that the businessman called Patrik Von Dolph was planning to destroy the city. Von Dolph, who had opened a new company in Petronas—the Von Dolph Company—wanted to acquire an ancient tablet, called Akhmunkaron's Tablet, using which he would summon an ancient monster called the Great Goronoth. Using the Great Goronoth, he would obliterate Petronas. However, Krešimir and other Gypsies were keen on stopping Von Dolph. Thus, based on Andrija's idea, they decided to form a team of unique individuals who would stop Von Dolph in time.The Coherents – Part 1
===Santa's Story===
Gypsies decided that Santa Claus Bifsi II, a former Santa Claus from the North Pole, was a perfect candidate for their team that was supposed to stop Von Dolph. Krešimir was sent to offer Bifsi a job. One evening, he talked to the old man when Bifsi was going home. When Bifsi asked if there was alcohol involved in this job, and Krešimir confirmed, he was immediately hooked. Krešimir told Bifsi that he would start working the next day, and that their mission was to find and locate James Robinson, another candidate for their team.Santa's Story
=== Paranormal ===
When Vlado Krklec's ghost video, filmed in The Haunted House, gained popularity on the internet and made Krklec famous in Petronas, Krešimir was sent to recruit Krklec for Andrija's Gypsy team. One night, on the streets of Petronas, Krešimir stopped Krklec, told him he [Krklec] was very brave, and offered him a job, saying that a team was being formed.Paranormal Krklec accepted the offer.
=== Kill the Mayor ===
With his new friend and apprentice, Santa Claus Bifsi II, Krešimir was selling bricks to random passers-by. He wanted Bifsi to learn the procedure, so Bifsi jumped in front of a random passer-by, Šime Zrilić, but used Krešimir's "You buy a brick!" phrase incorrectly. Zrilić was confused by Bifsi and Krešimir's conversation, but stayed on the spot while Bifsi and Krešimir swapped places. Krešimir jumped in front of Zrilić and showed Bifsi the proper way to offer a brick. In the middle of the proposed transaction between Krešimir and Zrilić, another Gypsy informed Krešimir that James Robinson had been located. Krešimir realized there was no time to waste, apologized to Zrilić and left to deal with Robinson.Kill the Mayor
=== The Coherents ===
Krešimir and Santa Claus Bifsi II soon returned to the Gypsy neighbourhood. Two female Gypsies were sent to a nearby village to recruit James Robinson. Two other candidates for the Gypsy team, Vlado Krklec and Dan Timbly, were summoned to the Gypsy neighbourhood to wait for Robinson's arrival.
When Robinson arrived, he recognized Krešimir as the "Gypsy who ruined [his] life," while Krešimir claimed he remembered Robinson. Krešimir and other members of the team explained to Robinson the intricacies of Patrik Von Dolph's plan to obliterate Petronas. Krešimir now had Andrija's team assembled, and the team started planning how to stop the evil businessman.
The next day, the team, called the Coherents, started to act. However, things didn't go as planned; amidst other problems, James Robinson, who was still a wanted fugitive in Petronas, was seen by Franjo Filipović, which meant Robinson could now be jailed. In the evening, however, Timbly had another idea, so Krešimir, excited, interrupted the conversation between Robinson and Krklec in one of the Gypsy houses and told them about Timbly's idea to find the secret object behind the Rose Path puzzle.
The plan to find the object gave no results. Later in the Gypsy neighbourhood, Andrija appeared alongside Krešimir, to meet with his team. Krešimir told the Coherents to show respect to Andrija, as he was the leader of Gypsies. When Andrija left, Krešimir inquired if the Coherents had another plan; he was pleased to hear that they did.
The next day, however, Krklec ended up in jail, alongside Timbly's mother Lara. At the Gypsy neighbourhood, Krešimir joked that Krklec was perhaps at Izabela's place. The rest of the Coherents later freed Krklec and Lara Timbly. Krešimir then went on with his usual routine, making people buy his bricks. However, when he jumped in front of a random passer-by, he realized he jumped in front of no other than Von Dolph himself. Scared and nervous, believing Von Dolph to be "too rich and powerful," he quickly left. Soon, Von Dolph started his process of summoning the Great Goronoth on St. Jantol's Island.The Coherents – Part 2
When Krešimir realized Von Dolph was on the verge of summoning his monster, he rushed to the Gypsy neighbourhood and informed the Coherents of the new events. He wanted the team to rush to the island and stop Von Dolph. Luckily, the Coherents did defeat Von Dolph, who ended up in the "worst" cell of Azkaban Prison.The Coherents – Part 3
=== Money, Money, Money ===
Krešimir jumped in front of Statko Stanić in Baker Street, asking him to buy a brick. Stanić, having heard about the Gypsies's trick, decided to buy the brick for 50 kunas, which is all he had.Money, Money, Money
=== Is There a Nice Place to Rest? ===
In the business area of the city, Krešimir jumped in front of a random passer-by, who was in fact mayor Helliar (at the time considered dead), under disguise. When the mayor, pretending to be a random citizen, refused to buy Krešimir's brick, Krešimir summoned other Gypsies who had been waiting behind the corner. Even though Helliar wanted to, and theoretically could beat the Gypsies, he decided not to, as he was pretending to be a regular citizen; so he bought a brick.
However, Helliar soon threw away the brick, which made it possible for Krešimir to jump in front of him only few minutes later, at the end of the same street. The angered mayor decided to once again buy a brick.Is There a Nice Place to Rest?
=== Santa's Night ===
One evening, Krešimir hung out with Santa Claus Bifsi II. The two went to Icerman's Strip Club together, but Bifsi told Krešimir to wait outside. While Krešimir was waiting, Bifsi got high. The two then went to visit the Gypsy prostitute Izabela, and afterwards visited the Petronas Cemetery, where Bifsi urinated on Ivo Grigić's grave; Krešimir took various photos of him. Then, Krešimir was present when Bifsi saved Mala Sirena's life from a random skinhead attacker. Both Krešimir and Bifsi continued to have fun and take pictures of themselves. Eventually, Bifsi defecated on Lorgo's hangar; the act which was seen by the mafia boss himself.
Krešimir and Bifsi ran away from Lorgo, deciding to hide inside the Pavlek Miškina Elementary School and look for Franjo Filipović there. Because it was the middle of the night, Filipović was not present. The two instead were greeted by Mile Tabanić, a ghost that resided inside the school. Scared, they ran away.
They afterwards managed to interact with Filipović, who told them to visit mayor Helliar at the Upper Town. Krešimir was taking photos of Bifsi arguing with the mayor, and even took photos of Helliar trying to attack Bifsi with a sword. Krešimir then went home after an eventful night, while Bifsi visited the city cathedral.
The next day, Krešimir was visited by Bifsi in his Gypsy neighbourhood house. Krešimir was excited to finally see Bifsi, telling him he had the pictures. He explained the previous night to Bifsi, who had no recollection of what had happened.Santa's Night
=== Fall of Coherents ===
When evil Tymerio threatened to destroy Petronas, the Coherents were assembled by the DEP Agency. However, due to their differences, they split. Angered and disappointed Santa Claus Bifsi II, who wanted to fight Tymerio with the rest of his teammates while they refused, visited Krešimir in the Gypsy neighbourhood and called his teammates "idiots." Krešimir tried to ease Bifsi by telling him he was a Gypsy, and by taking him along on his routine brick-selling activites.Fall of Coherents
=== Guardian of the Light ===
Krešimir jumped in front of Buckethead, asking him to buy a brick. However, his activity didn't go as usual, because the transaction was observed by Aston Eugled, who had recently become a supernatural Guardian of the Light. Eugled jumped from the top of a nearby building and stood up to the worried Krešimir. He then beat the Gypsy up.Guardian of the Light
=== Skinhead for Life ===
Krešimir jumped in front of Fran Široki on Ambassador Wololo's Square. He offered Široki a brick, but the young man just laughed. Krešimir then summoned his friends—a random female Gypsy, and Gypsy Jasar—who were supposed to beat up Široki. Lucky for Široki, the young man changed his mind and decided to buy the brick, thus avoiding phsyical fight with the Gypsies.Skinhead for Life
=== Story of Claus ===
Krešimir was awaken in the Gypsy neighbourhood by Santa Claus Bifsi II and his friend (also his late wife Ronna Claus's second husband) Neil. He was seemingly displeased with the late night visit, as he was tired. He even talked nonsense, saying his grandmother loved cakes.
He was asked by Bifsi whether he knew where an ancient object from the North Pole, the legendary Claus Wand, was located in Petronas. Krešimir, who had heard about the Wand, knew only that the Wand was seen near Petronas. To get rid of Bifsi and Neil, he suggested that they visit his friend Jasar in the other part of the city, as Jasar knew a lot of information. Before his visitors left, Krešimir sang them a popular Gypsy song.Story of Claus
=== This Is Life ===
