**Detective Cromwell** is a detective working for the Beantown Police Department who appears as the "anti-hero" deuteragonist of Killer Bean Forever. He crosses paths with Killer Bean after investigating his hit on one of Cappuccino's warehouses.

## Profile

### Appearance

Detective Cromwell is a fair skinned bean with a piercing brown-eyed gaze. He wears a fedora, a suit and tie and a golden badge fitted to his uniform that shines like polished gold. The Detective also has a holster on his left side that holds his silver revolver.

### Personality

Detective Cromwell is often portrayed as cool, calm, and collected. In most cases, he chooses to solve conflicts peacefully, such as when he meets Killer Bean in a bar and is able to avert any sort of conflict between Killer Bean, the bar owner, and himself. Cromwell is also dead-set on sending Cappuccino to prison, trying to find dirt on him in any way he can, which is why he tries to meet with Killer Bean in the first place to get assistance. He is also pretty smart as he managed to not get killed just by words.

### Skills

Detective Cromwell is shown to be effective with his revolver, as he is able to shoot out the tires on Vagan's car with ease. His effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat is unknown, though he is easily outmatched by Killer Bean. Along with being a good shot, Cromwell is a skilled investigator with lots of experience, as shown by the fact that Cromwell has been tackling the Cappuccino case for 3 years, continuing to find evidence that could put Cappuccino away. This skill is also shown by the fact that he was able to deduce Killer Bean killed the beans in Cappuccino's Baker Street Warehouse a few days after Killer Bean did so.

## History

### Killer Bean Forever

After hearing multiple gunshots from a warehouse, Detective Cromwell and a police officer were sent to investigate it. They open the warehouse's doors and discover the dead bodies of Cappuccino's beans. As they search for evidence, the police officer finds bullet casings on the floor, which Detective Cromwell examines one to find out that they belong to Killer Bean. While he examines the bullet casing, Vagan's car parks near the warehouse. Detective Cromwell stops Vagan from escaping and informs him about Killer Bean and his involvement in shooting up the warehouse.

In the morning, he tells a News Reporter about a theory that Killer Bean is a vigilante, but claims that there is no evidence for said theory. After talking with Harry about the evidence, he goes to one of Cappuccino's suspected warehouses and tries to investigate the scene but is surprised by Killer Bean sitting in a bar behind him. At the bar, he introduces himself to Killer Bean and asks him what he knows about what happened in the warehouse, which Killer Bean refuses to answer. When Killer Bean asked him what he knew about the incident, he told him the evidence about Killer Bean killing everyone in the warehouse. He offers Killer Bean a mission to kill Cappuccino, but Killer Bean denies. Detective Cromwell explains to Killer Bean that he can control the media and the evidence. When Detective Cromwell warns Killer Bean that he can take him down, they end up in a standoff. After the bartender tells them to leave the bar, he exits slowly and reminds Killer Bean about helping each other. Outside the bar, he finds a note on the sidewalk about a "Shadow Bean". As Killer Bean exits the bar, he points his revolver at him, interrogating him about the existence of Shadow Beans, but Killer Bean refuses to answer and throws him into the ground instead. Detective Cromwell tells him that he would "settle this later".

In his car, Detective Cromwell calls Harry for more information about the Shadow Beans, where Harry reveals that the Shadow Beans work for the Shadow Agency, an agency that once worked for the government.

During the night, he observes Killer Bean killing Cappuccino's beans and mercenaries at a warehouse until he was knocked out by an explosion and later interrogated by Cappuccino. After Killer Bean breaks free, Detective Cromwell calls for backup. He wanted Killer Bean to kill Cappuccino but was shocked when Vagan shot Cappuccino for firing him.
While Killer Bean and Vagan are talking about the Shadow Agency, Detective Cromwell goes near the warehouse and eavesdrops on them. He finds out that the agency was coming after Killer Bean and Vagan.

When Killer Bean shoots Vagan, Detective Cromwell calls for more backup so he can have a talk with Killer Bean. After the entire police squad arrives, he offers Killer Bean some help, but Killer Bean still denies it. As Detective Cromwell reaches for his revolver, Killer Bean, who wants protection, surrenders. He tells Killer Bean that he will come back the next morning and leaves the police station.
