**Crusoe Allumina N'Ozca, Dorcademic**, better known as **Crone**, is an ally of Isles & Quint. Not much is known about their history, though it is known that they were born on Pragma.

* 🗛
* Other Timelines

In the Alpha-Archaic Timeline, Crone spent most of their life on Pragma. They learned how to use magic under the direct tutelage of Astra, which presumably spent a large chunk of their life. During their studies, they became close friends with Umbra. After Revelian arrived on Pragma, the two became acquainted, wearing their distastes for one another on their sleeves. However, for Umbra's sake, they got along well enough.

Crone was invited to Umbra and Revelian's wedding and arrived on Ludus through a portal opened by the former. When Astra arrives, they assisted in fighting back her army, but ended up captured by her. After attempting to do research to help Revelian and the rest of Isles-DeCurro, they came across a history on Shenanigans (who had been employed by Astra), and was severely wounded by him. After recovering, they assisted companions Rebecca, Maxine, and Mori in an assault against Astra. This was ultimately unsuccessful, with the group retreating to the infirmary of Astra's castle, where they were located by Jack. They again attempted to assist in the final struggle against Astra in Universe City, facilitating the transfer of the Elements of Acceptance to Umbra. Following the events of the struggle, Crone opted to stay on Ludus.
Crone, early on in their life, joined The Dorcademy, becoming close friends with Umbra while engaged in their studies.

### Appearance and Personality

Crone is a green, plant-based Pragman of unknown species, though they maintain an upright and roughly gridoid appearance. On their head rests a tree-like "stem" with hair growing from large puffs of its main "trunk." A circle of tooth-like "branches" poke from the sides of this.

Crone's personality is primarily based around their can-do, know-it-all attitude. They are the first to jump to a position of leadership if nobody else does first, though their work tends to be more on the side of task delegation and planning than that of leaping into the fray or leading through example. They are a scholar at heart, insisting upon researching unfamiliar things as a first reaction. When stressed, they become very pushy with their personal agendas, which may or may not line up with that of the group. They are also very coy about their esoteric knowledge, directly or indirectly insulting those who attempt to know about their secrets without permission.

### Relationships

* During Crone's adolescence and early adult years, they were a great friend of Umbra's.
* Crone's history with Revelian, though unexplained, was known to be a rocky one. Despite this, they still trust each other well enough to work together when the situation calls for it, and Crone seems to be able to insult Revelian without risking their own safety.
* Crone is a friend of Mori, knowing her through academic connections.🗛

## Skills and Abilities

* Crone is incredibly adept with magic, claiming aptitude specifically with older practices, though is more than capable with more modern or otherwise unusual methods.
* Their wellspring of knowledge is perhaps their greatest asset, knowing plenty of odds and ends. Whenever they do not know the answer to something, they are more than willing to conduct research to find it out, and they often know the right place to start doing so.
* Crone's familiarity and charisma are often a boon when delegating tasks during an emergency.
* Being an academic, Crone knows much about managing academic operations.
