Full Name: Bartemius Crouch Jr.
Age: 18
Affiliation: Death Eaters (Dark Mark)
Occupation: Unemployed
Former House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Pureblood
Throughout the entirety of his life, Bartemius has sought nothing beyond success, often pushing himself to the point of fatigue and exhaustion in the quest to become the best he can be. However, pushing yourself to such a limit does have its consequence, especially when you’ve drained your adolescence in seeking your father’s attention. He’s perpetually fallen short of a predetermined standard ( thus lacking the fundamental fatherly bond ) and it’s absolutely no wonder he seems a bit -- mad.
Born into an incredibly influential, pureblood family, and with a father so hellbent on becoming the Minister of Magic, the Ministry is in Barty’s blood – and his early interest in becoming a Dark Wizard is undoubtedly influenced by his father’s vast intent on catching them. In a way, becoming such a savage brand of purist was his means of catching the eye of his father ( despite the extremity of the concept ), and by bequeathing trust and loyalty into the Dark Lord in the most severe of ways, triumph was guaranteed. He would not disappoint – not when his father’s eyes were quick to catch the corrupt.
How foolish of the Senior to neglect what was in front of him.
It was something they would all regret, and, as he matured, graduating Hogwarts and immediately receiving his Dark Mark upon departure, Barty keeps in no immediate contact with his father, yet sustains daily communication with his mother. His father’s mutual disinterest in the both of them serves as an unspoken bond.
However, the life of the Death Eater is not what Barty had initially imagined for himself – and though he’s traded an oppressive authority for one that tolls the bell of purist freedom, it seems as though the boy is never satisfied. He is searching for himself in the midst of this war, cutting his fingers on the fragments of a shattered mirror and glancing at himself in the reflection. The pieces? They don’t quite fit, but the presence of the Dark Lord inspires a sort of faith that, one day, they will.
✔ resourceful, hard-working, extroverted

A recollection of comments mysteriously heard by the one and only Rita Skeeter. Said to be true, but not necessarily.
▸ Let’s give the guy some credit. How normal can he be when he’s got a father like that?
▸ People say the last person he dated was never seen again. He was questioned of course but the Aurors said he knew nothing about it.
▸ Barty is really charismatic. He could make anyone believe the sky is green if he really put his mind into it.
