biography

Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Jr. (born 1962) was a wizard and the son of Bartemius Crouch Sr. He became an ardent follower of Lord Voldemort and became a Death Eater and a Dark Wizard in his teens. He was the first escapee from Azkaban prison in its nearly 300-year history, although only his father, his late mother, and the family house-elf were aware of it until 1994, when it was revealed to Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Minerva McGonagall, and Severus Snape while Crouch was under the influence of Veritaserum. In 1981, shortly after Voldemort's first defeat, Crouch allegedly participated in the capture and torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom alongside the Lestranges, using the Cruciatus Curse to drive the two Aurors insane. Crouch and his comrades were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for their crimes by his own father. Crouch and his parents hatched a plot under which Crouch's mother would take his place in Azkaban, using Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself. She died and was buried in Azkaban, with the result that the wizarding world believed Crouch himself to be dead. Crouch spent the next few years living under his father's Imperius Curse. He eventually broke free with the help of Voldemort, who had learned that Crouch was still alive, causing him to re-enter the Dark Lord's service. He then disguised himself as Alastor Moody, a former Auror and the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts during the 1994–1995 school year.

Appearance

In his youth, Barty was described as a pale young man with straw-coloured, freckled hair. In his early thirties, he still had pale, lightly freckled skin and a shock of blond hair, but his face was lined and he looked much older. During his confession under Veritaserum, Barty's face would light up with a devilish mania. Prior to his capture and arrest, he often sported a pocket watch, though unlike his father's, his own was gold in colour. Being a Death Eater, he bears the Dark Mark on the inside of his left forearm. For eight months, Barty disguised himself as Alastor Moody through the use of Polyjuice Potion. During this time, his face would be covered in scars, with parts of his nose missing, and his hair dark and grey. He also took Alastor's prosthetic limbs, both the magical eye and the wooden leg, for himself.

Personality

Barty was shown to have been intensely hateful, diabolical, scheming, evil, vindictive, cold, cruel, manipulative, callous, loyal, extremely intelligent, sadistic, gloomy, very arrogant, cunning, selfish, and ruthless. He was obviously a fairly powerful wizard, having demonstrated enough magical skill to enchant the Goblet of Fire into believing that four schools entered the Triwizard Tournament in order to get Harry to enter the contest despite the object's power. Barty was also perceptively observant and exceptionally manipulative; his keen attention to the habits and motivations of others allowed him to impersonate Alastor Moody so accurately that he even managed to fool Albus Dumbledore. Barty's high intelligence also made him bitingly cynical, and he commented on how easily some people were manipulated: he was capable of becoming concerned about his plans, and expressed fear that Harry had failed the Second Task. He also expressed frustration at how slowly Harry was progressing on Barty's plans, citing Harry's weak pride as the reason.
