Who He Is: Originally a biology teacher, Gerald Crane is traumatized by his failure to save his wife from being killed in a fire. Deciding that it was his fear of being killed himself, Crane sets out to discover a way to eliminate fear as a factor from his life. 

What He Did: In order to perfect a recipe for a drug that would force users to face their greatest fears in the hopes that they would then be able to overcome the terror, Crane decides that he needs to harvest human adrenal glands when they are flooded by the physical reactions to frightening circumstances. Crane infiltrates phobia support groups to target victims for adrenal harvest and murder; when he decides that his recipe is perfect, Crane injects himself and son Jonathan with the serum. 

Current Status: Dead. Crane is killed in a gunfight with Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock, although his demise comes too late to save Jonathan from the effects of the drug.

Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
