Victor Crowley is a legendary "swamp monster" and serial murderer of diminished intellect and possible supernatural origins.

Victor Crowley was born many years ago in the bayous of Louisiana, just outside of the city of New Orleans. He was born horribly disfigured in a large house in the swamps. His mother died when he was young and his father raised him as best as he could.

The Crowleys rarely ventured outside the environs of the bayou and when they did, young Victor was subjected to cruel taunts and harassment from other children because of his deformity.

One Halloween night, many years ago, a group of trick-or-treaters came to the Crowley house to play a prank on him. Shouting taunts and jeers, they began throwing sparklers towards the house. One of the sparklers went inside a window and the dry timbers of the house caught fire. Victor Crowley, now an adult, was trapped inside and began to panic. His father returned home just in time to see their house on fire. Wielding a hatchet, he began hacking away at the front door, desperate to save his son. What Mister Crowley didn't realize was that frightened Victor was pressed against the back of the door when his father began swinging the hatchet. The blade cleaved through the door panel and imbedded itself into Victor's head.

In February of 2006, Victor Crowley emerged from seclusion and murdered an elderly fisherman named Sampson and his son, Ainsley. Their disappearance prompted Sampson's daughter, Marybeth, to embark upon a search for her missing family members.
