History[]
Some time during his life, Crash became Calvin Candie's fighting trainer for Candyland's slaves, preparing them to engage in Mandingo fights for Candie's enjoyment. He's shown to be slightly illiterate, as he mispronounced Django's name before his death.
After Dr. King Schultz and Django have successfully tricked Candie, implying that they planned to buy a fighting slave for a enormous sun of money, Calvin invites them to Candieland to continue their deal there. On the way, one of Crash's men makes a racist remark which leads Django to drag him off his horse, with the horse falling onto him. Crash and Butch Pooch are about to draw their guns, but Candie de-escalates the situation. After the group continues their travel, Crash threatens Django but then rides off.
After the situation at Candieland has escalated and Schulz and Candie have both been shot, Django embarks on a rampage throughout the plantation house, but he is stopped when Crash arrives and takes Broomhilda hostage. Stephen manages to convince Django to give up, and Django is captured, tied up and left in the stables, hanging from the ceiling upside down.
The next morning, he is awoken by Crash, who had discovered Django and Schultz were bounty hunters. Crash remarks how he had "never seen a black bounty hunter before". Ready to inflict his punishment for the death of Candie, Crash brings out a heated knife and is about to castrate Django, but is stopped at the last minute by Stephen, who instead (probably advised by Stephen, no less) sells Django to the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company as a slave, on the orders by Candie's sister, Lara.
Crash is one of the guests at Candie's funeral. When the guests all return to Candieland, they are greeted by Django in the mansion's balcony who escaped while on the way to LeQuint Dickey, much to their shock and surprise. Soon after, Django quickly shoots the remaining Candie henchmen, including Crash in the chest before the latter had their chances to arm and kill Django and, while Crash is lying on the ground incapacitated, Django taunts him before he rhetorically and sarcastically wonders what Crash was about to do when they last met. He then shoots Crash's testicles off between the legs as a revenge for attempting to castrate him with the heated knife, much to the shock; horror and disgust of the present people in the mansion, including Stephen. Wailing in his immense pain and agony, Crash insultingly calls "Django" a black son of a b*tch; to which Django responds that the 'D' is silent, following the latter's insult with one of his own, calling him a "hillBilly" and then proceeds to finish off Crash by shooting him in the shoulder and head, effectively killing him. Soon after, Crash's lifeless corpse along with the others (including Lara's, and a wounded and incapacitated Stephen) would soon be incinerated in a massive fireball explosion triggered by Django (of which the latter rigged the mansion with a bundle of explosive dynamites and a fuse being lit by Django), killing Stephen and destroying the mansion in the process.
