Crow Dazzle[]
"If you have the urge to merge with wheels four - the ritual is here, so slip a gear and put the pedal through the floor!"- Crow Dazzle
Crow Dazzle is the proprietor for the Death Races in The Wasteland. He stays under Gastown and the Citadel's radar and uses stolen oil for his races.
Biography[]
"Crow Dazzle is the go-to guy for racing outside of Gastown. Not much is known about this rhyme-slingin' racetrack-gambling thrill purveyor except that he seems to have an almost uncanny knack for staying off Gastown and the Citadel's radar and surviving without having to kick up any income to people like Scrotus.
As driving vehicles is the primary way of survival in the Wasteland, over the years, elaborate folklore has come to surround this skill and vehicles in general. The most bizarre yet creative aspect might be the "death races". Nobody knows how they started but they are unanimously accepted as canon in this world. Simply put: death races test a driver's skill on a physical and a perceived metaphysical level. The master of death races is Crow Dazzle and it is to him you go to "bind the vehicle to your soul"." -in Game Bio
Crow Dazzle is flashy in both appearance (wearing a feather collar and adorning himself in metal "jewelry"), as well as in mannerism and speech. Speaking in rhyme and occasionally in third person as well. Crow seems to have some sort of spiritual affinity to cars, mentioning racers using his challenges to "bind to the heart of their machines".
