Dr. Crawford Tillinghast is a theoretical physicist with a masters degree and the assistant to famed scientist and researcher Dr. Edward Pretorius, assisting him in his hopes on building the resonator, a machine that will allow those within this reality to see beyond into further realities and dimensions. Doctor Pretorius does not in fact spend most if not any time assisting Crawford with his invention, causing Crawford to handle most of the workload. Pretorius has a very intense sadism fetish and will bring women home to inflict pain on them, causing Crawford to overhear and become traumatized and anxious as he works. Crawford is very studious, soft spoken and intelligent and it appears he’s on the edge of a breakthrough. Should the Resonator reach its full power it will begin to drive him insane, and his pineal gland will begin to grow after a creature the machine reveals bites him. Creatures from these other realities will kill Pretorius, and he will be on the hook for the murder unless given help. He will panic and urge to keep the machine off, and should it continue to be turned on he will only become worse, his pineal gland bursting through his forehead and a thirst to eat brains building. Crawford has an IQ in the 160s and is extremely intelligent.
