Personality=Craig is thought to have an ESFP personality type. He is known for his fearlessness and need for adrenaline, which cause him to act on impulse without thinking things through. Out of all the Codys, he is much more interested in the excitement of his family's crimes, rather than control and manipulation. He tends to use charm and humor to defuse tension and the seriousness of situations. Drugs are one of his go-to coping mechanisms as well, though he is also willing to use them just for the fun of it.

He has a hatred towards the city's e-scooters, but does not make it clear why.

Backstory=Craig Cody, also known as Craig, is the second eldest of Smurf’s sons who is known as an adrenaline junkie who is addicted to speed and stupidity. Craig Cody was born around late 1984, in Oceanside, California, to mother Janine “Smurf” Cody and father Jake Dunmore. He is the third child of his mother, Smurf, the younger half-brother of twins Julia and Andrew and the older half-brother of Deran. He also has an older adoptive brother named Barry Blackwell. Craig was eight-years-old the first time he participated in a heist. It was at Dorset Bank and his job was to distract the guard with his RoboCop action figure then throw sand in his face. Smurf was able to steal his gun so Craig could use it to point at him. Afterwards, they went to a toy store to celebrate. Craig spent most of his time roughhousing with Deran. It appears that Smurf barely gives him any attention and he tends to be left in the care of his sister, Julia. When Craig was a teenager, he was driving intoxicated and ended up causing a car crash that paralyzed his friend, Arnie. Craig ran away from the scene in attempt to avoid consequences, so he had no idea how the accident impacted his friend. Without Craig's knowledge, Smurf has been paying for Arnie's medical expenses for years and will continue doing so until he can walk again. She also agreed to donate $5K annually to a surf competition called SoCal Grom that is ran by Arnie's brother. While robbing a watch store, Craig gets shot in the upper chest, but the bullet did not hit any major organs. He tries to treat the wound on his own but later goes to a doctor in Mexico due to an infection. Craig is in an intimate relationship with a drug dealer named Renn Randall. At one point, he thinks she died from an overdose, so he takes her money, necklace, and drugs. Unaware that he is guilty, Renn instructs him to find who stole her belongings leading to an attack on an innocent man. When she learns that Craig is the one responsible, her cousins hold him against his will. Craig participates in the robbery of Camp Pendleton with his brothers. They hide the money in waste barrels, where he and Deran collect it later. Craig's nephew, J, breaks up with his girlfriend, Nicky, in order to protect her from the Cody family. However, this backfires and she gets together with Craig, who is over 10 years older than her. A heist gone wrong; As a result Craig decides to stay away from Smurf. He buys his own home, but he only lives in it for a short period before it gets burnt down. Craig's brother, Deran, recently bought a bar. In attempt to help him prepare, Craig steals a beer truck. This makes Deran unhappy because he wants the business to be separate from his life of crime. Craig does not learn his lesson, and does drugs with 17 y/o Nicky on the property, making Deran upset again. The Cody boys make plans to rob a local megachurch during their mission drive. Craig does not think it is right to take money away from a good cause, so he decides not to participate. When the heist is taking place, Craig changes his mind and finds Deran sitting in the getaway vehicle. Deran tells him to leave because it is too late for him to join. They get into a fight, leading Craig to drive recklessly and intoxicated on his motorcycle. He crashes it and ends up in jail, but is quickly bailed out. Craig learns about a wedding that will be taking place on a yacht. Because he realizes that there will be a lot of cash, he gets a job under a fake name and plans to commit a robbery. Deran feels bad about their fight at the church, so he agrees to help with the robbery. Pope, J, Nicky, and Marco also participate. The next time Craig sees Renn, they pass each other at the beach. She asks if he’s gonna walk by her, and he replies that he wasn’t sure if that was her. Renn retorts that Craig must have forgotten what she looks like when she’s not ODing. He then tells her that she knows he apologized for that. Renn turns her attention to the girl with him and asks who she is. He introduces her to Nicky, and she warns the younger girl to watch herself around him because, in the end, he’s not worth the ride, and then she leaves.
