Titus Crow is the protagonist of Brian Lumley's horror series — an occult investigator who confronts supernatural threats rather than succumbing to them. As Lumley put it: "My guys fight back. Also, they like to have a laugh along the way."
Unlike the typically powerless narrators of Lovecraftian fiction, Crow actively fights the Great Old Ones with Elder God assistance. He wields a coffin-shaped clock, a time-space device once owned by Randolph Carter and de Marigny's father.
