Crippen was born in London, England. He was married but his wife's name is never revealed. His wife was terminally ill and that's when Crippen met Dr P A Mundy. Crippen asked Mundy to do something about his wife and although he first declines he thought that he might as well try and help her. She died during surgery and Crippen never forgave Mundy. He followed him around everywhere he went to make sure he never forgot what he did. Crippen is apprehended and placed in jail for his own safety and from Hoss' very angry little brother.
