Croyd's father died from the wild card virus, and it was up to him to feed his family in those troubled times. Due to his transformations and unusual sleep-cycle, Croyd was unable to return to school or lead any sort of normal life. Instead, he started to use his powers for crime, stealing to help pay the bills and support his mother and siblings. In the first years of his criminal enterprises, he was tutored by Bentley, a minor criminal with a skill for planning capers. Fearing the unpredictability of his transformations, Croyd soon developed a terrible phobia of sleeping. He started to use amphetamines to stay awake for longer, and soon was addicted to the pills. In short time, Croyd's mother had a mental breakdown, his sister married, and his brother opened a business of his own. Feeling more and more alienated from his family, Croyd drifted away. Croyd's powers resemble comic book characters like Dial H for Hero, but a more obvious influence may be Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis." Renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, Croyde in north west Devon offers so much for families, groups and couples alike to explore.

Croyd's appearance also changes completely while he sleeps, and he never looks the same twice. Apparently even his fingerprints change, so there is no way to identify the Sleeper physically. While sometimes his appearance is totally human, Croyd's transformations frequently include some joker traits even when he has superhuman powers. Examples include multifaceted eyes, albino skin, scar-tissue plates, and fine colorful hair all over his body. Occasionally, Croyd wakes up in a hideous joker body with absolutely no powers, such as when he resembled a humanoid skink. About two-thirds of his incarnations are aces or joker-aces, and one-third are pure jokers.

Park Features His greatest fear is going to sleep, because that always means yet another unpredictable physical change. He is afraid of dying during one of his comas, or maybe turning permanently into a hideous joker that won't need sleep. It has been theorized that what Croyd fears most of all is to wake up insane like his mother.
