B.W. "Bentwrench" Crites is a character in the novel titled The Crypt by author Scott Sigler. The character is initially introduced in episode nine of the serialized podcast.
Attributes
Outward Appearance
Bentwrench is described as being six feet tall with a barrel chest, "sausages for fingers," a narrow waist and stubby legs that give him a very physics-unfriendly gait.
Personality
Considered to be one of the most brilliant engineers in the Navy, he is also considered to be the most foul-mouthed, insubordinate and violent engineer in the Navy. Bee-Dub feels he knows all there is to know about propulsion systems, and therefore, ship captains should follow his orders, and not vice verse.
Character Background
Crimes
Crites was convicted of assaulting an officer, being on duty while under the influence of alcohol and stimulants, disobeying a direct order and abandoning his post.
Skills
Bentwrench's ability to intuitively understand propulsion systems and their problems is literally known through the galaxy. Before his assignment to the Keeling, he would spend one hour each day "holding court," his phrase for making himself available to military and civilian engineers who could not figure out various, complex problems.
