Crumblejon is a Unique Recruit found in Mongrel. His dialogue consists mostly of you pestering him, with him getting annoyed and refusing to join your squad.
According to dialogue, especially between him and Luquin, Crumblejon was a former Samurai in the United Cities, famed as the "White Ripper" around the time when Luquin was free.
Unfortunately, time has not been kind to the once-feared Samurai. He is now known as “Crumblejon” on account of his crumbling bones, and he has become unnaturally stooped and shrunken. However, a trip to the local Surgeon may remedy this...
It is possible to get him to accept your request at no cost. He will also attempt to convince female members of your squad to give him a massage.
Crumblejon will also reveal that he has a wife, athough they have been estranged for a substantial period of time.
They wear no armour and have weapons manufactured by Ancient.If he dies or is already recruited a generic sword for hire will spawn.

Dialogue
When Crumblejon being kept as prisoners of cannibals, he would say something like this;
Crumblejon: Fuck.
Crumblejon: Really, I'm too old and sinewy. You don't want to eat me...
Crumblejon: You'll kill me, cook me up, take a bite and spit me right back out...
Crumblejon: ... You can't even understand what I'm saying, can you?...
Crumblejon: FUCK.
Crumblejon: That was a close one. My wife would be worried... Speaking of which... should probably go find her at some point really... I'm sure she's found someone else to warm the bed in my absence...
Crumblejon has interesting dialogue between him and Luquin, revealing his past as a United Cities Samurai. Along with other dialogue, it seems that he was forgotten by the United Cities due to his physical decline due to age;
Luquin: Still can't get used to all this open space, you know...
Luquin: I remember you... The White Ripper.
Luquin: Time hasn't been kind to you.
Crumblejon: You either. You look like gutter shit.
Crumblejon: I remember them parading you through the streets of Heng...
Crumblejon: You were just a boy. What was that... 10, 15 years ago?
Luquin: I was tortured and starved in prison for 15 years... It takes its toll...
Luquin: Ha. What's your excuse?
Crumblejon: *sigh*
Age
According to some dialogue, Crumblejon is at least 45 years old;
Crumblejon: "Reach fourty five and you feel pain you never would have thought even existed..."
