Mr. Krawley's TCG card, taken from neopets TCG card list.

Mr. Krawley is a Blue Krawk usually dressed in a suit, and identified by his bright yellow eyes. He is a creator of powerful magical potions, which are not only capable of affecting the physical body but the reality around a person as well. He also has very powerful magic, able to animate non-living objects such as stone and trees. He is also capable of posing as different Neopets, such as a pink Elephante gypsy and Dr. Edward Alexander, whether by using transformation potions or magic. He was the mastermind behind the events of The Tale of Woe plot, and the overall main antagonist.

Plot summary

The Tale of Woe

Main Article: The Tale of Woe

Mr. Krawley appeared in Neovia (unnamed at the time) before Bruno, offering him a potion to give him what he desired. Soon after, everyone in Neovia was taking his miracle elixir. It was soon revealed the potions were cursed rather than a blessing, and the inhabitants of the city were turned into monstrous forms of their own desires, and sought revenge for what Mr. Krawley did to them. He disappered before this could happen, however, and they moved their anger to Bruno and his family instead for causing the problem to spread in the first place.

After Neovia's inhabitants went under a different curse from The Spirit of Slumber, Mr. Krawley appeared to the suffering staff of Meepit Oaks in the guise of Dr. Edward Alexander. Giving the inmates a potion which seemed to calm them, he left a flower in Nurse Lucy's care before leaving the upcoming chaos as he had done before.

Years later, Gilly arrived at a gypsy camp where Mr. Krawley (disguised as a Pink Elephante) told her The Tale of Woe and the fate of Neovia. Weeks later on Halloween when the cursed Neovia was about to attack Bruno and Gilly, Mr. Krawley was spotted and Gilly gave him chase to Meepit Oaks, where she discovered the flower left to Lucy (who had died by the time Gilly had found her), the final ingredient to cure Neovia. When the village was cured, Gilly spotted him watching as Sophie said her goodbyes to her family and magically disappeared, leaving purple smoke behind.

Trivia

  • Mr. Krawley remained unnamed in The Tale of Woe until Chapter 11, but his name could be found in the Neopets TCG card of the Haunted Woods Expansion Set months before the plot was actually released.
  • The character Mr. Krawley may be influenced by Mr. Dark of the book and movie Something Wicked This Way Comes. The name Mr. Krawley and Alexander may be related to the 19th and 20th century occultist Aleister Crowley.
