Crosby is a red-faced American patriot whom John first meets on the plane to San Lorenzo. Crosby is going there with his wife, Hazel, to set up a new bicycle factory, principally because he feels the awful labor conditions to be an advantage to him. Crosby, along with his wife, is one of the few survivors after the ice-nine catastrophe, and becomes the resident cook for those few that are left.
