Croy
The librarian at the Smoke. He’s about 40 and, in Tally’s eyes, is unspeakably ugly: he has milky eyes, saggy skin, shuffles around, and his hands are claw-like. Tally notes that the Boss handles his books surprisingly gracefully despite being so seemingly old and decrepit. The Boss is fanatical about preserving his collection, especially magazines from the Rusty era. The Boss conspires with Tally to save a duffel bag full of magazines when Special Circumstances raids the Smoke, but though he manages to hide the magazines, a Special kills him.
