BIOGRAPHY:
Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Junior (c. 1962 - 1995) was a pure-blood or half-blood wizard and the son of Bartemius Crouch Senior. He joined Lord Voldemort to become a Death Eater in his teens. He was also the first ever known escapee of Azkaban prison in its almost 300 year history.
In 1981, shortly after Voldemort's first defeat, Crouch allegedly participated in the capture and torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom along with the Lestranges, using the Cruciatus Curse to drive the two Aurors to insanity. Crouch and his comrades were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for their crimes by his own father.
Crouch and his parents hatched a plot under which Crouch's mother would take his place in Azkaban, using the Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself. She died and was buried in Azkaban, with the result that the wizarding world believed that Crouch himself was dead. Crouch spent the following years living under his father's Imperius Curse. He eventually broke free with the help of Voldemort, who had learned that Crouch was still alive, and again entered the Dark Lord's service, disguised as Alastor Moody, former Auror and the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts during the 1994–1995 school year. In this role, Crouch manipulated the Triwizard Tournament so that Harry Potter was chosen as a champion, and turned the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey that transported Harry and Cedric Diggory to Voldemort. Shortly afterwards, his identity was exposed, and Crouch was given the Dementor's Kiss by a Dementor that Cornelius Fudge had brought along with him.
❝Father, I didn't! I didn't, I swear it, Father, don't send me back to the Dementors... No! Mother, no [...] I'm your son!❞ –Barty Crouch Jr
