Nicholas Crowder

On December 18, 1788, a man named Nicholas Crowder was on a
voyage to Australia, but upon witnessing the heat and privations he
decided to turn the boat around. He instead set course to conquer the
South Pole, where, according to legend, he still lives. Every December
18th, "Old Nick" (as he is now known) returns to Australia to judge
whether or not the children have been naughty or nice. The nice children
get the gift of not being abducted and taken to the South Pole to work
in Old Nick's workshop. The bad children make hats and weapons for Old
Nick, which are delivered to his mansion on December 17. Old Nick sells
any duplicate weapons and hats he has received online, "practically
giving them away".


During the events of A Smissmas Story,
Old Nick appears at the shopping mall in Teufort to abduct children. He
is then beaten up by the Scout and the Soldier. Old Nick then picks up
Little Jack and claims that he will "work very hard" in his workshop.
Scout warns him not to abduct the boy, who stabs Old Nick in the neck
with an icicle, killing him.

• • Old Nick first appeared in the Australian Christmas update.
    

• Crowder rides a sleigh pulled by at least three reindeer, one of which has an eye-patch, and a Kangaroo with a red nose and wearing Prancer's Pride.
