Duke Crocker is a character on the TV show Haven who is initially presented as untrustworthy but becomes a close friend and ally to the main characters. He has a shady past as a smuggler but helps the people of Haven and uses his skills to solve mysteries. Duke struggles with the destiny of his family to kill troubled people and tries to prove he can be courageous and help others instead of being a serial killer like his brother. He develops romantic relationships throughout the show but also values his friendship with Audrey above all else.

1. Duke Crocker
Oh, Duke!
you guys...
I can't even properly
explain Duke
Crocker.
But I'll try.

2. Duke is saucy and smartalecky and makes shady
business deals.
He starts out saving the life
of Audrey (the female main
character), but is
antagonistic to Nathan (the
other male main character)
and in season 1 we're not
so sure he's a good guy.
Except we are, because
we've seen television
before.

3. Duke and Nathan spend a lot of time saying snide things
to each other and publicly declaring how much they
dislike and mistrust the other.
Yes, the lads do protest too much.
By season 4 they've pretty much given up all pretense
and just make this face at each other a lot.

4. Duke quickly
becomes close
friends with Audrey
and helps her in any
way he can.
He has indicated that
he would like to be
more than friends.
Although tempted,
she turned him
down.
He's fine with this,
because he's an actual
good guy who values
her friendship just for
what it is.

5. Duke has had other love interests.
One was his
estranged wife,
whom he got back
together with just
before she got shot
to death (as she was
about to reveal the
season's Big
Mystery).
One had a Trouble
that almost got him
killed of old age.
One left town
because Haven is
creepy.
One he spent the
entire season pretty
much going
"pleasedon'tdiedon't
diedon'tdie" at and
then she died
anyway. We're
hoping it's a
temporary thing.

6. Duke likes to rescue kids
and once made really good
friends with one. (She also
made him dress up as a
pirate, something the fans
enjoyed very much indeed.)
Unfortunately, the only
child of his own has a
Trouble that means she can
never meet him or he'll die.

7. In season 2, Duke finds out
that his family are destined
to kill Troubled people.
They have handy
superpowers to help with
that and everything.
.
Duke would rather not kill
the Troubled.
If you force him to do it he'll
make this face at you.

8. In season 4, his brother
comes to town and Duke
tries desperately to keep
him out of any trouble, only
to have brother turn into a
creepy serial killer who has
to die.
A lot of people like to inform
Duke that he too is destined
to be a creepy serial killer.
He likes to try to prove
them wrong by being
supportive, courageous,
and quite often the voice of
reason.
He would very much prefer
to get the hell out of dodge
and stop caring about
people, but that doesn't
seem to be in his nature.

9. Although he still smuggles, sells weed, drinks way
too much alcohol, and occasionally steals stuff off
of old ladies' bedside tables. (But only in an
emergency.)
He may be a big fluffy angst puppy, but he'll go for
the garbage cans over the prize shows every
time. Just the way I like them.

10. Look at that smile.
And did I mention that he cooks? Because he
totally cooks.
