Crash began life as a simple, normal bandicoot, living freely as a wild animal in the jungles of N. Sanity island. He was captured by Neo Cortex, in order to be made the general of Cortex's Cortex Commandos, as part of his evil plan to conquer the world. He was mutated by Cortex and his right-hand-man, N. Brio, with the Evolvo-Ray, which gave him human sapience and made him anthropomorphic, and proceeded with a nine-month training program. Despite Brio's warnings of the machine's unreliability, Cortex then sent Crash through the Cortex Vortex, a machine designed to make Crash into a genius and brainwash him into becoming 100% loyal to Cortex's every order. The machine failed just as Brio predicted and rejected Crash, allowing him to escape. Crash ends up running out of a window and falling down into the sea below. Angrily brushing off his failure, Cortex began repairs for the Cortex Vortex and moved on to the next candidate for brainwashing: Tawna Bandicoot, Crash's now ex-girlfriend.
He is lovable and innocent but can be a bit of a klutz, his intentions are always good though. Not a mean bone in his body!
