Kevin Wendell Crumb

Kevin Wendell Crumb (better known by the alias of “The Horde”) is the central protagonist of the Eaststrail film trilogy, serving as the main antagonist of Shyamalan’s 2016 thriller Split and the secondary antagonist of Glass.

Kevin suffers from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), resulting in the creation of twenty-three additional personalities. According to the movie, these twenty-three personalities sits in a room, waiting for their turn “in the light”. “Split”’s depiction of DID is factually inaccurate and contradicts many of the diagnostic criteria and symptoms listed in the DSM.

History
Kevin Wendell Crumb was born to parents Clarence and Penelope Crumb.

When Kevin was 3 years old, his father died in the Crash of East Rail 177 in 2000, the crash caused by Elijah Price. After his father's death, Kevin was left with his abusive mother, who would punish him severely if he did not keep everything clean.

For about 2-3 years before the events of Split, Kevin worked in maintenance at the Philadelphia Zoo, and his DID was treated by Dr. Karen Fletcher. The real Kevin was buried in his own mind by his other personalities on September 18, 2014 while he was on a bus.

Split
Kevin Wendell Crumb is the main antagonist of Split. Kevin (as “Dennis“) kidnaps three teenage girls after one of their birthdamovie, Kevin is visiting his psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher. He as “Barry” (who is really “Dennis” disguised as “Barry”), explains a new personality beginning to form, one known as “The Beast”.

Casey eventually escapes from Kevin when ”The Beast” sees Casey as “broken”.

Kevin
the host body, and original personality of Kevin Wendell Crumb.

Dennis
“Dennis” is one of the earliest personalities to form, as well as one of the more disturbing, as he has a perverted liking for watching young girls dance naked. He also has obsessive-compulsive disorder (caused by Penelope Crumb’s OCD) and touches everything with a yellow rag.

He is also very intelligent, manipulative, and tough, and is mostly able to act like a different personality. Although he is cold at times, he seems to have a lighter side, especially towards children. He, Patricia, and Hedwig are known as "The Horde" by the other 20 personalities, and the three are worshippers of The Beast.

Patricia
A polite British speaking woman who at times can be psychotic. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to animals and cuisine in different societies, and loves to cook. Dennis and Hedwig listen to her and all three are called "The Horde".

Hedwig
A 9-year-old boy who befriends Casey, Claire, and Marcia after they were kidnapped by Dennis. He loves to draw and dance to music, especially that of Kanye West. Unlike the other personalities, Hedwig has the power to steal "the light" from Barry, the dominant personality, and while not intentionally evil, Hedwig chooses to give the light to Dennis and Patricia so he's not made fun of. Enjoys using the term "Etcetera".

Barry
An extroverted, effeminate fashion designer who is one of the nicer personalities, and is the dominant personality before being taken over by The Horde.

The Beast
The 24th and most dangerous personality to form. This personality changes Kevin's body chemistry and physiology to the point where his skin is impenetrable and can develop superhuman speed, strength, and durability.

Jade
A foul-mouthed yet sweet teenage girl who has diabetes and has to take insulin shots.

Orwell
A highly intelligent man in the field of history who tends to compare historical events, mostly those in the 11th and 12th centuries, to the feud between The Horde and the other 20 personalities including himself.
