Eric (played by Bill Skarsgård) is a protagonist in The Crow. An addict who bonds with Shelly at a rehab center. After they are murdered by crime lord Vincent Roeg's henchmen, Eric is resurrected by spirit guide Kronos with supernatural healing abilities.

Vincent Roeg (played by Danny Huston) appears in The Crow. A crime lord posing as a musical aristocrat who made a pact with the Devil for eternal life in exchange for innocent souls.

A friend of Shelly who helps Eric navigate his mission after his resurrection. He provides Eric with Shelly's phone containing the incriminating video that exposes Roeg's past crimes.
