The Crows

T he crows are the main eye witnesses of a horrid murder mystery. Due to the size of the flock, and how familiar they are with navigating Springfield from above, they're able to see what most people cannot. This event, though, is rather a curiosity to them than a horrible circumstance. Their goal is to piece together a story that strings multiple people into it, and even if they had personal stakes, no human would be able to listen to a crow's side of the story.

Individual crows don't matter as they're less concrete characters and more of the audience's primary perspective into the story of Murder on the Wire. They're meant to be vague reader inserts, where you're forced into a perspective but have a bit of freedom in how you interpret the events you see.
