Cribbins was the former assistant of the Crimson Cobra and worked for him at Crimson Cobra Inc.. After its acquisition by an insane Charmy Bee, Cribbins agreed to work for the Chaotix Crew if his pay was doubled.
A large, muscly man decked out in a padded vest, baggy trousers and shades, Cribbins was hired to hold the tiny Cobra on a cushion in his hand and acted as his protector. He continued to follow his employer's plans even after the loss of Cobra's business, since Cribbins was personally employed by him, not the company. Cribbins was sent to 'rough up' CCI baliffs sent to retrieve the Crimson Cobra's belongings and the men were visibly intimidated by the brute. However, an opportune phone call from Charmy with an offer to up his wages convinced him to drop his attack and went to work for "Mr Bee".
With the destruction of the Special Zone at the hands of Shadow the Hedgehog, Cribbins would appear to have perished along with the rest of New Tek City.
Trivia
- In his final page, Charmy is seen to refer to "Cribbin's salary", one of several dialogue errors in the story.
- Cribbins is never said to utter any words other than "Absolutely, Mr Cobra!" in agreement with whatever his employer says. Even his telephone call to Charmy is mere grunting, with Charmy translating to Cobra (and readers).
