** In this version of the tale, Lestrade is always eager to involve Crow in whatever case is stumping the police at the time. While he values Crow's abilities to discern subtle details others miss, he often dismisses Crow's theories until he is almost inevitably proven correct. At least he's trying and doesn't hold being proven wrong against Crow. He also willfully overlooks the clear fact that Doyle is a hellhound due to his own past experiences with the registration act.

When asked why there are no female Nameless, Crow responds that there aren't technically any male Nameless either and they'd more properly be compared to sexless drones, like you'd find in a bee hive.
