Owen Crisp was one of the residents of Fort Bailey in the 19th century and was helping to defend the fort when it was under a continuing Hellhound attack.
During the night when Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald were opening the main gate of the fort in order to secretly leave, the fort was assaulted by hellhounds. Owen and Finn were subsequently called to the gate by James to help closing it. While doing so, Owen was grabbed by a hellhound reaching through the still open gate and pulled outside. Owen was desperately holding on to Finn and got stuck between the two gate leaves. He was continuously mauled but still holding on to straps on the gate. James cut the straps so he could close the gate. Leaving Owen to his fate to get mauled to death by the hellhounds.
His name was mentioned during his funeral on the following day where it is shown that the other men seem to have retrieved a portion of his body for burrial.
