Image this, a kid, right after his mom is killed is being hunted down and is declared a wolf's head which means if found he can be killed on site for money. Before Crispins mom dies she gives him her cross of Lead. The cross says his name is Crispin. Before he was just called boy. The cross of Lead is exactly what is sounds like except it does not have any religious purpose. Why Crispins mom had the cross was because when she was working for the king he fell in love with her and then she was pregnant with his child. She was fired before the child was born and kept Crispins secret for her whole life. She had a cross made so when she die he would know who he truly was. The piece of Lead was given to Crispin by the priest as planned
