->'''Voiced by:''' Shelly Desai

A KGB mole in the ISIS organization, Crenshaw is introduced in "Mole Hunt" during, ironically, a KGB interrogation training exercise. When Archer tries to cover up his own inappropriate expenses, Crenshaw is forced to out himself as a KGB operative named Kremenski and take Archer hostage. During his escape attempt, he is distracted by Archer's [[MommyIssues strangely-timed]] erection, and is killed on the spot.
----
* CharacterDeath: Shot three times by Archer at the end of "Mole Hunt".
* ChekhovsGunman: Introduced as a minor side-character, Crenshaw ends up being the main antagonist of the first episode.
* CigarChomper: Lights a cigar during the training exercise.
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: Archer uses him as such. After Cyril notices Kremenski had stolen $50,000 from Archer's account, Archer lets everyone believe Kremenski had been stealing from him all along.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Is genuinely disturbed by Archer getting an erection at the thought of Malory dying, to the point that it distracts him and leaves him open to gunfire, and feels everyone mistreats Pam.

* TortureTechnician: At least, plays the part in an ElectricTorture training exercise.

* WeHaveWaysOfMakingYouTalk: Invokes this word-for-word during the training exercise.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Archer complains about his poor attempts at accents in the training exercise:
-->'''Archer''': Can you just pick an accent and stick with it?

He's broke so he needs outside funding to keep his charities afloat, and he'd be keeping a mentally-unstable, violent person off the streets.]] Pam doesn't think this is too bad, and even Lana says that they could have just gone to a lawyer and interviewed them there, instead of working this whole scheme. In fact, beyond that, he doesn't do anything horrible whatsoever. He is, at most, an antagonist to Cheryl. In general, he's hardly a villain whatsoever.
* BadassBeard: In the family portrait. He's rather clean-shaven when he makes his debut in the show proper.
* BigFun: He's a slightly chubby guy but fairly friendly, [[spoiler:even if he has plans which aren't so nice]].
* CoolBigBro: Though Cheryl thinks he's gross. [[spoiler:He even apologizes to Cheryl for his plan to get her money.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Of the "Sea Tunt" two-parter. Kind of anyway. [[spoiler:Part 1 was him vs. Cheryl, but the other ISIS staff either didn't care or supported him when they found out what he was doing]].
* DudeNotFunny: InUniverse; His reaction when Archer laughs about the time Cheryl had them lock her up because she thought she was a werewolf. [[spoiler:He takes his sister's mental decline much more seriously than the others.]]
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Having spent all his inheritance funding so many charities. This becomes [[spoiler:inverted again as he makes back ''more'' than he had from insurance money after his sealab is blown up.]]
* TheGhost: Is mentioned in "El Secustro" and in passing as Cheryl's "gross" brother. Finally appears in the season four two-part finale.
* InformedAbility: Cecil is supposedly in charge of Cheryl's half of the Tunt fortune, which based on some of the things she owns (half a railroad, the spectacular Tuntmore Towers Hotel, etc.) implies he is an excellent businessman. It turns out that he is terrible with money and does not even carefully scrutinize the budgets of his own charities to the point where he has spent his half of the fortune. Though it is theorized Cheryl lied about that to keep Malory away, or that he had power of state and had to give his approval to Cheryl's expenditures, but could not spend a cent of her inheritance himself.
* InkSuitActor: Looks almost exactly like Eugene Mirman.
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:He's trying to have Cheryl committed so he can seize and spend her half of their inheritance, but she probably should have been institutionalized years ago for everyone's safety, including her own. Pam notes that while he's been a dick about it, he has a point.]]
* MysteriousBacker: He offers his "choppersaurus" to help the ISIS crew find a bomb, but it's all part of a bigger plan.
* NiceHat: He wears an orange ski cap.
* NotSoAboveItAll: At first, he seemed to be the OnlySaneMan (especially compared to his sister). But as it turns out, he's a complete idiot at spending his money, throwing away his entire fortune carelessly. Some of his charities are very poorly planned and damn near pointless (such as the underground water lab with a horrible budget and no oversight, not to mention [[spoiler:only one man left who has gone insane]]).
-->'''Cecil:''' "Nourish A Child", "Shoe A Child", "Bespectacle a Child", "One Laptop per Child Soldier"... which unfortunately became "One Thousand Laptops per Warlord".
* OnlySaneMan: Reacts with shock to the information given about Cheryl like any normal person.
* {{Retcon}}: In a couple of ways. His appearance in "Sea Tunt" is completely different from in the family painting shown in "El Secuestro". Also, he is apparently ''not'' in charge of managing Cheryl's money, [[spoiler:as he needs to prove her mentally incompetent in order to get control of it in "Sea Tunt"]], though it's possible she was lying to keep Malory's hands off her fortune and Tiffy made him shave in addition to turning vegan.
* RichesToRags: He bankrupted himself donating to incredibly poorly thought out charities. [[spoiler:Though he gained back his wealth from the insurance money from the blown up Sealab.]]

----
* ArtificialLimbs: His new left hand.

* BerserkButton: For all the put-downs she hurls at... well... everyone, you'd think she would have thicker skin. [[spoiler:But when Barry tells her that she's "no prize herself," she launch tackles him to the ground.]]
* BigSisterBully: She more or less spends all of her screen time treating her sister like shit, and their childhood together was probably no different.
* BreakTheHaughty: The episode she appears in establishes her as every bit the bully she was made out to be, and then breaks her utterly. [[spoiler:Archer lets her be beaten up by her sister for a short while and then knocks her out to drag her along to rescue Pam, Barry beats her up and nearly chokes her to death, and then her wedding gets cancelled]].
* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:Tackling Barry was a fairly stupid move. After the initial surprise stops, Barry quickly turns the tables and nearly strangles her to death.]]
* [[FatBastard Fat Bitch]]: She's overweight just like Pam (perhaps even a bit more), but unlike her, she's a completely cruel and horrid bitch.
* TheGhost: She's mentioned a number of times by Pam and once by Malory before she is seen, as a person who is completely horrible. When she's met, it's discovered Pam was, if anything, understating what a terrible person she was.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She repeatedly puts Pam down for being overweight when she herself is at least as fat as Pam and much less attractive (inside and out).
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Ends up losing her husband-to-be in a very similar manner to the way she hurt Pam's feelings in High School.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Her sister [[spoiler:has been kidnapped by a sociopathic cyborg]] and all she does is bitch about how she will be late to the rehearsal dinner for her wedding. More specifically, how she will miss the all-you-can-eat prime rib.
* {{Jerkass}}:
** Pretty much every word out of her mouth is an insult, a put down, or just general bitching. She also had sex with a boy she ''knew'' Pam liked for no reason other than to hurt her feelings. She is one of the few characters that has neither any redeeming qualities, nor a FreudianExcuse that balances out or slightly makes up for her terrible attitude.
** When Pam is hanging from the roof of a Grain Elevator by her hands and feet, she asks Edie to "cut her down" and Edie responds by [[ExactWords launching into a trade]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech of verbal abuse.]] The kicker: she knew what Pam meant, she just used the opportunity to insult her more.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: You'd think that at ''some'' point throughout her adventure with Archer to rescure her sister from a psychotic Russian cyborg there would be a tender moment where she would admit that she actually does care for Pam. There isn't, and the only time she actively tries to help Pam is when Barry insults ''her'', not Pam.
* NoodleIncident: A conversation in one of the last episodes mentioned her giving birth in their farm's barn because of, and I quote, "A long, racist story." Make of that what you will.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She's no Barry, but certainly antagonistic. And she insults Archer because she believed Archer was a homosexual, and was driving to ruin her wedding because (at the time) gay couples could not get married.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When a tied-up Pam asks her to "cut her down" she gives her this instead of literally freeing her.
