The Office Character Guide

Creed Bratton is a character from the U.S. television series The Office. Unlike most characters of this version of The Office, he has no analog in the original BBC series.
Creed Bratton is a deviant, former hippie and homeless man employed at the Scranton branch of paper distributor Dunder Mifflin as a quality assurance director. Creed is a mysterious figure who is prone to making bizarre or confusing statements on a regular basis. As a result of drug use during his career as a rock musician in the 1960s, combined with signs of apparent mental illness, Creed has a phenomenally poor memory.
When seen at his office computer, he is usually playing spider solitaire. He is never shown to have been doing any actual work at The Office, though occasionally takes extreme measures to ensure his job security. Because he is typically very quiet, most of his coworkers are not sure what he does there-something of which Creed himself is also unsure.
Little is known about Creed's life outside The Office. The scattered details that emerge (as well as his behavior in The Office) are invariably bizarre and it is unknown how much of what he says is true. In fact, much of what he does say is either unsettling or downright disturbing, sometimes even describing violent crimes he claims to have committed or plans to commit. Despite all of this, Creed is outwardly quite cheery most of the time and is tolerated (or simply ignored) by his fellow employees.
