Crane's personality
Dr. Crane is very passionate about psychiatry. A staunch Freudian, he strongly believes that there "are no accidents" and that every action carries with it a meaningful and unconscious subtext. He is a big fan of analyzing dreams, as well.
Crane is well-to-do, with expensive tastes and a snobbish, uptight demeanor. His large ego and Harvard and Oxford education makes him extremely confident in the advice he gives on his radio show.
In his private life, he meddles in other's relationships, much to the chagrin of his family and friends. Though he can often be overbearing and annoying, Dr. Crane's pompous bearing hides an inner desire to please everyone around him.
As a child he was frequently an outcast, so his adult life has been marked by a strong desire to be included and loved by everyone. In spite of this, Crane's personal life has been quite unstable, leading some to argue he does not always practice what he preaches.
Crane's family and friends
Frasier's character was introduced on Cheers in 1984 as a new boyfriend for waitress Diane Chambers. They would get engaged, though the relationship ended when Diane left Frasier at the altar. In spite of this, Frasier became a regular at the bar. He would go on to marry Lilith Sternen and have a son, Fredrick Gaylord Crane in 1989. Frasier and Lilith divorced in 1993 with Lilith gaining primary custody of Fredrick.
His father is Martin Crane. While Frasier was in Boston, he had a bad relationship with his father, so he told his friends at Cheers that his father was dead. He also rarely mentioned his younger brother, fellow psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane, with whom he shared a lot of personality traits as well as a sibling rivalry.
After Martin, a cop, was shot in the line of duty, his injury forced him to move in with Frasier, who had moved back to Seattle, Washington to start a new life. The arrangement was tense at first, but father and son soon reached an accommodation after Frasier hired Daphne Moon as a live-in physical therapist for his father.
At work, Frasier's producer is Roz Doyle, who keeps him in line both professionally and personally, though her frequent short-term relationships make Frasier seem positively committed in comparison.
Frasier and Niles' mother, Dr. Hester Crane, died years earlier. It is claimed that Hester named her sons after her two favorite lab rats.
