Crows of Liberation

The Crows of Liberation are a faction in Super Smash Bros. - Furia Indomita.
They plan to use Jenova to defy time and space and create a singularity, transcending both their mortality and fate itself.
== Components ==
The Crows are:
Euron Greyjoy: The leader of the Crows, titled "The First Storm and the Last". He first summoned Jenova through a massive blood sacrifice in the sea near Oldtown, and caused Planetos to encompass parts of different worlds due to the alteration of time and space.
Crow Armbrust: Came from Zemuria, where he was a terrorist opposed to the powerful chancellor Giliath Osborne. A skilled gunner and user of naginata. Titled "Azure Knight of Order".
Goro Akechi: A Japanese student and detective from Tokyo, who was the adopted son of politician Masayoshi Shido and planning to murder his abusive father. He uses a laser blade and the Persona guardian entities Robin Hood and Loki. He seems to have more than a friendship with Sephiroth, whom he acts as a retainer to. He's known as the "Ashen Enforcer of Justice". 
Sephiroth: A former SOLDIER infused with Jenova's DNA, who had fallen into the core of planet Gaia and taken control of Jenova itself. He's known as the "Ebon Angel of Purity". He's the strongest of the Crows in battle and seems to have come from the future to undo his own defeat at the hands of Cloud Strife.
Jenova Pandaemonium: The dead husk of Bowser, occupied by a fragment of Jenova after the King of the Koopas was impaled by Sephiroth. It contains Jenova's mind, separate from Sephiroth's. It was the thing that ultimately killed Mario. Titled "Vermillion Demon of Power". Once defeated in Bowser's husk, it absorbs thousands of Dark Ones to turn into Jenova CROW.
== Lost Ravens ==
DLC campaigns in the game deal with the three Lost Ravens, who are part of the Crows but never face the player's party in the main story. They are:
Ken Kaneki, the "Argent Ghoul of Tokyo"
Rufus Targaryen, the "Auric Gunman of Valyria" 
Ardyn Izunia, the "Palatinate Reject of Insomnia"
They are the main antagonists in the DLC campaign "Bright Shield of Aegon", focusing on Jaime Lannister and Riou. Rufus also returns in "The Joker of Braavos" as the main villain alongside Weiss of the Faceless Men (technically Hojo).
== Trivia ==
Aside from Pandaemonium and Sephiroth, all Crows have "Crow" in their name: Euron nicknames himself Crow's Eye in the books, Goro Akechi's nickname in Persona 5 is Crow, and Crow Armbrust has Crow as first name. Though Pandemonium has another boss-exclusive form named Jenova CROW, and Sephiroth has the theme of black feathers similar to a crow's ones.
Some of the Crows of Liberation (especially Euron and Goro, but arguably Sephiroth too) are ambiguously non-straight in canon, though there's no confirmation that any of them actually is. In a preview chapter of ASOIAF TWOW, Euron is mentioned to have abused his brother Aeron, while Goro in Persona 5 seems to like Joker, though nothing was confirmed. The only almost unambiguously straight member of the Crows is Crow Armbrust (who might have bisexual subtext with Rean but is clearly shown to like women). In Furia Indomita's story mode, interactions between all four of the Crows of Liberation contain homoerotic subtext. 
Goro refers to Crow as "the second coming of Siegfried". This is a reference to the fact that both the Persona 5 protagonist (whom Goro was secretly drawn to) and Crow Armbrust himself have borne the name Siegfried once (P5's MC is named Siegfried Joker, while Crow bore the name Azure Siegfried as a brainwashed agent of the Gnomes). 
The titles of the Crows reflect the Divine Knights from the Trails of Cold Steel series: there are an "Ashen", an "Azure", an "Argent", a "Vermillion" and an "Ebon" knights, as there are Crows. However, there are also a Palatinate and an Auric knight, while no Crows have those titles. The Lost Crows, however, do.
