Viril Crowley

Viril Crowley is a Davegonian businessman and crime lord who leads the syndicate known as the Freeman's Company. 
Viril has a long and storied history in organized crime, starting as a lieutenant in Davegon. Over the years, his enterprises have extended from Davegon to Farset. His current enterprise is expanding his network to Lordamere. Crowley's criminal ventures have made him a wealthy and powerful man, with underworld connections and friends in high places alike. Viril is a useful ally, albeit an unsavory one. He has a reputation as a classless and wormy class of criminal. The Freeman's Company's presence in Crownhaven presents a threat to other crime bosses, including the established kingpin of Crownhaven, Arno Bask-Helzig, and the up-and-coming criminal known only as Caliban.
Crowley is a dishonest, sycophantic, and parasitic criminal, which explains his rise to power. He has little pride or ethics, and will do anything to gain someone's trust if it means he can backstab them later. Crowley's ability to weasel himself out of sticky situations through deals, compromises, and the occasional act of groveling makes him a difficult enemy to get rid of. In short, what Crowley lacks in respectability he makes up for in tenacity and ruthlessness. While Crowley attempts to maintain a professional pedigree as a semi-legitimate businessman in order to separate himself from the masses, he is an undeniably brutal, greedy, and sadistic man. He has an incessant satiation for young women, and has no reluctance making it known. Crowley takes great pleasure in lackadaisically exacting meticulous revenge plans against his enemies, even if their transgressions are minor. While Crowley has no qualms with bootlicking if it means self-preservation, he is also quite vindictive against those that look down on him. Crowley has something of an inferiority complex, inherited from his unsightly appearance and his lowborn origins. While Crowley seeks to aspire to noble heights, he also detests the aloof attitudes of aristocrats. While Crowley does have ambitions, he is also overly trusting and easily placated (if only temporarily). Perhaps his greatest downfall as an aspiring kingpin is his willingness to rest on his laurels, allowing possible rivals to scheme behind his back.
