Aleister Crowley III

**Aleister Crowley III** is one of the main characters from the *D.Gray-Man* anime and manga.

A vampire-like exorcist from Romania. After he gained his Innocence, he instinctively attacked and drained the blood of Akuma, causing the villagers to believe he was a vampire. The only person who accepted him was a girl named Eliade, who later turned out to be an Akuma. When he found out what she really was, she tried to kill him. He ended up killing her as she said she only wanted to love him, despite her Akuma nature. The reason he joined the Black Order is so that Eliade's death would have a purpose.

In the AWA fics, Aleister is a student at the AWA Academy.

## **Appearance**

Krory is a tall lean man with very sharp facial features, pointed ears, pointy pug nose and sharp fangs. He has short black hair with a long white streak which falls in front of his face and spirally sideburns .When his Innocence is activated his white hair stands on end and his facial features take on a more feral look, his eyes change to reflect this, with the sclera and pupils turning black and his irises turning to a dull yellow. In addition his Teeth grow longer and become pointed. Recently the hair in the nape of his neck is growing out to make him more like a baron. He ties them with a ribbon. He wore the former exorcist uniform modified into a cloak. He now has the current black and red exorcist uniform. The coat is also modified into a cloak but this one is shorter and only goes up to the boots unlike the former one that spread on the floor. Krory appears to have recently adopted earrings.

## **Personality**

Krory led a very sheltered life before becoming an exorcist, causing him to act extremely naive (often comically so) when dealing with normal situations. Krory is also rather sensitive, which leads him to be overemotional at times, often resulting in him crying over something small. In almost complete contrast to this is his personality when his Innocence is activated. Once Krory drinks Akuma blood he becomes a violent, bloodthirsty berserker with incredible strength and feral rage in combat. He is vicious, however he still remains loyal and will not hurt someone he knows to be an ally. Eventually, these two personalities merge together; however, they are still separate, allowing Krory some degree of control. Krory has a soft spot for kids. He considers that as an adult he has a responsibility to protect them. He doesn't tolerate to be put aside by them. He also has qualms about fighting them but is ready to do so to protect his friends.

## **Abilities**

### **Innocence**

**Unnamed Innocence (Informally referred to as Teeth)**:Krory received his Innocence, a parasitic type, from a plant named "Roseanne" Cross Marian gave to him. The plant bit Krory afterwards. After agonizing pain, his teeth fell out and were replaced by his parasitic form of Innocence. These teeth allow him to act as an "Akuma sensor", activating when they recognize an enemy to be an Akuma, and enables him to drink Akuma blood without being infected by the Virus, though excessive drinking over a short period of time will result in the Virus slowly breaking his body down.

* **Enhanced Speed:**Krory is able to move at incredibly quick speeds appearing only as a blur to unready opponents.

* **Enhanced Strength:**Krory is a melee brawler when his Innocence is activated with no set style. Instead he relies on brute strength to tear opponents apart. Krory's teeth can bite through practically any Akuma Armor except when the armor is thick enough for the fangs not to penetrate completely. He was also capable of stopping a direct blow from Lavi's' hammer with his teeth.

* **Immense Durability:** One of Krory's most astounding traits when drinking Akuma blood is his incredible durability. He has been in several situations which should have led to his death and survived, including having all the moisture drained from his body and being locked in an Iron Maiden.

* **Crimson:**Through blood manipulation Krory is also able to inject his own blood into an opponent. As his blood is laced with Innocence this acts as an extremely potent poison to Akuma making them explode into tiny red particles.

* **Blood fortification:**Krory can cover parts of his body, in particular his fists with hardened blood to fortify his body and intensify his already enhanced strength.

* **Vaccine:** Krory can also suck the blood out of an ally infected with an Akuma's virus. Similarly, in his demonic form, because he is covered in Innocence-laced blood he can extract Akuma blood out of skin via touch. However, the strain of using this technique leaves Krory so exhausted he cannot stand or move.

* **Bloody Krory:** When pushed to his limits, Krory can drain the blood from his body and wield his maximum strength remotely as an almost invulnerable, winged blood mannequin. His mind then takes possession of the mannequin and allows him to move it freely. He can even split the mannequin in several parts if he wishes. Bloody Krory also has the ability to drain Akuma blood from someone without biting them. The Blood regains his body afterwards.
