Crow

"*What are humans...? How do i become like them?*"

**Crow** is a BLK Scout TF2 Freak made by Blasteroid

## Origin

Crow was originally a being born from the painting "Shadows of Humanity" created by Manuel Hendrickson, his late adoptive father and artist who was always being fearful towards himself for being unaccepted as a friend to most kids in his neighborhood, as Manuel later lived and experience a life of hardship and pain as an adult during the war. When it finally ended, he found freedom to express his emotions through art, despite people did came to him and ask to buy them, he refused.

As those paintings he made a connection to a certain memory for him to remember his past, when he decided that he would make his last work a true masterpiece, painting a silhouette of his child-self surrounded by shadows. While creating the painting, a spark of light shined down when he finally painted the last touch to it, it created Crow, a manifestation of Manuel's emotions as a child and his late years as an adult.

As Manuel later on adopted Crow to be his son, teaching him about life as a human during his remaining time living with him, he realized that Crow was created through art and his life was in danger due to not absorbing life force for long. Because of this he created the last pieces of art that he could as a way to thank his son for making him realized who he was.

Before he died, he gave Crow a letter as the last lesson he would ever teach him, as only when Crow learned about emotions, only then he would become a true human.

## Trivia
