 Hello, boys.

— Crowley

Some demons are ravenous killers, indulging in torment, or other acts of evil. Crowley is a pragmatist, and a businessman. Every move he makes has an end. Power is his endgame, and his sights are high. As such, he has no enmity toward humans or other mortals unless they have a quarrel with him first.

## Personality

Crowley is pragmatic, seeking power rather than simply indulging in base desires. While he certainly enjoys indulgence, it is not his primary goal. Crowley has a dark sense of humor, tending to be a smart ass, appearing to take life less seriously than others, even while being -very- serious about his work. He also tends to make fun of people, assigning them nicknames. He is greedy, ruthless, power hungry, and sadistic. But he channels his darkness towards a goal rather than giving into chaos.

## SKILLS

Crowley doesn't have to be a martial arts master to solve a conflict, however if necessary he can generally hold his own in a scrap.

Crowley knows many languages, even Enochian.

Crowley knows about a vast array of supernatural beings and how to destroy them, and where they come from. This makes him a good contact if you are trying to kill something exotic.. if he is willing to help that is.

Crowley is incredibly intelligent, able to think well ahead of his enemies, and plan their demise.

Crowley has the knowledge to use Enochian symbols in ritual magic, such as to banish or ward against angels. He is also skilled in certain infernal rituals, such as the ability to communicate with other demons by using a goblet of human blood and speaking a spell.

Crowley is a master salesman, able to make one's very soul sound like a worthy price for one's desires. He is also very good at crafting the fine print in a contract.

## CASTING

Crowley has a working knowledge of hexing, as sometimes used by witches, and he is able curse others, even up to casting a death hex on someone if necessary. He rarely utilizes this knowledge unless the situation calls for it, such as for leverage. However, that is the extent of his witchcraft knowledge.

## POWERS

Crowley is superhumanly strong, able to press at least two tons. He is also far more durable than a human being, and his host can take a lot of punishment. He can heal non-lethal wounds rapidly unless he is decapitated or maimed. Maimed injuries take longer to heal. His agility and speed are several times that of a human as well.

Crowley's physical five senses are at animal level sharpness, and he is able to see clearly in darkness.

As a demon Crowley is immortal, his vessel will never age, get sick, or bleed to death. He cannot be killed by normal means. (See Weaknesses)

Crowley can take possession of a human host with ease. This is a necessity for demons of his type in order to interface with the mortal plane.

Crowley is also able to control and summon fire from nothing. He can hurl fireballs at opponents, if necessary, or cause an object or enemy to simply catch on fire. As with his telekinesis, this ability must be used within twenty feet of the target.

Using a combination of magic and negotiating with various spiritual powers, Crowley is able to grant other beings quite a variety of boons in exchange for various prices. (There are limitations, of course--usually these benefits are limited to material gains, such as wealth, health, or other things achievable via powerful sorcery.) The demon will collect on the bargain per the terms of their contract, unless for some reason he chooses to release the other party from their contract.

Crowley is able to sense most nearby supernatural beings and identify their nature.

Crowley possesses strong telekinetic powers, able to throw grown men and large objects with great force. Against mortals or others without strong physical defenses, he can also use this to cause direct physical harm, such as damaging internal organs or even tearing someone apart. He must be within twenty feet or so to effectively use this power.

Crowley can travel any distance instantly, even into other dimensions if he is not barred from them in some way. In his case this generally means various hell dimensions.

## ADVANTAGES

Crowley owns a hell hound that is around five feet tall and is far more aggressive than other hell hounds.

## WEAKNESSES

Like any demon of his type, Crowley is vulnerable to exorcism.

Fire created by holy means, such as holy oil when ignited, or divinely conjured flames, are both extremely painful to Crowley.

It burns! As with certain other demonic entities, Crowley is caused extreme pain and discomfort by contact with holy water.

Other forms of magic exist that can harm or destroy even powerful demons. Powerful magic users with such knowledge would have a significant advantage over Crowley.

Magical weapons designed to harm spiritual beings are also able to harm him.

Wards that block or trap demons are effective in keeping Crowley out of an area, or trapping him. It is possible to tattoo such a ward onto one's skin, preventing possession.

Crowley was born in Scotland to a rogue witch. His father abandoned them when he was young. Crowley's mother Rowena did not nurture him, even considering her own survival to be more important than her son. She once tried sell him for three pigs. Crowley was taught a bit of magic from his mother, namely how to use hex bags. He also inherited her lust for power. Crowley eventually fathered a son.

Crowley at some point sold his soul to a demon in exchange for his greatest desire. In his case it was a larger penis. Per the terms of his contract, when he died he was dragged to the demon's home hell dimension by a hell hound, where he was tortured for an unknown length of time. Eventually, he gave into his darkness and began torturing other souls. He became a demon when the darkness took him over entirely. Over the centuries Crowley amassed a great deal of knowledge about the supernatural world, even to the extent of learning Enochian, and thus obtaining knowledge enough to ward against, or even banish lesser Outsiders through the use of Enochian symbols.

Crowley is currently setting his sights even higher, he seeks power for the sake of power, and even his current position is not enough. Where other demons are content to revel in debauchery, Crowley is far more pragmatic, he will keep climbing until he is at the top. He sees the value in humanity to aid him in his quest for power; as such he no longer harbors ill-will toward Humans and other species, but his aid is not free. Unless his own safety is at stake, his aid comes at a price.
