Crowley

**Crowley** was an ambitious, duplicitous and powerful crossroads demon, who sought always to improve his own station in Hell.

## History

### Human Life

**Fergus MacLeod** was born around 1661 CE to the witch Rowena MacLeod, though he did not inherit her interest or talent in witchcraft or magic. He never knew his father. Rowena was an abusive mother, leaving Fergus with no fond memories of his childhood. When he was 8 years old, Rowena abandoned him to save her own life from trouble of her own making.

Fergus grew up to be an unsuccessful tailor who drank heavily. He had one son, Gavin MacLeod, who he abused as well -- starving him, working him to the bone, refusing to allow him to receive an education, and beating him regularly. At the age of 53, Fergus sold his soul to a demon for his penis to gain an additional three inches. Ten years later, in 1723 CE, Fergus died. Gavin buried him in and immediately set sail for America.

Meanwhile, per his deal, Fergus' soul descended to Hell.

### Demon Life

Fergus' soul was tortured until it became twisted into a demon. Taking the name Crowley, he became a crossroads demon. He was so successful at this that he rose to become the King of the Crossroads, a position which gained him much attention from the demon Lilith who eventually made him her second-in-command in her quest to release Lucifer from his Cage and set loose the Apocalypse.
