The series "Supernatural". Demon Crowley: description, description and interesting facts

Almost every film or series has positive and negative characters. However, not all of them are endowed with a certain charisma that the demon Crowley of the popular American mystical TV series Supernatural. And although originally the authors of the project King Ada was conceived as a secondary character, he liked the viewers so much that he decided to leave it and include it in the main storyline. So who is this colorful hero? What is it remarkable about? And why does not it cause negative, like other demons?

Sketches of Crowley's portrait: a characteristic

So, get acquainted, Crowley is a demon with an attractive appearance and a wayward character. Has a great sense of humor, and also skillfully uses sarcasm. He loves luxury, beautiful women, good alcohol and gambling. He never does anything just like that.

In his own words, any actions should take place with an exceptional benefit for themselves. Therefore, he rarely compromises and prefers to keep several trump cards in his sleeve.

The demon Crowley, played by the unrivaled Mark Sheppard, simply loves to achieve the set goals. And he does it at any cost, often using very sophisticated torture.

Occupation in the hierarchy of demons

Initially, Crowley holds the post of an ordinary crossroads demon. Recall that his job was to search for desperate people and push them to sign a contract. Moreover, the entire procedure for concluding the transaction took place at a crossroads, and also provided for the signing of a magical document by the client's blood and the voluntary sale of his soul in exchange for any benefits.

A little later Crowley (the crossroads demon was promoted) became Lilith's right hand. It was she who was the first supernatural creation of the night, which Lucifer created immediately after his expulsion from heaven.

Even later, Crowley goes to hell and becomes his king. In this position, he quickly develops and develops his own rules, struggling with conspiracies and intrigues of wards, and also increasing the number of sold human souls.

First mention of the character

For the first time, Crowley's demon is described by a certain Beka Rosen (according to the script, she is an ardent fan of a series of books of the same name about the adventures of the Winchester brothers) in season 5 of the series "Supernatural." At the request of the prophet, she tells the main positive characters to Sam and Dean about the fate of the Colt they are looking for. According to her, instead of the demon Lilith, who was already known to us, the cunning weapon against evil forces was transferred to Crowley.

Relationship between the demon and Lucifer

Despite the fact that Crowley is a demon ("Supernatural" - one of the series that raises the theme of otherworldly forces), he does not lack the manifestation of some human qualities. For example, we are talking about some kind of rivalry and jealousy for the more successful fallen angel Lucifer, with whom they periodically fight for the power and office of the King of Hell.

In one season, Crowley helps to defeat Lucifer and imprison him in a cage. Later, he will be cruelly deceived and humiliated by him, because of what he is forced to flee, leaving the crown and leaving the kingdom of hell.

Lucifer, in turn, could long ago get rid of his eternal opponent. However, he plays with him and mocks. But the demon Crowley does not drop his hands and periodically nurtures long-playing plans for seizing power.

Mutual cooperation with the Winchester brothers

Hate to his opponent leads our negative character to an unusual collaboration with Winchester hunters, whose task is to destroy all possible undead and save humanity from the next Armageddon. Serving the brothers, he helps get rid of Lucifer and again returns power to his hands.

However, this is just one example of a partnership between King of Hell and monster hunters. Periodically, their destinies intertwine. And despite the perfect opposite of the parties, the Winchesters and Crowley often help each other out. For example, they repeatedly deduce the demon from depression, contributing to the fight against drug dependence on human blood. He also helps brothers to get rid of leviathans and the ruthless Knight of Hell Abbadon.

It was not without negative moments, as Crowley did - the creation of evil. Therefore, periodically he surreptitiously harms his allies. For example, it assists Dean in the search for the First Blade (with his help Cain killed Abel). However, during his use (the fight with Abbadon) and because of his own selfish motives, he turns one of the brothers into a demon. Yes, and the Winchesters often lure Crowley into diabolical traps, kidnap and carry in the trunk, around the finger.

But in general, the hunters and the King of Hell can peacefully exist, periodically clashing in small battles. He tenderly calls them "boys" and sometimes calls to just talk about life.

Prototype of the demon Crowley

It is believed that our negative character became the prototype of one of the English poets born in 1875, who was a Kabbalist, Occultist and Tarot. His name is Aleister Crowley. The demon in this case derived from him interest in the otherworldly forces and a penchant for black magic (after all, his mother was a powerful witch).

By the way, in the series "Supernatural" there is another demon, but already bearing the name Alistair. According to the plot in one of the seasons, he was the chief infernal hangman, specialized in horrific tortures of people and supernatural beings. He was very cruel and cunning.

Interesting facts about the demon Crowley

Crowley is a demon appearing as a reddish cloud of smoke. By itself in this state, it can not exist. Therefore, I have to look for a vessel - a human shell capable of withstanding a demonic entity. Speaking of the carrier he chose, during his lifetime he was Fergus Roderick MacLeod, born in Scotland in 1661.

This person, as the demon himself says in one of the series, was a very weak and pitiful creature. As a child he was abandoned by his mother - the witch of Rowena. He was not satisfied with the average family, a naughty child and a small salary. Later, Fergus turned to the demon of the crossroads and concluded a deal in order to dilute his boring life with more vivid moments.

What abilities does the demon have?

Based on his demonic nature, Crowley has the following abilities:

• The gift of immortality;
• Invulnerability to the ordinary human instrument;
• Teleportation;
• The gift of healing and resurrection from the dead;
• Telepathy.

In addition, he is able to distort reality as he needs. This demon is also able to infiltrate into other people if necessary.

What phrases of the character became winged?

Despite the fact that this is a negative hero (Crowley is a demon), character quotes diverge between fans of the series as hot pies. And although they are vulgar in places and not without sarcasm, they are often pronounced on the case and in a timely manner. For example, what just stands his phrase, uttered by him after a long journey in the trunk of a Winchester car.

Quotes in which the demon describes his attitude to angels, hunters, reapers and ordinary people look interesting. Almost all of them have become winged and are happily used by fans of the television series "Supernatural".
