Crowley: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

Clues to Crowley's age and power come from his statement of the amount of [[rune|runes]] embedded in his body. It is said he has 100 runes attached to his body. He is also referenced in texts as "great and ancient" as well as the discoverer of [[rune unites]]. The goal of his life is said to be to find a way to equal or surpass the power of the [[27 True Runes]] through skilled application of ordinary rune magic and he spends his days in research and training towards this goal.

At some point, he took [[Mazus]] as his disciple. It is said that the two once had a fierce battle during which they unleashed so much magical power that they leveled a mountain and made it rain a whole week. [[Piccolo]] claims to have been the third disciple of Crowley's.

Crowley was discovered training and researching in the [[Cave of the Past]] at [[Qlon Temple]], where he expressed surprise at being discovered. He agreed to be recruited by the [[Toran Liberation Army]], stating that he'd like to enjoy the sunshine. It is said that while he aided the Liberation Army, he only used a small fraction of his power doing so despite the prowess he displayed being the most powerful seen on the battlefield.

Following the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Crowley returned to the caverns, harbouring a distaste for world affairs.

Following the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Crowley returned to the caverns, harbouring a distaste for world affairs. Mazus who would participate three years later in the [[Dunan Unification War]] set out to duel his former master once again, but it's unknown if they actually met again.

~~It should be noted that [[~~Mazus~~]], a disciple of Crowley~~ who ~~fought~~ in the [[Dunan Unification War]] is his ~~fiercest rival. If the two were to meet~~, ~~who knows what kind of magic battle could unfold between them~~.

* All three of Crowley's weapons have a celestial quality in their naming: Comet Rod, Meteor Rod, Cosmo Rod.

*All three of Crowley's weapons have a celestial quality in their naming: Comet Rod, Meteor Rod, Cosmo Rod. The same is true for his disciple [[Mazus]].

* Crowley is named after the real-life British mystic, Aleister Crowley.

*Crowley is named after the real-life British mystic, Aleister Crowley.

*In [[Suikoden V]], the player can find an Old Book which is about [[rune unites]]. Its author claims he discovered hem during his research. If Crowley is indeed the discoverer of rune unites, he most likely is the author of the book. If that was true, then he did not know about the unite of [[Dawn Rune]] and [[Twilight Rune]]. Alternatively, the book could have been authored by someone else who discovered rune unites independantly from Crowly.

*If what [Piccolo]] says is true and he is Crowley's third disciple, then Crowly must have mentored at least one additional, yet unknown magician.
