History

Perhaps this old man can be of some use.

—  Crowley
Anyway, now Crowley's eyes are irreparably damaged.

Crowley was a figure shrouded in mystery, known for his age and formidable power. Referred to as "great and ancient" in ancient texts, he was also credited as the discoverer of rune unites.

Throughout his life, Crowley pursued an ambitious goal—to attain power equal to or surpassing that of the 27 True Runes. To achieve this, he dedicated his days to extensive research and rigorous training in ordinary rune magic, honing his skills in pursuit of his aspirations. He claimed to have a staggering 100 runes embedded in his body, a feat that set him apart from ordinary rune users.

At a certain point in his life, Crowley took Mazus as his disciple, a noteworthy event given Mazus's own prowess in magic. The two would eventually have a falling out and engaged in an epic battle, with their magical prowess being so immense that it reportedly leveled three mountains and brought forth a week-long rain. Additionally, there are claims that Piccolo served as the third disciple under Crowley's tutelage.

During the Gate Rune War, Crowley was discovered conducting his research and training within the Cave of the Past at Qlon Temple. Despite expressing surprise at the discovery, he willingly joined the ranks of the Toran Liberation Army when asked, stating a desire to enjoy the sunshine.

While he undoubtedly contributed to the Liberation Army's cause, it is said that he only utilized a fraction of his immense power on the battlefield, leaving observers awestruck by the glimpse of his true capabilities. He would spend his time in Toran Castle's basement, preferring the darkness and perhaps musing on his magic research.

After the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Crowley returned to the seclusion of the caverns, showing a disinterest in world affairs. Mazus, who participated in the Dunan Unification War three years later, sought a duel with his former master, but whether the encounter took place remains unknown.
