CHARACTER
NAME: Anthony J. Crowley (formerly Crawly)
FANDOM: Good Omens
TIMELINE PERIOD: Post-Semi-Apocalypse
Known at first as Crawly, he was the snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the apple, forcing them out of Eden. But soon after he changed the name, deciding that "it just wasn't him." From that point on, he worked more or less as an agent of Hell on earth, disguised often as a yuppie. There he took a more modernist point of view on evil, having had years of experience learning that it was far more useful to let humans do things to each other than trying and tinkering with them. With a sort of mass-evil mentality, he prides himself on his worst deeds-- Welsh Language Television, game shows, value-added tax, Manchester and the M25 London Orbital Motorway.

Crowley is a demon who did not mean to fall, and even then, just "vaguely sauntered downwards." Still, he feels far closer because of this to his immediate opponent Aziraphale, an angel, than to the other demons or any of Hell. Both of them prefer Earth itself to the presence of their distant superiors, and Crowley would probably agree with the fact as long as one did not take into account the 16th century.

Though he helped precipitate the Semi-Apocalypse as he had no other choice, working for the Devil, he hardly approved of the idea, seeing as though he rather liked life under the guise of being a human. He keeps his wings hidden, hides his slitted, yellow eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses, enjoys his human form, loves to sleep and tend to his plants in the London flat he's rarely in, and listen to nothing but Queen in his treasured black 1926 Bentley that he only gassed up once in 1967 and then simply because he rather fancied the free James Bond bullet-hole-in-the-window transfers.

The last time we saw Crowley he was treating Aziraphale to some lunch at the Ritz after they managed to stop the Apocalypse together, and has since only been seen... in a disturbingly human form, on a boat set towards Rivelata.
