Crowley Eusford

Appearance: He is a tall and muscular vampire with broad shoulders. Crowley has red bangs and thick eyebrows, while the rest of his hair is dark brown. It stands to reason that some sections of his hair may have been dyed. At the top, and back of his hair it is the same length, however a long section is kept in a braid that can come over his shoulder on the left side of his neck. A hair tie is at the end of the braid. A single piercing is in each of his vampire pointed ears. Where they were blue, now Crowley has the signature red eyes that all vampires possess. Additionally, Crowley's physical vampire traits include fangs. As a progenitor, Crowley does not wear the standard uniform for vampire soldiers. He wears a white army shirt which has a prominent rigid collar raised and folded around the sides and back of his neck. The top buttons are unbuttoned so as to display his chest. A black band is across Crowley's chest and seemingly fitted to his shoulder pauldrons, which seems to assist with keeping the cape in place. The shirt features eight large brass like buttons, four on each side, they are situated vertically down his abs in parallel lines. The buttons on his left may be decorative, where they are fastened on his right to hold the shirt together. The cape that extends from Crowley's shirt reaches down to the back of his legs. The same white color on the outside, the interior of the cape is purplish red, a sangria like color. There is a purposeful split in the lower section of the cape so as to avoid having the cloth tear in the event of strenuous movements. This lower cape is around white pants where the frontal view is not obstructed. He has a black belt with a chain on the right side and his scabbard on the left. Tall black boots are worn which reach up the his knees that the pants are presumably fitted into. The boots feature white heels and toe sections. A combined black sleeve and glove is worn over Crowley's right arm. The sleeve has two white ringed stripes at the end near his hand. This sleeve is fastened to the cape that covers Crowley's left shoulder, and reaches the back of his right shoulder via the band across his chest. The right shoulder pauldron has a different style to the left one, yet they share the same white feature in an overall decorative function. Similarly, Crowley's left glove is white, where the right one that is a part of the clothing's arm design is dark. Rather than used for armor, Crowley's overall attire visually represents that of what a crusader in the 13th century would wear.

Personality: Calm, he is laid-back. Crowley also cares deeply about his comrades. Training hard to protect them during the Crusades, he is also brave. After their commander perishes, Crowley leads the group due to his commander's final order. Crowley tends to smirk a lot. Despite his strength and capabilities, Crowley knows when to give up. He loses his human life trying to warn his former comrades to escape. Having the resolve to do so, Crowley fights against Ferid until he can no longer move. A sense of calmness is retained when Crowley becomes a vampire. Even compelling forces such as a vampire's naturally induced lust for blood is not shown. With a major invasion underway, Crowley calmly walked towards a vehicle coming his way. Undaunted by it speeding towards him, Crowley opted to seize, lift, then casually throw it towards his attackers. Indifferent to injuries to himself, Crowley effortlessly parries away ranged attacks. Unfazed at losing his sword, Crowley recovered quick from the surprise and was content to engage in conversation. Further major surprises such as the view of human experimentation do not rattle him. With an attack underway, Crowley it at ease in monitoring the scenario, and was composed in fending off direct attacks on himself. Unbothered to the point where he would let potentially useful hostages escape, Crowley still remains level-headed enough to stick with goals he suspects may be helpful. His bravery on show, Crowley is patient where it seems to be leisurely for him when fighting opponents. Even when Crowley is in a tight spot, he remains calm with a pleasant smile. Not very susceptible to fear, Crowley also confident enough in himself that he does not seem to mind recognizing his enemies' abilities while in the battlefield. As with Horn and Chess, he is almost always in the company of others, not particularly minding who it is, vampire or human. In comparison to other vampires, Crowley does appear to retain some level of his humanity. Seemingly looking down on his former pride as a crusader, Crowley's views of humans also apparently extend to resenting them for their evil. Clearly being uncomfortable when he speaks about his human life, Crowley expresses disgust when he refers to humans as having killed more than vampires. Despite having fed on humans remorselessly, Crowley has stated that he has never killed even a single human as a vampire. The implication is that while he drained them of a great deal of their blood he has not directly killed a human, yet his has little to say on the injuries he has inflicted on them.

History: thumb|left Crowley used to be a crusader in the 13th century and was considered to be a hero. He believes in God until the reality of war and unanswered prayers changed him. When his commander died, Crowley stopped praying to God. Even then, he still hopes for God to do something and even touches his commander's rosary until he became a vampire. He first encounters a tan dark-haired vampire during the Crusades. Although Ferid is also there, he is not spoken to until years later. Unknown to him, Crowley's existence had been watched out for by Ferid for approximately 150 years. Crowley was targeted to become a vampire because Ferid was waiting for someone with the Michaela trait. Driven to hate Ferid, after methods used such as killing everyone who was important to him, Crowley was to remember his face before being force fed a vial of Saitō's blood where he was turned into a vampire. When Crowley finally hunts Ferid down decades later, his human feelings have waned to the point where he does not recall why he wanted revenge on him. Consequently, instead of enacting vengeance, Crowley becomes Ferid's comrade. Later, Crowley says he joined Ferid Bathory's faction because he always makes things interesting. Coming to be situated in Japan and having kept up the pretence of being seen as a thirteenth progenitor vampire (when he was more akin to a seventh) Crowley would keep Ferid's long forming plan in mind. At some point he met Chess and Horn.

Natural abilities: As a vampire, Crowley is by nature physically much stronger, faster, and more durable than a human. Some characters described him as being a monster in terms of power. Although misdirection, being a Thirteenth Progenitor would indicate that Crowley is very strong even among vampires, and more powerful than lower ranking vampires. This becomes more the case where Crowley's true power was in fact comparable to a seventh progenitor, which gave Crowley the decisive edge against those who would not know this, namely many Moon Demon Company soldiers, and Fuola Honte. That Crowley is slow compared to a Fifth, and Third progenitor, does not stop him being a menace to vampires ranked lower than him, and certainly not to virtually every human he would come into contact with. As a noble, Crowley also has permission and the ability to turn someone into a vampire if he so chooses, which involves transferring his own blood to create a new being.

Equipment: He wields a first-class vampire sword. The dark colored sword handle is quite long, where it can be used one, or two-handedly. The weapon has a distinctive golden knuckle guard and quillon. The pommel is decoratively a tipped arrow shape. Such a weapon is able to produce spikes to stab through the palm of Crowley's hand using spikes. With blood drawn, the sword can absorb this from Crowley to further strengthen the weapon, where the blade is colored further by the blood. Able to physically affect its wielder, Crowley can benefit from enhanced physical prowess given by a sword that has drank his blood. Ranged emissions can be generated from the blade that are more than capable of slicing through objects.

Sanguinem: Sanguinem exists and is the third capital and third largest city of the vampire world. Located underneath the ruined city of Kyoto, it is home to prominent vampire nobles, such as Ferid Bathory and Krul Tepes. Sanguinem is a large city beneath Kyoto. It is extravagant with buildings in 18th-century design, churches and cathedrals, and elaborate archways. There are also European-style houses. The ground often consists of either tiles or stones. The city is set at one level, but many buildings have multiple stories. There are numerous large pipelines throughout the city. As the capital, Sanguinem is a center of politics in the vampire world. Important issues are discussed in the city, and it may serve as a meeting place for powerful nobles. It is not surprising that numerous vampires reside in this large city. Ferid Bathory lives in the city in his mansion, whilst Krul resides there as vampire Queen of Japan. Humans also live in the city, serving as livestocks for the vampires. Most of these humans are children, and many were brought here during the Apocalypse in 2012 like the children from the Hyakuya Orphanage. Some of these children were sent by Kureto Hīragi to act as his spies and gather information from the nobles. The vampires are not allowed to drink human blood directly from the livestock within the city. In the manga, the vampires remind the humans that they live at the mercy of the vampires, but they aren't violent toward them except during rare instances, such as when Ferid Bathory killed the Hyakuya orphans. The livestock are raised to believe the world above ground has been destroyed, so they have no reason to escape. Unlike in the vampire cities above ground, the livestock cannot come and go freely as long as they do not know the locations of the exits.

Nature: After a human ingests vampire blood, they lose their emotions until only the greatest components of their personalities remain in addition to their everlasting thirst for blood; Due to their loss of emotions and desires, many vampires try to make themselves interested in something in order to stave off their eternal boredom, but vampires concerned with anything other than blood are considered to be eccentric. Krul Tepes and Ferid Bathory are considered to be eccentric, and Mikaela Hyakuya even more so. Crowley Eusford is under the impression that vampires cannot form new connections, despite himself entertaining the idea of having friends after eight hundred years. Although they have no need to sleep, they are capable of doing so and may partake to take a break from eternity. They typically sleep between early morning and noon. It is unknown who started this, but many vampires sleep in coffins since they are comfortable to vampires and help hide them from sunlight. Anyone who wants to take a bath can do so although it is not necessary since metabolizing has stopped. Vampires typically band together out of their own self-interest and not out of affection or love for one another, and they have no qualms about killing their own allies once they lose their human feelings. They may choose to sire a human to keep as a companion to ward off the boredom of eternity; however, many show aversion to spreading their curse and may try to use another noble to turn the person they designate. Should they sire a vampire themselves, that vampire will always be much weaker than them in power. As hemovores, they can only ingest blood and nothing else, and the better the blood tastes, the stronger the urge is to drink that person to death. Additionally, human blood tastes best when that person is at the throes of death. At first, they may originally feel guilty about killing humans and drinking their blood, but they gradually come to consider them nothing but food after decades of feeding on them and watching the humans foolishly wage war with one another and repeat the same mistakes redundantly. There is an order to not drink the blood between vampires who share it, as in between sire and sired vampires yet it seems immoral pleasure can be gained. They can generally resist their thirst for blood for only three days at most before losing control, and consider biting and drinking a human dry to be the greatest pleasure. Vampires can also enjoy drinking vampire blood, but the details and limitations of this have yet to be revealed as the only example is Mika, who lived off of Krul Tepes's blood for four years before it is no longer effective at quenching his thirst. A vampire who starves does not die but rather becomes a demon, death by suicide will have the same result.[3] A vampire may also become a demon if their heart is removed from their body and can be prevented by returning the heart to the vampires' chest. Cutting off a vampire's head using normal weaponry will not kill a vampire, although it will render the vampire unable to use his or her body. When a vampire is killed, their bodies become ash as they disintegrate. Vampires can retain complexes, such as feeling short statured, if it is a strong emotion left from being human. With humanity lost more and more the complex can be the basis of their identity.

Social class: Progenitors: (太祖 人祖 始祖 Taiso Hitoso Shiso?, lit. "Great Ancestral Progenitors") are royalties among the vampires. All progenitors are nobles, and a human turned into a vampire by a progenitor becomes a noble. Nobles are far stronger than the average vampire and wield superior weapons. There are twenty ranks for progenitors. The progenitors with the lowest number have the highest rankings. By default, they are extremely powerful and higher ranks even more so. However, progenitors of the same rank are not necessarily equal in power. Sixth Progenitors and above have been sired by the First Progenitor and have the right to attend meetings of the Progenitor Council. It is likely that all vampire monarchs are progenitors of an esteemed lineage.

Common Vampire: tend to be weaker than the higher classes but remain stronger than humans. A common vampire with greater battle prowess has influence similar to a lower-ranked noble.

Laws: Vampires are forbidden from any meddling with the Seraph of the End. Violation will result in imprisonment for all eternity. Prior to the Apocalypse, vampires were forbidden from meddling with human affairs. This law was overturned once the human population became threatened, and vampires rose up to save their food supply. In Sanguinem, vampires are forbidden from drinking blood directly from a human. They may only drink blood directly while on the surface or on the battlefield. This is because more vampires tend to drink their prey dry than not. However, laws are determined by the vampire rulers of each city and may vary even within the same country. Drinking blood from another vampire is taboo but grants immoral pleasure. Only nobles are permitted to turn a human into a vampire. According to Ferid, vampires are not allowed to use another vampire's blood to turn a human into a vampire. If they do so, both the sire and the young vampire will be subjected to imprisonment for all eternity.

Progenitor council: The Progenitor Council is a group of high ranking noble vampires in Seraph of the End from rank first to sixth that are tasked in monitoring the lower rank vampires and it is only these vampires that are able to attend the Council. The Council is led by Urd Geales, a second and the current strongest progenitor. There are a total of nineteen vampires (excluding the First Progenitor Sika Madu, former Second Progenitor Saitō, and the former Third Progenitors Noya Hienma and Ashera Tepes

Progenitor council goals: The Progenitor Council's goal is to annihilate the Japanese Imperial Demon Army and to destroy any organization that conducts Human Experimentation. They conduct meetings every once in a while, to discuss and decide on important issues like the Human Experimentation or Demon Army issues. The meeting can also be conducted in emergencies, as Ferid Bathory, a low-ranking vampire, conducted the meeting when the humans invaded Sanguinem. The council meetings are held in vampire Progenitors own castles where they contact each other through a video call. The Progenitors only meet in person if they are punishing vampires or dealing with an important matter. In Krul's location there are at least fourteen screens, two screens shared a design with five X like designs. One of them had an X symbol within the centre. A different design had the letters resembling JD within them. a male sounding voice asks what that thing was when Yu is seen transforming at the battle of Shinjuku. Another states this could be disastrous for them at seeing the destruction wrought on buildings. A member says queen Krul put an end to the human’s experiments when she exterminated the Hyakuya Sect. Towards the end of the meeting one member asks Ferid who is the young boy standing behind him.

Punishment: The most severe punishment for a vampire is imprisonment deep underground for all eternity. Since a vampire's brain will continue to regenerate, the prisoner will forever long for blood without any way to fulfill that desire and any ability to die. Another severe punishment for a powerful vampire is torture by exposure. By exposing the vampire to direct sunlight without a UV-protective armband, the vampire will burst into flames and scream in agony continuously for the duration of their sentence.

Blood thirst: Krul Tepes has stated that Mika will become a senseless, raving demon if he does not drink blood, and Ferid Bathory tells him the same thing. Newly-turned vampires may be able to survive off of the blood of the one who sired them, but this will only work for a limited period of time.

Sunlight/UV exposure: Sunlight Exposure to UV light will create a toxin in their bodies, and vampires must wear protective gear to neutralize this effect. Otherwise, they will burst into flame. Even with the protective gear, they disdain the sunlight, but they can tolerate it, as shown with Krul Tepes. Daytime: Without protective gear, vampires are too tired to function during the day time, as shown by Ferid Bathory during his time with Crowley in the 13th century.

Head destroyed: They can be killed if their heads are destroyed. One bullet will not do the job. Cursed Gear/Enchanted Gear: Cursed gear and enchanted gear used by the Japanese Imperial Demon Army limit their healing capabilities in some injuries. However, any mortal injuries and wounds caused by cursed gear and enchanted gear causes the vampire to disintegrate leaving only torn parts of their clothes behind. However, any near death effects caused by cursed gear and enchanted gear can be prevented by curse detoxification.

Sorcery: As shown numerous times and confirmed and noted by Saitō, vampires, due to their a tendency to look down on humans, have developed also developed the tendency to dismiss and ignore their sorcery and magics, causing them to become vulnerable to them. This was notably seen where Saito was able to ensnare both Ky Luc and Lest Karr, a fifth and third progenitor respectively, in a highly realistic illusion spell and caused the duo think that they had truly fought and defeated him. Removing the heart: Removing their heart will weaken them and begin to turn them into a demon, unless the heart is returned. Blood drainage from another vampire (unknown/possibly): Implied by Ferid, if he drank any more of Krul Tepes' blood, she might die. Though, it's currently unknown whether this is true or not that a vampire will die if a great deal of their blood was drained by another vampire.

Massive blood loss: If they are injured to the point that they lose a massive amount of blood, they eventually "die" and become a demon. Japanese Imperial Demon Army: The Japanese Imperial Demon Army, (abbreviated as JIDA) is a military group under the Order of the Imperial Demons. They deal with supernatural tasks in Japan and are comprised of many elite units. It was lead by General Tenri Hīragi before he was killed by his son, Lieutenant General Kureto Hīragi, who becomes its new leader soon after. After the apocalypse, the JIDA comes into great power and establishes human cities in Shibuya and Shinjuku where they wage war against the vampires.

Cursed gears: Cursed gears are weapons used by the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. Despite having immense power, Cursed Gears also carry a great risk as well since there is a high chance that whomever uses one will either be possessed by the Demon inside at best, or becoming a Namanari at worst; should this occur, the Japanese Imperial Demon Army's standard routine is to kill the rampaging user immediately.

History of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army: The Japanese Imperial Demon Army was formed from the Order of the Imperial Demons in response to the decline of the human population and the threats of both demons and vampires. Though there are also other magical organizations around the world, it is the JIDA that stands out as the most effective human organization that can survive and fend off vampires and demons.
