CROWLEY

Anthony J. Crowley is a demon and one of the main characters in Amazon series Good Omens. He was the snake that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, and thus his human form also has snake eyes, which he usually covers with designer sunglasses.

He is Aziraphale's best friend and life partner. In Season 2, Crowley admits he has romantic feelings for Aziraphale.

He has a flat in Mayfair, London, which he does not consider a home, but simply a place he returns to when he's in town and is only filled with a Stereo System without speakers, an alphabetically arranged collection of what he refers to as "Real" Soul music, which does not include James Brown, a copy of "The Extremely Big Book Of Astronomy", a table, a huge throne, a statue of an angel and a demon "fighting", a flat screen TV, an original sketch of Da Vinci's painting "Mona Lisa", which hides a safe containing gloves, tongs and a bottle of holy water, which was given to him by Aziraphale and, last but definitely not least, the only thing he devotes any real attention to: a room filled with London's most luxurious, verdant and beautiful, as well as terrified plants.

Background

Not much is known about Crowley before he Fell, though he does make a few references to his time as an angel. Crowley states he didn’t so much as Fall as “saunter vaguely downwards” and that he didn’t mean to Fall; he just “hung out with the wrong people”. It’s also implied that he joined Lucifer’s Rebellion because he was bored or Fell because he asked too many questions about the Great Plan. He has been on Earth for at least 6,000 years. It is also implied he may have had a high ranking when he was an Angel as he was able to access Gabriel’s files in Heaven, which Muriel said could only be done by “a Throne, a Dominion, or higher”. (He most likely was a Dominion because they traditionally rule stars and other celestial objects and Crowley is seen creating a nebula in season 2 (this is in no way confirmed)

Furfur also mentions that they were in the same legion just before the Fall and did Battle on the Plains of Heaven.

During the formation of the universe, before Earth was created, Crowley designed a nebula cluster. It was during this time that he first met Aziraphale, though he did not introduce himself by name. Crowley was very happy at this point, showing a great sense of love and pride for his design, and was heartbroken when he learned it would only be used as a “wallpaper” for Earth. He began questioning God’s decision to end the universe after only 6,000 years, feeling like it was a waste of his efforts. It was this line of questioning that would lead to his eventual Fall. He also shielded Aziraphale with his wing when thousands of falling stars (presumably falling angels) started crashing down around them.

After his Fall, Crowley moved to Earth under the guise of working to bring about Armageddon. In reality, it was largely because he liked it there and wanted to escape Hell's toxicity. He and Aziraphale crossed paths and interacted many times over all of history, shown in flashbacks, prior to the present day. Neil Gaiman confirmed on Twitter that at the time of the crucifixion flashback, Crowley was using she/her pronouns.

In his attempts to keep up appearances for Hell, he aided in the design of the M25 so it would be in the shape of the demonic sigil odegra, causing a circle of low-level evil to be produced around London by the motorists, and making it incredibly frustrating to drive on. Odegra means “Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds” in the language of the Black Priesthood of Ancient Mu. The design earned him a commendation. Besides purposeful efforts, he also took credit, often accidentally, for many events caused by humans (such as the Spanish Inquisition). He remarks that no sin any demon could devise could possibly outcompete the ones humans think of themselves.

Personality

Crowley is overall a non-threatening demon. He somewhat attempts to be evil in his own way, but is actually quite morally decent in human terms. He objects to the killing of innocent people and animals and wants to save the world, albeit for his own reasons. He has a flair for the dramatic and can be a heavy drinker. He seems to not take his job seriously and doesn't really partake in "normal demon" things. Most of his "accomplishments" were faked or done by humans, whom he considers are better at making their own lives miserable than he is. He thinks of himself as evil, but is usually a minor inconvenience at worst. He also has a soft spot for Aziraphale, thinking of him as his best friend and more and typically going out of his way to save or help him. He later recognised that he had romantic feelings towards Aziraphale and confessed to him. However he was rejected when Aziraphale chose to return to Heaven.

Crowley rarely thinks things through, as many of his own plans end up backfiring on him. He is sarcastic but overall rather friendly and lovable, especially compared to other demons. Crowley is also curious by nature, and his tendency to ask too many questions caused him to Fall. Unlike other demons, Crowley has an imagination - something that helps him in various situations, such as keeping himself and the Bentley together while driving through the burning M25 to reach Tadfield airbase. Appearance Crowley usually presents himself in a male form and generally uses He/Him pronouns. He has red hair and often changes his hairstyle every few decades. He has a black snake mark on the right side of his face next to his ear. He usually wears black and dark colours. He has yellow eyes with slit pupils like a snake that can change from just his irises being yellow to his entire sclera - this seems to be affected by his mood at the time. Crowley started wearing sunglasses to hide them from humans sometime after Noah’s Ark. He also has black wings but keeps them hidden most of the time.

As an Angel he had brown eyes without the slit pupils and white wings. He also wore white robes with a gold collar. When he disguised himself as an Angel to sneak into Heaven with Muriel, his snake mark changed from black to gold. He also wore a silver and white suit with a gold tie. He also used a headband to push his hair back.

He can also transform into snake both completely and partially. As a snake he has fully yellow eyes, black body scales and a red underbelly. He can also partially summon his snake features such as his forked tongue. He also made his entire head like a snake to scare one of the people paintballing.

Sometimes Crowley presents as female with She/Her pronouns such as when she was disguised as Nanny Ashtoreth. She wore a dress suit with heels and a small hat. She also stuck to her usual black colour palette.

Powers and Abilities

• Time Manipulation Crowley has the ability to freeze humans in place and was able to freeze time when Satan broke through the Earth so that he and Aziraphale could talk to Adam.

• Shapeshifting Crowley can shapeshift into a giant black and red snake or summon some of his snakelike features when he is in “human” form. He can also alter his clothing such as when he made himself look like an Angel when he infiltrated Heaven. He and Aziraphale also swapped appearances in order to trick Heaven and Hell and survive their respective executions. He also shrank to an incredibly small size and grew into a giant when he was drunk of laudanum. He can also influence the appearance of others such as Job’s goats which he turned into crows and Job’s children when he turned them into lizards.

• Telekinesis Crowley can move objects with a click of his fingers and change traffic lights from red to green as he’s driving through them, and unlock doors among other abilities.

• Weather Manipulation He was able to summon a rainstorm in his attempts to push Maggie and Nina closer together. When he was angry at Gabriel’s presence in the bookshop he also blasted himself with lightning.

• Near-Invulnerability Crowley is generally immune to anything that would kill most humans. He can still be killed by Holy Water or inconveniently discorporated if his body is destroyed. He survived being blasted by lightning, sitting in his burning Bentley for several hours on the drive to Tadfield, and drinking a large amount of laudanum.

• Technokinesis Crowley can influence electronics such as speaking through his Bentley’s car radio and changing traffic lights.

• Pyrokinesis Crowley summoned fireballs to blast Job’s goats in 2500 BC and set Job’s house on fire.

• Polyglot Crowley can speak every language.

Relationships

• Aziraphale Crowley’s best friend, life partner and love interest. He and Aziraphale met prior to his Fall when he was creating a new nebula system but they didn’t properly get to know one another until after he had become a Demon. They have known each other for 6000 years on Earth meeting properly at the Garden of Eden. After constantly bumping into one another for several centuries, they eventually formed an “Arrangement” where if they both needed to go somewhere only one of them would go. Crowley has a soft spot for Aziraphale convincing him to try human food, using miracles so that Hamlet would be successful after Aziraphale liked it so much, rescuing him from discorporation at the hands of the French Revolution and Nazi spies (even though it meant he had to step on consecrated ground that was extremely uncomfortable for him), assisting him with his magic act at the West End and regularly having food and drinks with him. They kept up a steady friendship for six millennia although they often pretended that they weren’t actually friends. He is also protective of Aziraphale immediately rushing to his rescue on several occasions, and angrily confronting an amnesiac Gabriel about the latter trying to kill his best friend. At some point, Crowley developed romantic feelings towards Aziraphale which he realised after speaking to Nina. After the Gabriel situation was finally resolved, Crowley admitted his feelings to Aziraphale and kissed him. However Aziraphale had agreed to go back to Heaven and left Earth (and Crowley).

AZIRAPHALE

Aziraphale is one of the main characters in Amazon series Good Omens. He is an angel who doubles as a rare book dealer. He is Crowley's best friend and life partner.

---

Background

Aziraphale seeks to prevent the apocalypse because he has grown to like humans and enjoy his life on Earth. There are restaurants on here, for a start. Furthermore, he does not find the idea of listening to The Sound of Music for eternity very appealing. He is Crowley’s best friend and soulmate (platonic and/or romantic).

He briefly met Crowley when he was still an angel twice. The first time was when Crowley asked him for help in starting up a new nebula he had been working on. Aziraphale then explained that the universe would only be around for 6000 years and the nebula was too far away from Earth.

The second time was during The Great War. Aziraphale was considered a great general by the other archangels for his part in protecting the Eternal Flame from rebel angels. He was threatened by an injured Crowley into handing over his weapon. After seeing the wound on Crowley’s leg, he tied a bandage to it and then left.

Aziraphale found his bookshop in 1800 due to his love for books. All of his books are signed first editions. Although his shop is officially a bookshop, he doesn't actually like to sell any of his books. He has many ways to keep people from buying his books, for example having impossible opening hours no one can follow or making the shop as unpleasant as he can. To the people in Soho, he calls himself Mr. Fell.

The bookshop is a charming and quaint establishment. The architecture is old-fashioned with many historic and antique artifacts and furniture between all the books. There is a black spiral staircase that leads to another floor with a lot more books. Somewhere up there is also a room with a bed and orange walls which Jim used in season 2.

Although it looks like a normal bookshop at first glance, there are more things to it. The round, threadbare carpet hides a circle of protection, something Aziraphale uses to summon the Metatron in season 1 and protect Maggie, Nina, and himself by putting a spell on the circle and discorporating the attacking demons.

As of now, the bookshop belongs to Muriel since the Metatron entrusted it to them after Aziraphale left.

Personality

Aziraphale is generally very bubbly and cheerful and keen to do the right thing. He can become a bit anxious if he has to do something that isn’t 100% good such, as lying. He also tried to wave responsibility for certain tasks over to Crowley since he is meant to be the “nice one” out of the two of them. He fretted slightly about giving away his flaming sword to Adam when he and Eve were banished from Eden.

He has a fondness for human food which is considered weird by other angels since they don’t have the need to eat anything. He is also very protective of his books using his bookshop as a means to store them rather than actually selling any.

He has a soft spot for Crowley - his best friend and life partner. The two have been friends for around 6000 years although Aziraphale sometimes denies it. Although it’s clear that he seems to want to join Crowley in a more separate way from Heaven, he has a strong attachment that causes him to reject Crowley’s invitation to run away with him - twice.

Aziraphale also has difficulty recognizing gray morality compared to Crowley. He automatically assumes that Heaven are the good guys and Hell are the bad guys, often using this to try to justify some of Heaven’s more unpleasant actions. In the Victorian era, he was initially unable to see how Elspeth’s moral choices to survive in poverty were different to someone in a rich situation. Later he was able to see some of the gray morality in the situation. However, he still struggled to recognize Heaven’s actions as bad, unwilling to see them as “toxic” as Crowley stated, and eventually rejoined them.

Abilities:

Aziraphale is a Principality and celestial bureaucrat in Good Omens. While he rarely fights, preferring a quiet life in his London bookshop, he possesses massive cosmic abilities. He bends reality via "miracles," shape-shifts, and manipulates matter, though he is often reluctant to use these powers to their full extent.His primary powers and abilities include:

Miracles Reality Warping: Like demons, angels can manipulate reality and time, which they refer to as "miracles". Aziraphale uses these to:

• Alter Matter: Instantly change the color of Crowley’s car, refill empty wine glasses, or generate vintage clothing out of thin air.
• Protect & Heal: Prevent a bomb from destroying him and Crowley's bookshop simultaneously, and heal humans (like Anathema Device) after accidents.
• Technological Control: Enter and manipulate television screens, phone networks, and the data of earthly agencies.
• Intervention: The rules of reality bend to his intent, allowing him to pull off narrow, "miraculous" escapes.

Celestial Physiology As an immaterial spiritual being, Aziraphale doesn't have a biological body in the traditional sense, but uses a physical shell to interact with Earth. His traits include:

• Immortality & Regeneration: He does not age and can regenerate if his physical form is completely destroyed (discorporated).
• Shapeshifting: He can change his appearance and size at will.
• Flight: He can manifest his magnificent, pure white wings to fly at incredible speeds.
• Possession: In an emergency (such as being accidentally exorcised), he can share a mortal’s body, allowing them to speak while he uses their vessel to travel.
• Celestial Lore & Divination: Being an angel, he is deeply knowledgeable about the design of the universe and can perfectly decipher complex prophecies (like those of Agnes Nutter).
