At some point in his life, Crowley studied human and alien magic, and became an occultist, mystic, alchemist, writer, poet, painter, mountaineer, and ceremony magician. After his death, Crowley's soul went to Hell. Years later, John Constantine summoned Crowley's soul and trapped him on Earth[1] in a painting that Constantine stored in the attic of his house.[2]
Constantine kept one of Aleister's books about alien magic and Gary Green enjoyed reading it, taking it from the bookshelf in the house's library and holding it in his room.[1]
Manipulating Astra Logue[]
Astra and the Legends fight Crowley.
Now living in Constantine's house, Astra Logue was bored and went to the attic of the house and Crowley met her, promising that he would teach her spells if she helped him get out of the painting, to which Astra accepted. Crowley kept teaching Astra the possibilities of using the Permuto and they both dressed in fancy clothes for the occasion and he started teaching Astra more magic.
Constantine later appear and got upset with Astra for talking to Crowley. He stopped John and Astra's discussion to speak to Constantine alone. Crowley revealed to John to use Astra's powers to be able to reach the great Fountain of Imperium and obtain the most powerful magic, but Constantine did not believe that this fountain was real, and an angry Crowley took Constantine to the attic so that he would not interfere in his plans.
Crowley turns into a giant demon.
After locking up Constantine, Crowley went with Astra to create an amulet that will have all the magic possible and to finish it they should steal a soul, and Astra suggested using his racist neighbor Robert Truss. Since Astra still had a good heart, she tried to take Truss away, but Crowley interfered and stole Truss's soul, disappointing in Astra and Crowley became more powerful thanks to the amulet and no spell could harm him and with his powers he changed the reality into an animated reality.
Crowley about to lose his powers.
Crowley confronted Astra and the Legends, who became objects, but were no match for him and locked up the Legends planning to steal their souls. He was surprised by Astra, who chanted a spell to remove magic created by his mother, and Crowley was losing his powers so he confronted Astra and even Crowley turned into a giant demon to defeat her, but Crowley got tired and lost his powers returning to painting and everything returning to normality. He was locked by John back in the attic and Crowley still wanted to find the Fountain, but John refused to work with him.[2]
Helping Constantine[]
Since Crowley was the only person to know about the Fountain, Constantine visited him for help.[3] Crowley told John everything there was to know about the Fountain, and he would have to go a long way if he wanted to regain his magic, and explained to him about the map to get there. After returning to the house, Esperanza Cruz started pestering Crowley until John sent Esperanza upstairs. Noelle then came back and took the painting in exchange for giving Constantine a magic potion. After Noelle took the painting containing Crowley away, his current fate is left unknown as she said she was going to trade his soul.[4]
