History
John Crow was nobody... and he hated that. He hated being called bird, he hated being called worthless, he hated them all. On November 5th 1924, He robbed his first bank, yelling to all as he drove away with the money, "Those who aren't dead, you now know, always to fear, Johnathan Crow!" His crime streak started there, his robberies and homicides continued until August 7th 1937. Totalling in over 20 million dollars in cash and stolen goods, and 142 counts of homicide.
The Death of Johnathan Crow
On December 3rd 1937, Crow was finally caught in a setup by an undercover cop, he was sentenced to the Death Penalty that next summer, and was killed in a firing squad. Although his body was destroyed, his spirit remained in his blood stained suit, which connects him to this world. He roamed the halls of the Zig for over 70 years, until Arachnos destroyed the Zig and set him free. He fancies himself the name Death's Gamble.
A new body, A new life.
After leaving the Zig, Crow spent a whole year training his powers in Nether Energies, leading him to discover the spell to bring his body back from the twisting Nether.

Now with a normal human body, he has met a group of people he now calls his friends.

IC Comments
"I don't care what name he told you, he's fuckin' Jimmy 'The Banana' O'Hana. Can't say I enjoy the constant Johnny Depp referrences, but he's a fun guy to be around. Unfortunately, he's made Mal all carebear, so I have some slight resentment towards him now, but otherwise. . . I s'pose I consider him a friend." - Jack
"Ah..Old Man Crow? Yeah, he's a good guy. Funny, protective of his friends and usually up for a good time. I feel bad for him that his initial introduction to this whirlwind of a social circle was Sexyhat and Myself in the D, but he seems to be pretty well adjusted in spite of that... Heck, he even gets along with Jack." - Jo jo
"Honestly, he's a good guy. Could stand to relax a bit, but that's just my opinion. I guess so long as he treats Mal alright, I won't have to beat him up.. Hmm.." - Lia
