Crowley

Mister Crowley is a ghoul resident of the Underworld in Fallout 3.

Background
Mister Crowley is as bitter a Ghoul as you’ll find. He was transformed 10 years ago, due to an extreme exposure of radiation that should have killed him. He once lived at Rivet City, but the bias and hatred he experienced there forced him to move on. Crowley discovered Underworld and has taken up permanent residence, but remains resentful of the harsh treatment he received from humans. He spends most of his time in the Ninth Circle, drinking heavily.

Crowley and four other mercenaries - Dave, Jeff Strayer, Dukov, and Tara - were sent to Fort Constantine by Allistair Tenpenny to retrieve a rare weapon. During the mission, Crowley was locked in a room full of feral ghouls by Dukov, who wanted to increase his own share of the pay. Crowley survived the imprisonment and harbors resentment toward those who left him behind. <!-- Ted Strayer's dialogue

What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Do you know a Mister Crowley? Whoa! That's a blast from the past. My dad knew a dude named Crowley. I never met him though. I think Dad said he died when they were checking out some old fort.

Do you know what they were doing at the fort? Nah. He said that old man Tenpenny hired him and some other guys to go in there, but he never said why. My dad made enough caps off it to set him up good though.

Dave's dialogue (Fallout 3) What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Mister President, do you know a Ghoul named Mister Crowley? There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Before the people elected me President, I worked with a mercenary named Mister Crowley. We were part of an expedition to Fort Constantine.

Mister Crowley is alive. He sent me to kill you because you hate Ghouls. Me? Hate Ghouls? Preposterous. Wait. You said you're here to kill me? I'm going to have to recind your diplomatic immunity. Then I'm going to execute you. Wait. I've changed my mind. You have one hour to leave the Republic. Then I'll execute you.

What happened in the Fort, Mister President? Two of us died, including Crowley. The rest achieved the mission goals and were paid.

How did Mister Crowley die, Mister President? When the Feral Ghouls killed Tara, Dukov realized that he would get more of the commission. He decided to kill off the rest of us too. He locked Crowley into a room with Feral Ghouls, and that was the last we saw of him. Strayer and I didn't trust Dukov after that. The three of us finished the mission together, but with guns drawn.

Crowley is alive, Mister President. I'm supposed to bring him the key. Alive? I always wondered. He was locked in with a bunch of Feral Ghouls. They won't attack Ghouls, you see. The key is part of the Republic of Dave treasury. I couldn't possibly part with it.

Crowley is alive, Mr. President. I'm supposed to bring back proof of your death. Alive? I always wondered. He was locked in with a bunch of Feral Ghouls. They won't attack Ghouls, you see. Would you consider taking him a personal item, like this key, and just telling him you killed me?

SpeechChallengeFailure Mister Crowley was a mercenary I worked with a long time ago.

Dukov' dialogue Crowley is alive, and he paid me to kill you because you hate Ghouls. What? Fuck me sideways! No, better yet, fuck him. I swear, I'll jam a grenade so far up his ass... I've got nothing against Ghouls. Ha! I even had a Ghoul party girl once, to see what it was like! This is about the key, isn't it? The goddamn key. If you want it, I'd better see some fucking caps on the table, clown shoes.

What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Someone said you might know a Mister Crowley. Care to comment? He's fucking dead, that's what I can tell you. Someone said you might know a Mister Crowley. Care to comment? Feral Ghouls ripped his nuts off and ate them for dinner.

How did all of you meet? Tenpenny hired us as mercs. He wanted some fancy fucking gun.

How did all of you meet? Don't know how he got Crowley to sign on. Tenpenny fucking hates Ghouls.

Actually, Crowley is alive. He wants some sort of security key you have. So the meatbag is alive, huh? Fine with me. Just show me the money. Put your fucking caps on the table and you can have it. He wants some sort of security key you have.

He wants some sort of security key you have. Fine with me. Just show me the money. Put your fucking caps on the table and you can have it.

Actually, Crowley is alive. I'm supposed to kill you and bring him proof. So the meatbag is alive, huh? And I bet I know what he wants. But I don't know what you want. What's your angle, clown shoes?

Where did he die? A little shithole called Fort Constantine. It fucked us up but good.

So it was just you and Mister Crowley? Ha, ha! No, clown shoes. Tenpenny hired a whole fucking team. Strayer, Crowley, Tara, Dave and me. Tara had a pair on her! Sweet Jesus they were nice. Ha, ha! That place fucked her up more than I did. The rest of us went our separate ways after that.

Allistair Tenpenny's dialogue What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Do you remember a Mister Crowley? The Ghoul? He's dead. Died twenty years ago. Good riddance too. I hate those shufflers.

Mister Crowley is alive. I'm here to kill you because you hate Ghouls. He's alive? I should have known. It's hard to kill those zombies. You gotta shoot 'em in the head. Whatever he's paying you, I'll double it.

How did he die? Who cares? I hired some mercenaries to get me some equipment from Fort Constantine. He was one of them. Of the five, only three survived. You'll have to ask one of them if you want the gory details.

Carol's dialogue What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Do you know Mister Crowley? The back room renter? Oh, he's a swell guest. So polite too. Never gets mad at anyone. I've been letting that room to him for about a year now.

Tulip's dialogue What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Does Crowley come in here a lot? What's his angle? I'm not going to rat on a customer. Unless you... you know.

Come on. You can tell me. Ahzrukhal said so.  What... oh! A bribe. Why didn't you just say so. Here's 20 caps. Ooh, a big spender. Crowley has been outfitting himself for some big expedition. He's up to something, but he isn't saying what.

Ahzrukhal's dialogue What can you tell me about Mister Crowley? Does Crowley spend a lot of time in here? What's his angle? If I start telling tales about my customers, I'll lose all of them.

No one will ever know. Come on. Ah, what the hell. Crowley shows up here last year, he's a Ghoul just like the rest of us. Now, all of sudden he's looking for payback against Ghoul haters. Except, I've met Dukov. He never insulted a Ghoul in his life. Dukov's got the foulest mouth in the wasteland. He's a drunk and a womanizer, but he's no bigot. Go ask him yourself. -->

Daily schedule
Mister Crowley can usually be found in either The Ninth Circle or in his bed at Carol's Place in Underworld. He usually sleeps until 12pm.

Quests

 * You Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head: Mister Crowley gives you a list of four targets he wants dead.

Effects of player actions

 * If you keep the keys for yourself, you can go to Fort Constantine and take the T-51b Power-Armor. However, Mister Crowley won't be too happy with this. Accordingly, he will say only "You stole what was rightfully mine. Get lost." after your acquisition. He will also say the same line of dialog if the player has pickpocketed the keys from him after already given them to him.
 * If you hand him the keys and managed to obtain "his" power armor from Fort Constantine, he might show up later and attempt to kill you.
 * If you hand him the keys and later travel to Fort Constantine's Bomb Storage section (you'll have to pick a "very hard" lock to get in) he will be inside wearing the armor and thank you for the keys. You can kill him for no karma effect and take the T-51b Power-Armor.

Appearances
Crowley appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * Mr. Crowley is possibly named after Aleister Crowley, a famous British writer and occultist. (Aleister Crowley's first name is often misspelled Alistair or Allistair, as in Allistair Tenpenny, the arch-nemesis of Underworld's Mr. Crowley.)
 * The Fallout 3 Official Game Guide uses the lyrics to Ozzy Osbourne's song Mr Crowley in its walkthrough of You Gotta Shoot 'em in the Head.

Bugs

 * Crowley may fall 'through' the Potomac River Bridge about two-thirds of the way across, probably due to a glitch in the programming. Crowley will continue his journey after his fall.
 * Occasionally, Crowley will go into a bout of slow motion sprinting, running at nearly half speed but with full striding animation. He will resume normal movement upon his next combat encounter.
 * Crowley may deliver the "You stole what was rightfully mine!" line if the player acquires the winterized T-51b power armor Helmet from the Anchorage simulation.
 * With Broken Steel installed: After getting the T-51b power armor and T-51b power helmet from Fort Constantine by unlocking all the doors, then finishing the You Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head quest by giving Crowley the keys, and fast traveling back to snatch the armor before Crowley finds out, Crowley has been encountered still friendly in the Presidential Metro, just inside the doors from M.A.R.Go.T., during the Who Dares Wins quest.
 * Crowley may get stuck on his way to or from Fort Constantine.
 * Occasionally, Mr. Crowley will not appear in Underworld.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout 76.
