The CW’s cult show, Supernatural, has been around for 15 long years and has gained a large following over that span of time.

Over the years the show has given us innumerable characters but not all of them have been well received by the fans. Of those the fans absolutely adored, the sassy King of Hell, Crowley (Mark Sheppard), was one. Let’s see if we can find some little known details about this snarky demon who, sadly, bid the show goodbye a few seasons ago.

10 Crowley’s Past As A Human

Of all the angels and demons on the show, Crowley was one of the few whose past came up from time to time.

It appears that Crowley was once a human named Fergus Roderick McLeod, an alcoholic “two-bit” tailor living in Scotland sometime in the late 1600s, who had made a deal with a crossroads demon for “an extra three inches below the waist.” He was abandoned by his mother Rowena as a child and had a son called Gavin for whom he wasn’t exactly father of the year.

9 Crowley’s Vessel Was Into Publishing

Crowley’s primary vessel, the role played by actor Mark Sheppard, is said to have been a “moderately successful literary agent out of New York.”

It is likely that the vessel was dead when Crowley possessed it. Although he has briefly had other vessels, including female ones, the literary agent seems to be the one he preferred over any other, returning to it time and again.

8 Crowley & Rowena Love Their Tea

Crowley was shown to harbor a deep-seated hatred for his mother and the feeling was mutual until Rowena felt a twinge of regret after her son’s death.

However, the mother-son duo is, after all, bound by blood and would, in all likelihood, have discovered exactly how similar they were to each other had they spent some more time together. In the little time that they were under the same roof, they found that they both had the same taste in beverages. Crowley and Rowena both took their tea with honey and a splash of milk, although Crowley claimed he felt pukish at the revelation.

7 Crowley Had A Nazi Obsession

Aside from being a demon in a dapper suit with a twisted sense of humor, Crowley clearly has a thing for Hitler and the Nazis, which is, in and of itself, a problematic fascination for anyone, even demons, to have. In “The Man Who Would Be King,” the King of Hell (or, the King of Sass) and Castiel are seen in Hell, standing in front of a huge life-size portrait of Crowley in the typical Nazi SS uniform. The writers stay true to their sneaky sense of humor as they swap the swastika for a trident on the band on his arm.

That is not the only time Crowley seems to exhibit a deeply disturbing frame of mind, apart from the fact that he is a demon, that is. He watches Nazi documentaries presumably as a pastime, and even later, he takes in the young Amara, hoping to have her on his side, and has her go through Hitler’s Nuremberg rally speeches. It’s possible that the showrunners wanted to hint at the character’s natural inclination towards a dictatorial ideology. Who knows, maybe they would have cooked up some backstory involving Hitler and Crowley; however, all speculations were thrown to the wind when Crowley’s character underwent a sea change on the show before being eventually killed off.

6 Crowley’s Form Is Quite Unique

The smooth-talking demon is probably the only one whose true form is represented to the human eye as deep red smoke, unlike other demons, even powerful ones like Azazel and Lilith whose forms were depicted with black smoke.

Another curious thing is that Crowley’s true form matches his eyes which, although flashed only a handful of times, are also red. Yet, demons like Azazel, who had yellow eyes, and the white-eyed Lilith, had true forms that were not distinct from an ordinary demon’s.

5 Crowley Had A Hilarious Moment With Bobby

The snarky demon was a master of negotiations and managed to manipulate Bobby into giving his soul up. In return, Crowley said he could help the boys and Bobby find Death, the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse.

Matters took a hilarious, and rather embarrassing, turn when Crowley revealed a selfie he had taken of the kiss that had sealed the deal between him and Bobby. While two men kissing isn’t inherently embarrassing, Bobby may have felt embarrassed by the fact that he showed affection for an enemy. Crowley loved to humiliate people if he could and the picture of the two of them kissing probably also served as a reminder of what Bobby could lose if the boys didn’t hold up their end of the bargain.

4 Crowley & The Devil’s Number

Throughout its run, Supernatural has maintained the humor that has always been one of the show’s biggest qualities.

A minor but significant and definitely funny detail is revealed when in season 11, Crowley calls up Dean and his number shows up as 666. Now, needless to say, this number is usually connected to the Devil himself and it appears that Dean considers Crowley to be quite the Devil’s advocate, no pun intended, although to be fair he probably knows that the real deal is way worse.

3 Crowley Was The Only Demon Who Craved Humanity

In season 8’s “Sacrifice,” Sam injects Crowley with human blood, his own blood in fact, apparently in a bid to cure him of his demonic-ness, if you will.

Interestingly, this suave antagonist-turned-ally-of-sorts was the only entity, out of all the entities on the show really, to have undergone a drastic change of heart, beginning to binge on human blood after the episode with the injections and craving for human sentiments and emotions. Although long ago, Ruby had claimed that she remembered being human, that, of course, turned out to be an elaborate deception.

2 Crowley Collaborated With Billie

A detail that might easily have escaped notice is that Billie, the reaper, worked with Crowley, probably for a brief period of time with the intention of keeping Lucifer in his cage.

Billie was still a reaper then; she hadn’t yet died and become Death. And she was always shrewd to begin with, so it’s not particularly difficult to assume that she decided that working with Crowley wasn’t as bad as what could happen if Lucifer was to walk free.

1 Mark Sheppard Left The Show On Bad Terms

Actor Mark Sheppard imbued the character with charisma and the fans couldn’t get enough of Crowley for a long time.

However, after Rowena’s appearance on the show, Crowley’s character lost its swagger to a large degree and seemed to have lost direction for good measure. The actor left the show disappointed with his character’s arc and although fans would give anything to get a glimpse of their favorite demon before Supernatural’s time is up, it looks as though their wish might remain unfulfilled, after all.
