Well...good question. He did jump that one angel and use his own weapon against him (which might be the one he wielded against Castiel), but he seems to gather those a lot. He's quickly risen through the ranks and in terms of power. His title was powerful, but there was no way the top crossroads demon should have been able to become the King of Hell. Maybe he's Beelzebub or one of the other ranking demons that was 'rumored' to be an angel.

*HUGS*

See that's what I was thinking. He went from Lead crossroads to Lilith's Right Hand in a matter of months. Then? King of Hell.

That's a pretty quick climb for someone who's been a demon for 400 years. And he has no love of demons, we've seen it.

And he knew Lucifer was gonna put a cap in his ass personally. Not just go "whoosh all demons gone". Even before he gave the Winchesters the Colt. Sounds a little grudgey to me

*hugsback*

I've noticed something else...he doesn't lie so much as twist and/or omit TRUTH. Something angels are good at, but demons...not so much.

He despises demons. He had nothing but contempt for everyone from Lilith to Lucifer himself. Not only that, but he seems to have had an easier time popping in and out of Hell at any time.

This is also the same demon that said that access to 'Heaven and Hell was easy' but Purgatory was not. But if he can walk into HEAVEN...hmmmm - and he seems easy with the idea, like he knows what is up there or has at least had a peek.

Yup. Sounds like he and Lucy had history...which shouldn't be possible. But i think even CROWLEY doesn't know (or remember) the whole story. I truly hope they give us a little more info...

Course, I love the smooth way he handles everything. Only the WINCHESTERS seem to rattle him. But humans...free will...unpredictable. Still, he is one of the few that doesn't EVER underestimate them. Finally - a Bad Guy that has SENSE.

*grins*

Yes. Remember what Dean said about "getting" demons, people are crazy? I think poor Crowley feels the same way. Which is why he has longevity.

Yeah, his comments about walking into Heaven and Hell, was interesting in hindsight for sure.

Yeah, I think all signs are pointing to him being more than just a garden variety demon with ambition

Right?!

He took over as King of Hell almost as if he HAD to. And for all the perks he brags about, he doesn't seem to enjoy the job overly much. He seems to see himself as the best candidate to streamline the whole thing, clean it up and keep it running smooth...almost as if he is setting it up in case something happens to him. He seems to think he can (and should) make order of the chaos - very corporate - but not very demony. He doesn't relish the upkeep, but he makes sure no one else gets the job - which he considers a JOB not a right.

Very interesting, our Crowley is...

Positively loving this discussion!

Not where I stand on it all apart from OMG yes he does make pinwheels sexy.

Just a quick warning/FYI thing, remember Mark has said that his job is to lie to us so be wary of anything he may say at cons about it! but please ask away and post the replies!!!
