Editing The Fallen (section)

===Crowleys===
The Crowleys emulate Leviathan, and are known for being some of the most visible members being made up of jackasses and trouble makers.<ref name="R4"/> Some later claimed that this was an attempt to spread the word of their message of the approaching [[End of the World]].<ref name="II2.1 e2"/> This branch had a history of prejudice against [[Case 53]]s.<ref name="4.7II e8">“This isn’t an inquisition,” Erin said.  “Rain isn’t responsible for everything the Fallen have done.”<br><br>Sveta ignored Erin for the moment.  “Other Fallen groups have taken us for freak shows.  The embodiments of the end times.  Tom and Jake Crowley.  I know that’s not on you, Rain, but you have to realize they aren’t good people.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/20 Excerpt] from [[Shade 4.7]]</ref><!-- Interesting about Tom and Jake, are they important members? --> The Crowleys keep up connections with Biker gangs and other fringe groups.<ref name="II5.8" /> Main branch family members generally have non-self targeted duplication powers,<ref name="6.2 II"/><ref name="FallenforFallen">
'''◈  Cassiel, Caspiel'''<br>[...]<br>'''Powers:''' They can double people and objects.  The doubles have powers.  They’ve been doubling drugs so that people who take the drugs get the high, only to have the drugs disappear from their systems after the time limit is up. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XBqhrlqey9PvHWTjVm-VW5-UJ6ZB6tuc9z6NNmZgoZs The Fallen, for Fallen Son]</ref> just as their totem has his [[Leviathan#After-Echo|Water-Echo]].

This branch got started as a bunch of attention seeking college students, then the Crowleys took over.<ref name="6.7II e1">He sighed.  “Crowleys… we’ve been seeing them like I used to see the McVeay leaders when we’d go visit their compounds or when they checked on us.  The rest of the family never respected them.  That branch started because some university kids wanted attention, and then a bunch of brothers with powers jumped in, played along, and took over.  They almost got killed by the other families before they figured out how to play the politics.”<br><br>“And somewhere along the way, they started buying what they were selling to keep the group together?” I asked.<br><br>Rain shook his head.  “I don’t know.  It never felt like they took this seriously, everyone says they capitalize on the reputation of the other families.  But they had the guns today, didn’t they?  They were for real.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/05/pitch-6-7/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.7]]</ref> The branch had a fractious relationship with the rest of the Fallen before things settled down.<ref name="6.7II e1"/> This cultural gap may be why they are the most comfortable setting up shop in cities and other populated areas.<ref name="R4"/>

The eldest Crowley brother was exiled for going too far and committing murder in 2011. He made a brief return as leader of the branch in late 2012 or early 2013, and then killed two of his own family members.<ref name="II2.1 e3"/> Then [[Vince Crowley|Vince]], the middle brother and [[Empusa|Sabrina]], the sister, were known for networking with the other clans,<ref name="6.9e2">Middle brother.  It made sense that he was here.  The other brothers were supposedly present, but this was the guy who was looped in with the Mathers.  The Mathers family traded family members to and from other branches, connecting families and cementing ties.  The Mathers had also kidnapped kids.  Vince Crowley and his sister had been the ones handling the Crowley end of the deal.  They were smugglers, thieves, and general assholes who had dodged the reaching arms of the heroes, while providing shelter to the real monsters, and implicitly accepting some really fucked up stuff.<br><br>The McVeays had been murderers and zealots, the Mathers were kidnappers, among other things, and Vince and Sabrina Crowley had been enablers.  They were smugglers, they’d kept kidnapping victims and sheltered murderers while there was too much attention and heat on them, and they’d almost gotten away with it, despite being up against the whole PRT.<br><br>Sabrina had been caught, as were several sub-cells and supporters of that particular family unit.  They’d disappeared, they’d reappeared after Gold Morning, Sabrina back with her brother, and I knew about them because the patrol blocks were keeping tabs on them. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/11/pitch-6-9/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.9]]</ref> trading some of their members for McVeays who needed shelter from the attention of the law and kidnapped or brainwashed Mathers victims.<ref name="II2.1 e3"/> 

Jake Crowley,<ref name="4.7II e8"/> the youngest brother, was a "party animal" with four wives all half his age.<ref name="II2.1 e4">“The little brother,” the guy with the tattoos said.<br><br>“The party animal,” I said.<br><br>“That’s what we’re about!” were the shouts.  There was more of a raucous response from the other reinforcements.  Cries and shouts of ‘party’.  People throughout the crowd were looking.<br><br>“He’ll try to steal your girlfriend before he makes you welcome!” I had to raise my voice to be heard.  The people who were pushing forward made it harder for me to see the couple.  “It’s not worth it.  You can look him up at a library.  Jake Crowley!  Four wives, all half his age!” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/09/flare-2-1/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.1]]</ref>
