APPEARANCE: A tall, rake thin man with long white hair and piercing blue eyes. His androgynous, almost alien appearance has led to him being described as one who "looks like an adult, yet also a child; like a man, yet also a woman; like a saint, yet also a criminal". He is expressionless, never letting his emotions show. He dresses in long, green robes at all times.

• HEIGHT: 175cm
  
• WEIGHT: Unknown.
  
• DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Due to his failing physical condition, Aleister is forced to remain inside a life support device at all times. He floats, suspended upside down in a tube of fluid that is believed to be vital to his survival.

PERSONALITY:

• A Master Strategist
  First and foremost Aleister is a master of strategy, planning ahead for any contingency. He is the mastermind behind Academy City and many of the events that occur within its walls, having many plans running parrallel and abandoning one in favour of another, which in turn enables the execution of another. His schemes are so vast that it has been said they may be beyond what anyone can understand.
  
• Cold and Calculating
  Aleister does not show his emotions readily, presenting a stone wall of indifference to even the most dramatic events. This icy facade gives him an intimidating, enigmatic presence that serves to throw off others, making them easier to manipulate. He is impossible to read, his true intentions known only to himself.
  
• Unfettered
  He has no concern beyond his plans and how they can help him achieve his goals. As a result he will aid and discard people at will as far as it will help his plans, even going so far as to sacrifice his own daughter in a magical experiment. Morality has little concern to the magician, who believes that he is above such petty matters.
  
• Genius Intellect
  A true genius, Aleister was once known as the greatest magician in history due to his ground-breaking developments and writings on magical theory. His greatest work, the Book of the Law, is considered one of the most influential tomes in Western magic. He has since abandoned magic, instead focussing his intellect on the field of science.

HISTORY:
Born Edward Alexander Crowley in October 1875, he was an English occultist, mystic, ceremonial magician who was responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. In his role as the founder of the Thelemite philosophy, he came to see himself as the prophet who was entrusted with informing humanity that it was entering the new Aeon of Horus in the early 20th century.

Born into a wealthy upper class family, as a young man he became an influential member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn after befriending the order's leader, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. Subsequently believing that he was being contacted by his Holy Guardian Angel, an entity known as Aiwass, while staying in Egypt in 1904, he "received" a text known as The Book of the Law from what he believed was a divine source, and around which he would come to develop his new philosophy of Thelema. He would go on to found his own occult society, the A∴A∴ and eventually rose to become a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) and a prominent figure in the magical community. After abandoning the practise of magic amid widespread opposition, Crowley fled into hiding where he remained until his 'death' at the hands of assassins by the English Church.

Nursed back to health by the man who would later become known as 'Heaven Canceller', Crowley decided on the plan that would eventually become Academy City.
