250k characters or more, eh. Shouldn't be too hard.
* AlasPoorVillain: After he dies in ''Cold Steel II'', he never finds out that that his revenge against Osborne ended up getting undone once Osborne reveals that he's still alive. This is after siding against Class VII for most of ''Cold Steel II''.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Though far from being the strongest member of the ILF (that belongs to Vulcan), his time as C reveals that he can lead the terrorist group while kicking Class VII's ass.
* BalanceBuff: Upon ''Cold Steel IV's'' release in Japan, the Japanese fans thought that Crow was horribly weak due to his middling crafts and his so-so Brave Order. Patch 1.03 in Japan's release and the default patch the West got gave Crow the "[[SuperMode Azure Destiny]]" craft which fixed so many of Crow's problems.
* BashBrothers: Post-resurrection and getting his memories back, he always teams up with Rean for the Rivalries in their Divine Knights. He and Rean even retain their CombinationAttack.

* {{BFG}}: The sniper rifle he uses to snipe Osborne has a long barrel which allows him to snipe Osborne hundreds of selge away.
* BornWinner: He is considered by Class VII as their best warrior who is always ahead of them in terms of skill and fighting experience. He was able to train himself with a number of different weapons, gives Class VII in their freshman year a run for their money, and is able to convince everyone that he's just a slacker when in reality he was moving behind the scenes. He even manages to finish the Divine Knight trials only with the help of Vita while Rean had help from the rest of Class VII and Crow.
* BrilliantButLazy: How he presented himself in ''Cold Steel I'' where he behaves like a slacker who's lacking in school credits. But then turns out to be far smarter than anyone ever realized especially when he's revealed to be C.
* BrokenPedestal: Subverted no matter how much he betrayed his friends and Class VII. Despite the fact that he puts Rean in a coma and separated Class VII for at least a month, Class VII still believes in him and still believe that they can bring him back to the academy.

* ChildhoodFriends: It's revealed in ''Cold Steel'' III that he and Stark were this to each other while growing up in Jurai. This is what partially motivated Stark to enroll at Thors Branch Campus.
* ChoiceOfTwoWeapons: Compared to other characters, Crow has two distinct weapon styles. His first is [[GunsAkimbo dual wielding a pair of pistols]], while the other is his [[DoubleWeapon Double]] Saber. He primarily uses the latter as "C" and keeps on using it after his identity is revealed. He can swap between the two styles mid-battle during ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie'', though he has two gun-based Crafts and only one saber-based Craft.

* ColdSniper: He coldly tells Osborne to go finish his speech in hell right before he snipes Osborne in ''Cold Steel I''.
* CombatPragmatist: At the climax of chapter 6 in ''Cold Steel I'', he drops his double-saber so that he can blind Class VII and Angelica to make his escape. And he has no problems activating Ordine's SuperMode to incapacitate Rean at the end of ''Cold Steel I''. Even his cheating move in Vantage Masters in ''Cold Steel IV'' in his bonding event has him pull off an advanced combination to supress Rean. Rean however wises up and manages to turn this around on Crow.

* CrutchCharacter: A variation in ''Reverie'': while he is available throughout most of the game, even joining Rean's route twice (by technicality), he is unavailable for the FinalBoss of the game, alongside Rean [[spoiler:and Rufus]].
* CurbStompBattle: His first duel with Rean in ''Cold Steel II'' has him stomping on Rean in their fight despite the fact that Rean had a few fights under his belt in their Divine Knights. Rean even surmises that Crow didn't even need to use his SuperMode at the end of ''Cold Steel I'' to own Rean.

to:
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Although he is the FinalBoss of ''Cold Steel I'', as a whole in the Erebonia arc, he is this as Rean ends up fighting far more powerful foes than Crow.
* DrillSergeantNasty: When it comes to the competition in ''Cold Steel I'', he and Elliot make sure that Class VII is up to the task. Class VII dreads at the two teaming up with Emma losing control of herself and breaking down in the process.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction scene with Rean establishes that he is really good at tricking people even those whose senses are sharp as Crow tosses Rean's 50 mira in the air and acts as though he caught it in his hands when in reality, the coin fell in the bag.
* ExBigBad: While he was the BigBad of ''Cold Steel I'', being the leader of the ILF, from ''Cold Steel II'' onwards, he's either TheDragon to Cayenne or Vita or TheBrute to the Black Workshop. It's when Rean manages to tie their lives to one another after their final duel in the first Rivalry of ''Cold Steel IV'' is when he becomes Rean's [[TheLancer Lancer.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Happens to him three times: in ''Cold Steel II'' when he realizes that Emma and Celine can't close the wound on his chest, he manages to say a few words to Class VII and Vita before passing on, in ''Cold Steel IV'' when the same thing happens again with Emma and Celine trying to heal him only for Crow to nearly disappear until Rean manages to IndyPloy that, and at the end of ''Cold Steel IV'' where he was about to disappear for good before Roselia and Franz activate the Arc Rouge and Lost Zem Sacrament codes.

* Foil: Obviously to Rean. Both are leaders of a group with Rean leading Class VII and Crow leading the ILF, both of their primary elements are time, and both of them aren't raised by their biological parents. Rean only uses a tachi while Crow utilizes a lot of different weaponry from dual wielding guns to his double-bladed saber, Rean is right-handed while Crow is ambidextrous who mostly wields his melee weapon on his left hand, and their secondary orbments are polar opposites with Rean's fire to Crow's water.
* FourIsDeath: Inverted at the end of ''Cold Steel IV'' where Crow is given a new lease in life.

* GeniusBruiser: While he does present himself as a slacker, it turns out that he is far, ''far'' smarter than he actually acts where Rean can go to him for advice on a midterm exam and the fact that he manages to hide his identity as C. He's also a very strong fighter and manages to kick Rean, Laura, and Fie's asses by himself at the end of chapter 4 in ''Cold Steel I''.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: By ''Cold Steel IV'', he switches from his Azure Siegfried costume that was mostly blue into the costume that he wears for both ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie'' with his tanned coat. However, players can still make him wear his Azure Siegfried costume.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Despite the fact that he's acting like a jerk at the end of ''Cold Steel I'' and throughout most of ''Cold Steel II'', he still has some good in him. Namely, he contacts Toval on where to find Rean, he serves Rean his hometown's burgers, and apologizes to Cedric on what he's about to experience when the boy's hooked up onto Vermillion Apocalypse.
* HopeSpot: Pulls this off on Rean at the end of ''Cold Steel I'' where Rean thinks he manages to beat Crow, only for Crow to pull out Ordine's SuperMode and trounces Rean in one hit that sends Rean into critical and is forced to flee from Crow.

Added DiffLines:
