Crow as seen with his suit
Crow is the main character of Nefarious. He is a supervillain and mechanical genius who aspires to take over the world. Crow prides himself on being a classic villain. He openly delights in being evil, and values his reputation as a bad guy. As a villain, Crow demonstrates a number of selfish qualities. He's power-hungry, wanting to expand his empire and conquer the world. He also shows a great degree of self-aggrandizement, placing statues and decor of himself throughout his empire, as well as modeling his mechs in his own image. An X-ray of Crow reveals that he is missing most of his right arm, and that it is entirely mechanical. Though it appears on left this is due to Josh flipping the canvas, Crow's arm is on the left and has always been on the Right, Slight error that has put a major issue in drawings of community.

The entire game revolves around him stealing princesses (and one prince but yeah) and a recurring joke is that it is a very common villain trope), and Resistance to Electricity Manipulation (resisted being electrocuted. His suits weakness is how conductive it is to electricity, despite this he was somewhat just fine after being shocked), and Madness Manipulation (Is a "Somewhat Mad Guy" meaning he should be capable of resisting madness due to already being mad)

Intelligence: Extraordinary genius (All of his equipment and mechs were built by him, his first ever creation was a mecha that could absorb energy and use said energy to fire back at the opponent. Incredibly Technology savvy, Aware of multiple clichés in villainy and able to make a lot of plans, but tends to not know things outside his fields, for example he has no idea what is an insect's Thorax, doesn't know other languages and calls his secretary 'nerd' for knowing them. Is a master of disguises. Finds paperwork boring, thus he lets Becky do the pencil pushing) | Unknown
Weaknesses: Amputated left arm so he can use the armor, is prone to surprise and does not function well when the status quo is broken. Is so obsessed with villainy that he comments and even helps others who he deems not villainous enough, even going far enough to the point where he did a "Villain Makeover" for a random street thug. Anything he DOES deem villainous enough he will admire and even compliment. Despite its immense durability when it comes to concussive force, his armor can be somewhat bypassed through crushing. Is considered not impressively strong when compared to other Heroes and even a few princesses. His suit is highly conductive to electricity. | Varies
Key: Crow (with/without suit) | Crows technology/Equipment
