Age: 33

Sex: Male

Strengths: Danny is a patient man who attempts to be calm, fair-minded, and reasonable at all times. He is committed to doing what he feels to be the right thing, even when it is not to his advantage, and generally living in the spirit of his faith. He is disciplined and methodical in his pursuits due to his Army career. In addition, he is deeply fascinated by the supernatural and approaches it with great energy and enthusiasm.

Weaknesses: Danny is highly skeptical of modern science and the implications thereof. He refuses to lie, cheat, or break a deal, even when it would be sensible or advantageous to do so. His attempts to offer moral and spiritual guidance may easily be preachy, trite, or self-righteous, alienating others in the process. Additionally, despite his military experience, he has not once seen combat. 

Brief Biography: Born in Philadelphia to a Catholic family, Danny Crowley felt a longtime urge to serve both his country and his faith. He attended seminary in Pennsylvania, as well as a Vatican-approved class in the Rite of Exorcism (due to his personal interest in the occult). Upon being ordained as a Roman Catholic priest, he enlisted in the United States Army as a chaplain. Volunteering for Ranger School and passing all tests given, he was attached to the 75th Rangers, being mostly rotated throughout rear-echelon staff positions.

It was during an otherwise uneventful posting in Germany that Danny's career took an abrupt turn. A young private in the Rangers was stricken by a bizarre affliction, speaking in languages he did not know and lashing out at others with inhuman strength. Base doctors could find no actual physical or mental illness. In desperation, the unit's CO turned to Crowley, their chaplain, who could think of nothing but to perform the Rite of Exorcism. Surprisingly, it seemed to work, and the private was able to return to normal duty with no recollection of the events. 

Afterwards, Danny Crowley was suddenly transferred to the Criminal Investigation Command (CID), the detective wing of Military Police. Though still designated a chaplain, he was given training in basic investigation, he was told that the CID needed a dedicated specialist for investigating what was called "hoodoo cases"- cases that seemed to involve paranormal elements. The hoodoo cases often lacked a real resolution, no declaration of "Elementary, my dear Watson", but Crowley did his best to get results. Now, it seems he has been transferred yet again, ordered to report to Minneapolis indefinitely.

Special Skills: Crowley is an ordained Roman Catholic priest and trained in performing exorcisms. In addition, he has passed the basic requirements of Army Ranger School. He has basic policing skills and some experience in investigating occult phenomena. [/hider]
