It is partially because of this fucking weird sword. A daemon sword (WTF?) called the Frostmou--'''''Black Blade of Antwyr'''''. The [[Inquisition]], unable to destroy said Blade of Antwyr for some apparent idiocy, entrusted guardianship of the sword to their most hardcorez zealots, namely Crowe, for it had mindfucked and ass-raped every other guy who used the sword. It even lead to three full sectors being corrupted and actually required the entire Grey Knight chapter to step in and fuck its shit up. The fluff is fairly straightforward, stating that Crowe is constantly under physical and spiritual peril as the sword actively attracts chaos to it wherever he goes, in addition to actually granting enemy units more attacks against him when he is in their general area. The sword also constantly tries to corrupt Crowe himself in the process, but he staunchly refuses to bend to its will, Castellan Badass even goes so far as to utterly refuse using the 'hinted' considerable-I-CAN-FUCKING-KILL-EVERYTHING-FOREVER-power of the ancient blade. This surprisingly pleased many [[Writefag]]s who have grown weary of the overused '''evil-thing-[[Fulgrim| Fucks up]]-and-[http://www.wowwiki.com/The_Lich_King corrupts]-good-thing cliche''' of many occult genres. Instead, Crowe uses his own Brotherhood champion skillz to wield it as if it was just another regular sword, to which the blade constantly bitches about.
Because he's a badass.


Though most veterans have rightly begrudged Crowe's retarded Ward stats of fuckwittery, many believe that during the time [[Matt_Ward|Ward]] was writing the Grey Knights Codex, he had walked out of the room to glance at other shit-pieces of his work in an effort piss off more people with his faggotry. So distracted by his own self-proclaimed awesomeness, that a more competent writer (i.e. everyone) had happen to see one of the hero characters he was working on and sat down to write the rest of this hero's backstory. Matt Ward being the [[Spiritual Liege]] that he is, did not notice that one of his heroes had become better than his entire combined works and simply moved on to the next idiocy he was planning to do. Thus, were we given this little chunk of reprieve in a book filled with suicide-inducing [[Rage]]. Plus, enduring the corruption of a sword is a hell of a lot more credible than [[Kaldor_Draigo| surviving the chaos realm]].
He's a badass because he wields a daemon sword.


''More than that though, Crowe unintentionally reflects now the common mentality of veteran daemonhunter players; Not to use the more imbalanced weapons of the grey knights, but to rely on their own tactical plays with some of the more basic grey knight units and equipment. [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Daemonhunters| Just like back in the day]].''

"This sword should be used by a Daemon prince, but I'm using it as an oversized walking stick coz that's just how I roll"

Castellan Garran Crowe is both Captain and Brotherhood Champion of the Purifiers of the Grey Knights Chapter of Space Marines. The Purifiers are a group of specialists that burn shit with their minds and are the purest-hearted of the Knights. Castellan Crowe, needless to say, is both of these things, as well as being one of the best swordsmen in the Grey Knights.

Sounds like a Mary Sue, no?

Ironically, Castellan Crowe is the only Grey Knights character (aside from Brother-Captain Stern) that has not earned the enmity of /tg/.

Y He No Part of Ward's Dick Club?

Because he's a badass.

He's a badass because he wields a daemon sword.

A daemon sword called the Black Blade of Antwyr.

A daemon sword that could not be destroyed by the Inquisition.

A daemon sword that mindfucked every other guy that had ever wielded it.

A daemon sword that corrupted three full sectors and required the entire Grey Knights Chapter to step in and stop it.

A daemon sword that actively tries to murder Crowe every time he wields it.

A daemon sword that has near-infinite power, just waiting to be unleashed...

But Crowe just uses it as a regular power sword, because using that near-infinite power would corrupt him.

Somewhat surprisingly, this pleased many Writefags, most of whom had grown weary of the overused "evil-thing-Fucks up-and-corrupts-good-guy" trope and rather enjoy a more heroic take on it.

Also, barely enduring the influence of a single daemon weapon makes a lot more sense (and is a lot cooler than) not only surviving in the Warp, but actively destroying all the Chaos Gods' shit.
