#I haven't eaten all day and I'm kinda dizzy from the flu

I serious don't understand why everyone is assuming Crowley is Levan. If he is, I'm sure Lillia and Malleus would've already found out. Besides, doesn't Crowley have some interaction with Malleus and Lillia wouldn't they of all people would know?

I feel like some of the reasons people subscribe to this theory are

Crowley's actions in general are pretty suspicious, so it seems like he has some sort of hidden goal or motive yet to be explained that could be related to his "true" identity (i.e. accepting a magicless student and a weird cat monster relatively easily into what's supposed to be a prestigious magic school / being relatively useless despite being the headmaster of said prestigious magic school, leaving students to deal with overblots on their own)

He doesn't look human, he's most likely a fae of sorts.

People assume that he is TWST's version of Diablo, Maleficent's raven

Yana is known to pull some moves completely out of left field in her stories (i.e. the twins reveal in Kuroshitsuji)

I don't necessarily follow this theory so I probably missed the most compelling "evidence," but these are the reasons to believe I can think of.

I definitely lean more towards "Crowley is definitely hiding something, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is Levan" because

I agree with the fact that (unless some sort of large scale spell is involved for plot reasons) Lilia should definitely be able to tell if Crowley is his childhood best friend, who presumably died at war.

Maleficent wasn't the only villain with a pet raven. The Evil Queen also had one, and I feel that Crowley himself fits more with her if we look at the colours in his design. There's also the importance twst gives to the Magic Mirror as a magical object and as a motif throughout the game's designs, so it would make sense to have the two be related to each other.

Also, fun fact: as the Evil Queen came first, she served as the blueprint for subsequent Disney Villains including the Queen of Hearts and Maleficent herself. Is not too farfetched to believe that Yana took that into account when deciding on the aspects of the plot (like relating the person who most likely summoned Yuu into twst to her). I mean, look at Pomefiore's cards background vs the curtains in Crowley's office vs the Evil Queen:

...I kinda lost where I was going with all this after thinking about the Evil Queen.

Let me get back to the main topic.

I don't really expect that Crowley = Levan, but would I like to see it? Definitely, both for the angst and the absurdity of it. I love to see people enjoy their theories until canon proves them either right or wrong! 🌻
