He was blinded from his own rumination. He tended to overthink his situation quite a bit. He knew there wasn't anybody he could rely on. He only had himself at the moment. After being separated from his family. His hopelessness is what was holding him back on his path to freedom. He knew he was already dying anyway. They would kill him if he screwed up again. And the thing about the slave trade was that there would always be someone to replace him. At first he considered killing them. But he didn't want to live with the guilt. And then it even crossed his mind that maybe he didn't want to live at all. What is the point of living when you couldn't enjoy life?

Crow had used the axe he was using to chop wood, and without even a second thought. He didn't know what happened next but that was when he arrived in hell. He could see color, but whenever he looked at himself or went fully demonic all he would see is black and white.

He quickly realized after two months in hell that he had power that he didn't believe he even had. He had the ability to summon chains and manipulate them. All those years of torture, now that's what he specialized in. These chains had the power to change temperature. Either they could be very hot or very cold. Depending on the temperature of the chains is how it would affect the individual. He could also control how many chains he wanted to use and how tight he wanted them to be.

There was only really one demon in hell that he cared about. That was Angel Dust, the porn star. If anyone dared to lay a finger on him he would torture them in public where everyone can see.

Alastor the radio demon and Vox the TV Host, had arrived in hell a good amount of years after Crow. Alastor admired his black and white colorscheme since he was into old stuff. He wasn't friends with Crow or anything more that that. Just acquaintances. Vox had used to be good friends with Alastor but got mad that he refused to join his team. His technology would continue to improve, while Alastor continued to live in the past. Often Vox would make fun of crow for being so ancient but he was still pretty close with the torture demon. Valentino was a simp for his "kinky chains" but he also hated Crow for stealing his best porn actor. Velvette barely found anything interesting about Crow, but she liked his humor and fashion taste.

Crow wasn't interested in joining the Vees since Valentino was part of the team. Crow was building a master plan in order to make Valentino suffer immensely. But he still did offer to help them from time to time as long as it wouldn't benefit Valentino in anyway shape or form.

Angel Dust eventually invited him to stay in the Hazbin Hotel. They shared a room together. He eventually got to know all the other residents in the hotel. Nifty, Husk, Vaggie, and Charlie herself. He was on good terms with pretty much everyone aside from Vaggie. She didn't trust overlords due to her secret history of being an angel. But she was definitely nicer to Crow since he was a pretty chill overlord until you've pissed him off.
