{{quote|Voiced by: [[Toshihiko Seki]]}}
An ancient magician who resides within the Windowless Building, the founder and General Superintendent of Academy City. He rules Academy City from the shadows, having a higher authority than even the directors. He has a hand in almost everything going on within the city, and spends most of his time [[
----
* [[
*
* [[Assimilation Plot]]: His vision, as revealed in Volume 6 to some degree, is to set up an Artificial Heaven of AIM fields encompassing the entire world by spreading the MISAKA network worldwide and using the influence of {{spoiler|Kazakiri Hyouka}} on it. Basically, by creating a world covered in AIM, all magic will be destroyed and all humans will have access to esper powers. Whether this is his primary [[Evil Plan]] or merely a backup plan of sorts is yet to be seen, as he seems to have several other plans for Academy City.
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Big Bad]]: Certainly a possibility, but...
** [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: ...this is also plausible.
* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: His [[People Jars]] has access to all the data being processed in Academy City, from security cameras to communications equipment. {{spoiler|On top of that he also has a special network of nano-machines called UNDERLINE spread throughout the city that gets him information that even other security systems don't have access to.}}
* [[Brain In a Jar]]: Sort of. Everything except his consciousness is sustained by machinery, so it's more a case of Body In A Jar.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Probably the greatest in the series; he does little else.
* [[Code Name]]: His magic name is "Beast666".
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: NT Volume 18 focuses on his backstory, showing what made him the man he is today.
* [[Deceptive Disciple]]: Is hinted to be one to Aiwass.
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]:
*
** At the end of NT Volume 13, he's caught completely off guard when {{spoiler|Kakeru appears and banishes the remaining Magic Gods. Justified, as Kakeru literally didn't have his power until very recently.}}
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: His hunting of {{spoiler|Shiage}} could be interpreted as this. See [[It's Personal]] below for the details.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: It doesn't help that [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100507015910/to-aru-majutsu-no-index/images/d/d9/Aleisterc10.png the production art] gives him ''a bustline''. A rather impressive one at that.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: {{spoiler|He genuinely cared for his daughter Lilith. His current goal of destroying magic is because he believes it's what led to her death.}}
* [[Flying Broomstick]]: Rides one {{spoiler|to rescue a falling Touma at the end of NT Volume 18.}}
* [[
* [[The Heretic]]: He was the most famous magician of his time and the unofficial representative to the Magic side. His defection to the Science side was not well-received, since he is the best magician, and by defecting to Science, he unofficially proclaimed the superiority of the Science side. This earned him the hatred of close to everyone on the Magic side.
* [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]:
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: With a [[Historical Villain Upgrade]], considering that the nickname of ''The Wickedest Man In The World'' was said of the real [[Aleister Crowley]].
* [[It's Personal]]:
*
** His vengeance against {{spoiler|the Magic Gods is also this. He won't stop until they're dead, seeing them as responsible for his daughter's death.}}
* [[Mad Scientist]] / [[For Science!|For Magic!]]: He was said to have sacrificed his wife's life in a magical experiment. His daughter's whereabouts are unknown, although he was said to have used children no older than his daughter for his experiments.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: To all of Academy City.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: And what a bastard he is.
* [[Me's a Crowd]]: {{spoiler|In response to Lola/Coronzon taking over his original body, he divides himself into 1,083,092,867 copies, each representing one of the possibilities he could have taken.}}
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Until NT Volume 18.
* [[Not So Omniscient After All]]:
** He wasn't able to predict {{spoiler|Shiage, a genuine Level 0, defeating a Level 5. This temporarily disrupts his plans, though he manages to get things in order by New Testament.}}
** He also never realized that {{spoiler|Lola Stuart was actually his daughter, Lola Zaza Crowley, or that she was possessed by Coronzon the entire time.}}
* [[People Jars]]: Floats upside down in one.
* [[Physical God]]: He defeated {{spoiler|Fiamma of the Right}} [[Curb Stomp Battle|before the guy knew what was happening]].
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: It goes down to his ''ankles''.
* [[Reality Warper]]: He is capable of {{spoiler|omnipresence, in a limited form}}.
* [[Simple Staff]]: The Blasting Rod, said to [[Empathic Weapon|follow him only out of pure respect]]. {{spoiler|It's also a staff that's capable of overpowering Fiamma's Holy Right.}}
** [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Blasting Rod was introduced back in Volume 10, when Aleister was pondering whether to take direct action or not.
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: {{spoiler|Aiwass}} eventually remarks that, despite constant re-calculations, Crowley's plans are beginning to come apart at the seams thanks to {{spoiler|the combination of Touma, Accelerator, and Shiage.}}
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: The third most powerful character yet introduced, only outranked by Aiwass and {{spoiler|"The Invisible Thing" sealed by Imagine Breaker}}, although he really doesn't do much except sit around inside his [[People Jars]], that is, until the volume 22 epilogue, where he {{spoiler|[[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomped]] Fiamma.}}
▲* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: Oh so very many. Some of his plans are designed to fail from the start so that another can succeed. A good example would be the Sisters project, which is supposed to fail from the start so that the MISAKA Network would spread worldwide for his Artificial Heaven plan to succeed.
=== Heaven Canceler ===
Line 69 ⟶ 80:
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]
*
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell, Villain?!]]: Calls out Crowley on his immoral activities, but takes no action due to his Hippocratic Oath.
Line 77 ⟶ 88:
----
* [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]
*
=== Tsugutoshi Kaizumi ===
Line 93 ⟶ 104:
* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]: Her specialty is using her position as the Board of Directors and using agreements and powers that she was given in order to pull strings.
* [[Motherly Scientist]]: One of the people in the board of directors who cares about the students.
*
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: One of the only two such members of the Board.
=== Shiokishi ===
Line 105 ⟶ 117:
The man who funds ITEM. It seems that he is involved with Academy City's dark side.
----
*
* [[Revenge]]: He hasn't forgotten that {{spoiler|Accelerator}} shot him in the chest, so he hires an assassin to kill him.
=== Hisako Yakumi ===
The member of the Board of Directors who focuses primarily on medicine. {{spoiler|She is the main villain of NT Volume 7, being behind the Agitate Halation project.}}
----
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|Most of her is eaten by Fraulein, leaving her unable to do anything except suffer until the latter decides to finish the job.}}
* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: {{spoiler|Her ultimate goal was to become an AIM thought being. She succeeds in this - but even incorporeal beings aren't invincible.}}
* [[Creepy Cockroach]]: She makes use of a swarm of cockroaches, whose brains have been damaged by radiation to make them willing to eat anything. This allows them to attack targets anywhere, by chewing through any obstacles. The "creepy" part is outright weaponised, as Hisako deliberately chose cockroaches (instead of, say, termites) to disrupt an enemy esper's concentration and hence their ability.
* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: {{spoiler|She couldn't predict that Fremea would gain the courage to stand up to her. She also had no idea of Fraulein Kreutune's existence.}}
* [[Eaten Alive]]: {{spoiler|Her original body is eaten by her own cockroaches, but this was intentional. Her final fate is being eaten by Fraulein Kreutune, though a small part of her is deliberately left to suffer.}}
* [[Hoist By Their Own Petard]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|Saiai disrupts the scent that Hisako used to control the cockroaches, causing them to devour their own master. But she deliberately allowed this, as part of her plan.}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Definitely. {{spoiler|But it's later revealed that she had a Kihara's thought processes implanted in her head, so she may not have been this originally.}}
* [[The Man Behind The Man]]: She turns out to have been behind many of the schemes in earlier volumes, all as preparation for {{spoiler|Agitate Halation.}}
* [[Older Than He Looks]]: She's actually 70, but looks young due to Academy City's anti-aging research.
* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|She allows herself to be eaten by her cockroaches, as the final step before becoming an AIM thought being.}}
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: She orders the death of {{spoiler|Fremea}} when she is no longer useful to her plans, though it fortunately fails.
