Personality:
Crowley is a very calm and serene man, always thinking and calculating his next move. Acting as the head of the Alliance, Crowley regularly encounters troubles all day, resulting in constant head acts for him. Regardless, below his skin deep composure, according to some at least, lies something far more interesting. Crowley is a man of vice, be it lust, greed, pride... Hell, he's a fan of all seven sins. Despite that facade of control he puts up, he has been known in previous incarnations to be a substance abuser, sex addict, and other scrupulous things. That being said, it is not uncommon for him to have rather wild mood swings, changing his solemn cold face into that of a indulger.
History:
Aleister Crowley was a man that lived a simple life in 19th century england. However, he was eventually initiated into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and well, the rest is history. For those of you not well learned in Occult History, go look his name up. Regardless, it was during his time here that he encountered true magic, not that false kind that regular humans chant in hopes of achieving something. He was truly inducted into the Order of the Golden Dawn at that point. At that same time, he also created the Argenteum Astrum, to both teach this new magic to and reinforce his power. However, he still remained loyal to the Golden Dawn. After that, it was he who united the various cults and cabals all around England into the pre-existing Rosicrucian Alliance, with the Rosicrucian Order and his Order of the Golden Dawn the two main factors behind this new alliance. This was done when he and a Rosicrucian representative both signed the Treaty of Roses, forging Magical England into a united front.
Regardless, it was during this time he learned a ancient ritual (Some say from Sirius) that allows him to transfer his soul from one vessel to another. With this knowledge in hand, the old Crowley faked his death and moved his soul to another vessel. With this god-like power, he easily won support of many mages, consolidating the power of the Alliance. During the Secret World War, Crowley (And by extension the Alliance) choose not to participate, as he felt no need to endanger the Alliance over this rupture, instead opting to focus more on magical research and experiments which would broaden their horizons.
Recently, with the Beast Revolution fresh off the table and various cabals in all over the world a pledging allegiance to the Alliance, the Alliance is all about on whether or not they should continue in their isolation. Many Hardliners say no, others say yes, while even more have other opinions about this matter. Regardless, Crowley himself has been forced into a situation where he must remain neutral, to be otherwise might endanger the already fragile stability of the Alliance.
Style
Crowley is a master of Ritual Magic and Wordology, particularly of spells which call for the divine intervention of a god of some sort. Whether or not a god does act is open to debate, but what can be seen is that fact that the spell does leave it's mark in the material world. Finally, he is also a master of the art of Summoning, capable of calling down hundreds of entities. It's said that Aleister, through all his long lives, has forged thousands of pacts with demons, angels, gods, elementals, and other supernatural entities.
Strengths:
Crowley's strengths are his vast knowledge of spells and the energy at his disposal. While he does have some insight to the world, his constant drug abuse would like to say otherwise. Furthermore, it's his commanding aura which gives him strength, he's usually found with his summons about him, ready for a fray as he gives his summons back up and support.
Weaknesses:
Crowley is physically weak, comparative to others on his tier anyways. He lacks the speed, strength or stamina of people on his level, so that makes physical combat a high no-no when it comes to combat. Rather, he would prefer political scheming and stealth as oppose to open combat, but when the time calls, Crowley would send off one of his summons into battle as oppose to himself, making his energy reserves highly important, and serving as a weakness if he lacks mana.

Sample Spells:

Seeking Guidance: By performing this ritual in the name of a god, that god or God will give Crowley advice on what to do.
