Biography
Lord Crowley prophecied that the decision to abandon the Alliance was a grave mistake and later led the uprising that resulted in a civil war, resulting in his arrest and imprisonment.[1] When the capital of Gilneas was attacked by feral worgen, Crowley was released by Gilnean adventurers and convinced to give aid to Greymane, who had ordered the evacuation of Gilneas. In order to divert the worgen's attention from the fleeing citizens, Crowley led a group of sane Gilneans to stand against them at Light's Dawn Cathedral. Crowley and his followers were overwhelmed, and became worgen themselves.
Soon afterwards Lord Crowley captures feral worgen in the woods of the Blackwald, and tries to make them sane.[2] As the Forsaken invasion goes on, Genn Greymane will ask Crowley for help. Due Lord Godfrey's command Darius will refuse but when Greymane reveals that he too has succumbed to the Worgen curse Darius will agree to join forces.
Lord Darius Crowley, Leader of the Gilneas Liberation Front
With Gilneas now in enemy hands following the Forsaken invasion, Lord Crowley leads the Gilneas Liberation Front against the forsaken in Silverpine Forest. With help from the 7th Legion, who used a submarine to pass the enemy lines, the Alliance will gain the upper hand in Gilneas. However agents of the Horde end up destroying some the reinforcements and enable the forsaken to resurrect Lord Godfrey as one of their own; a fact that none of the Gilneans were aware of.
With Godfrey's help the forsaken successfully capture Darius's own daughter Lorna Crowley. Sylvanas Windrunner herself will ride out to meet with Darius at the shattered Greymane Wall and will give him two choice; the surrender of the Gilneas Liberation Front or Lorna is turned into one of the forsaken. Without a moment of hesitation Darius agrees to surrender in order to protect his daughter, Sylvanas allows them to flee to Gilneas, which is still contested between the Alliance and the Horde.

This song is also used in the meme growing around the character, with fans referring to the character as "Miiiiister Croooowwwwley" (dun dun dun). The Mr. Crowley meme in reference to Darius Crowley was started by the voice actor Jesse Cox in his worgen starting zone videos.
