[edit] History
Howard Crowley died during the invasion of the beach of Iwo Jima. After becoming Immortal, Crowley's strategy was it to settle in towns often as Sheriff to search and kill local Immortals. In 1992, Sheriff Crowley moved from Loveston to Steveston, Washington. He immediately begun to target Immortal Lucas Desiree, who had withdrawn from The Game and lived in a cabin in the forest near the small town.
On September 18, Crowley visited Desiree in his cabin and beheaded him after a short fight. During the Quickening, a crazy homeless Vietnam veteran named Leo Atkins was passing through and saw the bright light caused by it. Worried that the blame would fall back on him, Crowley seized the opportunity to pin the crazy man for Desiree's murder. Three days later, Duncan MacLeod, who was a friend of Desiree's, visited Atkins in jail and realised that the man arrested for the murder wasn't an Immortal and definitely not the killer. He later met Crowley and immediately knew Crowley was the killer. However, the Sheriff used the town's men to herd MacLeod. At the same time, Sergeant Powell, who was investigating the recent beheadings from Seacouver came to Steveston to question Atkins. Believing him to be innocent, Powell decided to take Atkins back to Seacouver. Knowing his position was at risk, Crowley used his posse to attack Powell and Atkins and lynch the latter. Crowley's plan back fired, however, when Duncan, saved Powell and Atkins and his wrath fell upon Crowley. Their fight took place in front of Desiree's cabin and Duncan was able to defeat and behead Crawley, thus avenging Desiree.
