He debuted under UFW at the first UFW show, the Frontline on May 30, 2021, but had also been a commentator under FWF prior to the UFW rebrand. Crovan has been present at the commentary table for the vast majority of UFW shows, almost to the point of becoming a constant in the UFW Arena.

Appearance

Crovan is a veilhound, which are a race of alien demon fae from another world. By nature, veilhounds have a very demonic appearance with horns and spaded tails, and Crovan is no exception. Not wanting to bother with explaining his species, Crovan will often describe himself as a hellhound.

Another key feature of veilhounds are their crown flames, a hovering flame that hovers above their heads. Crovan's is a Starfire crown flame with a bright orange glow. Crovan is able to extinguish or light his crown flame at will.

Crovan's fur patterns are mostly shades of brown, with some white markings in various places, including the hands, which is fitting, as according to old British legend, the name 'Crovan' means 'White Handed.'

Crovan's build is muscular, though not overly bulky, and showing a physical strength that is likely on par with many on the wrestling roster. Despite this, he is almost always seen wearing a full three-piece suit that often hides his figure. Though this doesn't come from a deliberate desire to hide his body, but rather from his sense of style and class.

Personality

Crovan is selfish and apathetic towards others. He often takes pleasure in watching the suffering of others and quite enjoys watching someone get pummeled in a flurry of fists, hence his catchphrase 'more of the punching, please.' He's also a snob, preferring fine clothes, food, and drink while demeaning that which he finds inferior. For example, as an avid drinker of fine scotch whisky, he considers bourbon whiskey to be a "drink for uncultured simpletons who grew up in the mountains fornicating with their cousins."

His business, Crovan Holdings, has brought him great wealth, which he is not above boasting about. You may hear him going on about fine scotch, his private aircraft, which include a Boeing 737 BBJ private jet and an Airbus H160 private helicopter, or any other manner of luxurious items he has come into possession of. When asked what Crovan Holdings does, his response is that it is a legitimate business and offers no further elaboration.

Crovan is not above making vague threats, both of the physical and legal variety, but has not yet been observed, at least within the walls of UFW, to act on any of them. Whether or not these threats actually carry any weight is unknown, though it is known that Crovan rarely likes to do his own dirty work.

That said, Crovan does seem to have a love for violence, which is what brought him to UFW in the first place, viewing the fed as a great source of entertainment where he can "watch idiotic lugs beating the crap out of each other for [his] own amusement."

Crovan can sometimes appear cowardly, as he will often complain about violent acts that get too close to him, and never seeming to act on threats. Though despite that, there does seem to be a restrained propensity for violence within him, indicating that if he ever were to lose his self control, things would probably get very ugly very fast.

Commentary Style

Crovan, mostly being a blow-by-blow anchor commentator, generally calls things neutral, though that is not to say he is without biases. Under that veneer of professionalism, if you pay close attention, you can see that Crovan doesn't really appreciate the do-gooders on the roster and seems to prefer those who go out of their way to be violent, strategically underhanded, or subversive, feeling them to be the superior way to wrestle. This can sometimes bring him into conflict with other commentators who see the underhanded tactics for what they really are.

Crovan will often hand-wave underhanded tactics, considering them to be of strategic value. and even outright illegal tactics if the wrestler doesn't get caught, often with a shrug and a statement along the lines of "Well, if the ref didn't see it, it didn't happen." Though he will call an illegal move for what it is if a wrestler does get caught.

Feud with Alex Calhira

In March and April of 2023, Crovan began to take issue with the way Alex Calhira was behaving at the table, making jokes at Crovan's expense. Crovan made a deal with Vincent Carpathia after the discovery of a wrestling contract Calhira had inadvertently signed that gave Corvan control of booking Calhira for matches of his choice.

Alex Calhira VS The Soldier

First, Crovan pitted Calhira against The Solider after calling him out during the Unbroken show on March 27. Calhira was unprepared for the match and was handily defeated, left crumpled in the middle of the ring. Crovan returned and further belittled Calhira before revealing that Carpathia had given him full control of Calhira's bookings.
