Biography[]
The Crow (2024 Film)[]
Roeg is a centuries-old crime lord who has made a dark pact with the devil, granting him eternal life in exchange for delivering innocent souls to Hell. This deal has allowed him to amass power and maintain his sinister influence over time. Driven by his relentless pursuit of immortality and control, Roeg hunts down Shelly, a young woman who becomes his next target.
As Shelly tries to escape, Roeg sends his enforcer, Marian, to track her down, leading to a deadly confrontation that results in the deaths of both Shelly and her lover, Eric. However, Roeg's plans are threatened when Eric, revived by supernatural forces, begins to hunt down Roeg's men, seeking revenge and a way to bring Shelly back.
Roeg, ever the manipulator, takes control of Shelly's mind from beyond the grave, forcing her to commit a heinous act and thereby sowing doubt in Eric's heart. This move is a testament to Roeg's cunning and ruthless nature, as he uses Shelly as a pawn to undermine Eric's resolve.
In the final showdown, Roeg confronts Eric, attempting to overpower him and steal his newfound abilities. Despite his centuries of experience and the dark powers he wields, Roeg is ultimately defeated when Eric transports them both to the desolate trainyard, where Eric finishes him off and frees Shelly's soul. Roeg's centuries-long reign of terror ends with his death, his quest for eternal life finally meeting its end at the hands of the very forces he sought to manipulate.
