Crown was once an alchemical superweapon, a demon of sorts summoned from another plane to posess soldiers and turn them into violent monsters of inky black tar. During it's time doing this, it began to wonder if there was more to its existence than violence, and eventually snapped it's binding collar and fled to pursue a life of its own.
During that time, it met Krik't, a kobold field medic who it would befriend and who would be profoundly influential on Crown's life and worldview, encouraging it to experience everything it could, and to approach the world with optimism. Krik't eventually went on to found the Record Keepers Guild, which Crown became an archivist for, seeking out information and experiences to catalog.
Hundreds of years passed since then, with Crown slipping into the background of the RKG, continuing to seek out new people and experiences for itself and for the guild.
Crown is still capable of 'merging' with people like when it was enslaved, though now only does so of its own volition. The merging process starts as Crown taking the form of an article of clothing or accessory for the wearer, gradually becoming more entagled with them until the two become a single unified being. The process requries complete trust and agreement from both parties, and Crown refuses to use the power to harm anyone.
Beyond that, Crown can manifest weaponry from its body, a remnant of its original purpose it's unable to shake. It regrets this, but has mostly come to peace with it.
