"Judgement and Penance, Loyce Hal. For as long as I stand, you shall not lay a finger on Dainsleif and my Outer Shadows."
- John's final declaration to Loyce
Inner Shadow Reaper, born John Crassman, is an immensely powerful Inner Shadow serving The Black Legion Organization, and is a major supporting character during the events of Beyond the Gods. According to the Dogma of Equivalent Exchange, John is considered the strongest man in the entire human race due to the sheer number of accomplishments he had achieved even before accepting the Dogma's Bargains for The Great Akuma's power.
Throughout the story, it is revealed that John, like Aaron, was an infamous SS Ranked Outer Shadow who had amassed a terrifying reputation for killing deities despite being human, making him one of the oldest SS Ranked Outer Shadow legends even before Dainsleif's service to the Black Legion. Known by many as the feared God Reaper, John was also revealed to be the first Outer Shadow in the history of The Black Legion Organization to defeat an Inner Shadow, and consequently, the first human to be granted the title of Inner Shadow through a trial of combat. The Inner Shadow that Crassman had defeated would be none other than Avara, the Goddess of Fertility, leading to the events of He Kills Gods as a Man and the birth of The God Eater.
After his titanic battle against Loyce Hal, in which the Inner Shadow crippled the Demon King by reducing his overall power by 33%, John retired from his duties as an Inner Shadow due to his extensive injuries. However, Crassman remains temporarily stationed in Trion to keep the people of the Champions Universe safe from the Vessels of Vala.
Personality
John is depicted to be a very composed, stoic, mature, and hardened middle-aged man, reinforced by many years of experience both on the battlefield as well as in life. As an Inner Shadow of the Black Legion Organization, Crassman also exhibits a very strong sense of duty and responsibility for his subordinate Outer Shadows, valuing each member and demonstrating the degree to which he cares for those under his chain of command. As a result of his experience, John had also taken a form of mentorship role toward Aaron Hope and Sarah Ultear, teaching the two his chakra techniques. When Aaron had become overwhelmed by the attack of Vala's Vessels on Inner Shadow Gasket's world, John offered his help while also providing guidance to the Outer Shadow.
Unlike his intimidating aura and appearance, John is very kind and patient. This is especially so when he is with his wife, Taylor Hunt, to which many who knew the couple commented on John's affectionate side as a husband. Even after the events of his encounter with Loyce Hal, John's fatherly instincts never left the Inner Shadow. As was shown when the Inner Shadow interacted with one of the waitresses in Trion, John remarked that her clumsiness had reminded him of his wife and that Taylor would have wanted their daughter to be just as "innocent and adorable".
