Personality and traits
John-117 Initially suspected Crowther of wanting to save his own reputation when he was reluctant to use the Spartan-II's in operations after he found out they were minors. And blamed the Colonel for not giving the Spartans more commanding roles within the battalion. However, after Crowther confided to John-117 that he was weary of Hector Nyeto, whom he suspected of having Insurrectionist sympathies and wanting to kill the Spartan-II's. Upon disclosing this information, he became more accepting and respectful of the Spartans in general, and John in particular. John especially saw him as a father figure and a role model for commanding.
