There are many stories of our glorious King Crow and his birth of his immortal being. But I will tell you a simple version. King Crow was a young kingdom trying to pull a young war torn country back together. Crow traveled into the dangerous forests and called witches peak to beg of the witches to grant him with the strength to save his people. The witches impressed with his fortitude agreed they gave him his great strength and size and the ability to live forever. He used this to return to his kingdom and defeat the foreign armies attacking it but witches are tricky beasts you know and they cursed him so that he could never bear an heir.
