Both are traitorous JRPG party members who lead elaborate double lives as both ordinary high school students and members of dangerous terrorist organizations dressed in remarkably similar black suits of armor. The two also share a similar set of weapons, and can easily switch from bladed weapons to firearms to best suit their current situation.

Both of them are primarily motivated by getting revenge on two corrupt, powerful political figures who were responsible for conquering Crow's homeland and ruining Goro's life altogether. To that end, they decided to integrate themselves into two groups of empowered high school students who just so happened to share some of the same goals with them. While they were able to form genuine bonds with the playable party (and the main protagonists in particular), Crow and Goro were still willing to continue commiting atrocious acts and fight against their own comrades in the pursuit of their own ambitions.

However, at the end of the day, their years worth of crimes and planning all amounted to nothing when they completely failed to accomplish their life's goals in the way that they intended. Even so, Crow and Goro were still able to redeem themselves when they sacrificed themselves to save the lives of their friends, although the circumstances surrounding their final moments have given rise to a certain level of ambiguity. (After all, Crow does end up coming back to life in the following game under an amnesiac new identity, and Goro didn't exactly die on screen either.)
