The Dullahan are the bringers of death, to all and in turn are feared by all. If there were any allies Croi could use more it would be them. But something is off. Something is wrong. The lord of the Dullahan is being held back, watched and unable to voice his true wants. Everyone deserves their freedom and Croi doesn't care if Marcach helps him in return or not. He wants to help him because it feels right and because Croi cares. But he isn't alone. Cigfran, the white raven who once stood at the Seelie Queen's side has a personal reason to help as well. There is more to each person than what they show and Croi is a firm believer in that and willing to give Cigfran the chance to prove himself and to help.
