Background
Corvus is one of the Forlorn – an elf raised apart from his own kind. Unlike most elves, heis prone to travel and exploration from an early age (early for elves that is). His love of languages was enough to brave the nautical journey to Sargava. Like most elves, he has a unique perspective on history, and has a strong interest in all things ancient.
Adding to the draw of the region is the standard wizard’s curiosity to explore and study in far-off lands, and Sargava—being one of only a few gateways to the Mwangi Expanse—is a natural choice for arcane scholars the world over. Corvus is one of many wizards who have frequently sail to Eleder in the hope of discovering long lost secrets in the jungles to the east. Untold civilizations have risen and fallen in the heart of the Mwangi Expanse, leaving behind secrets and magical lore few adventurous spellcasters can resist the draw to discover.
Aside from his vocation as a wizard, Corvus is, like many elves, an enigma. He deals in concepts rather than the mundane and is fastidious with language – to the point of being pedantic with others. This can manifest as sarcasm to non-elves but there is no attempt at humour, purely a desire for correctness. Again, with a love of knowledge, he presumes all others are equally interested and will gladly share facts – regardless if people want to hear them.
Physically he’s tall and wiry and dresses in various shades of grey. He’s as adept with a cross-bow as a spell but has yet to truly find a niche with an adventuring party – due to his previously solitary nature. Fate has decreed he needs to work with an already assembled group and privately he’s worried how he’ll be treated by the others.

Background Spoiler:

Corvus has a positive game-face when people want to know about him. His background is certainly believable and is in no way a lie. Nor is it the whole truth.
In fact Corvus is quite shameful that for a wizard of his abilities he knows so few spells. His travelling was in part to locate a spellbook or two but, to date, he’s never found one – or found a fellow wizard willing to share spells. It is this willingness to find new magic that is his key driver in wishing to join an adventuring party.
The other aspect that Corvus is less than happy to share is his awareness of his own mortality. Elves live long lives and back in the forest he grew up in, he could expect many, many decades spent in relative safety. Joining an adventuring party means putting himself in harm’s way. This is one of the reasons he has chosen to learn as little direct offensive magic as possible. Casting Bull’s Strength makes a fellow adventurer more powerful – and an even greater target for the adversary. Summoning a monster again gives any foes a natural target. Corvus knows that casting acid dart for instance, will draw attention to himself and put him in line for an attack. Instead he will lurk at the back, provide well-needed support and avoid getting ‘squished’ as he puts it!
