BACKGROUND
From an early age, Corvus was destined for life as a priest. Pious as a child, she was fortunate enought to be noticed by an abbot that was on his way to take charge of a monastery. The abbot convinced Corvus' parents to release her to his keeping - as she was no doubt destined to join the Order of the Keeping.
Alas, the abbot was not virtuous and groomed the young Corvus - as he did with many pretty young girls he had convinced families to hand over to the the church.
Corvus knew the teachings of Morrow were not congruous with how she was being treated - and when a new young girl was brought to the monastery and was abused by the abbot, Corvus saw this as her 'Volition.'
She considered her beliefs of Morrow and decided that the acts occuring at the monstery were not appropriate and she confronted the abbot. He laughed at her; then beat her and promised to rape her. She picked up a nearby candlestick and calmly bludgeoned him to death.
Corvus knew her version of events would not be believed but she also refused to turn her back on Morrow. Once more, she faced a moral dilemma. Deciding to act in a selfless way and believing it was her duty to protect others, she took up the role of a virtuous avenger.
Running from the monastery, she looked for wrongs to right when others would turn a blind eye.
This led to a life as a vigilante assassin. When those who transgressed were above the law, she saw that justice were done. Before long, she found herself in a prison cell, where she happened upon Joran and Cole...
GENERAL
Many people would pigeon-hole Corvus as a rogue, but she sees herself more as a stealthy assassin, and has tried to develop her skills that way. She takes on contracts that require someone to be eliminated - but she never seeks payment. Her lack of strength means she always plans to get close to her victim and will use stealth or her charisma to achieve that 'kill.'
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
As young women go, Corvus is tall and thin. With her tendency to dress in shades of grey and with her pale skin, long, straight dark hair and pale grey eyes; she looks gaunt and at times almost ill.
She may not be strong, but she is agile and uses this to compensate when others underestimate her abilities. She's smart and also charming when it suits her.
