Name: Corvus (Latin for “raven”) Alias: The Plague Warden, The Silent Watcher, The Raven Keeper Species: Unknown (possibly human, spirit, or something in between) Age: Unknown Height: Approximately 6’2” (188 cm) Appearance Corvus is a mysterious figure concealed almost entirely beneath heavy charcoal-black robes that drape to the ground in layered folds. His hood is always drawn low, swallowing his face in shadow and revealing little more than the pale beaked mask he wears. The mask resembles the long, elegant skull of a plague doctor, smooth ivory in color with subtle signs of age and wear. Thin cracks trace across its surface, suggesting it has witnessed years—perhaps centuries—of hardship. Only one eye is visible beneath the hood: a small golden iris that glows faintly from the darkness. Whether it belongs to a human or something far older is impossible to tell. The rest of his body remains hidden beneath thick sleeves and dark fabric, making his true build difficult to judge. His movements are slow, deliberate, and unnervingly silent, as though he glides rather than walks. A large black raven is rarely far from his side. It often perches calmly on his arm or shoulder, watching the world with the same quiet intensity as its master. The bird appears unusually intelligent, responding to subtle gestures instead of spoken commands. His overall silhouette is imposing yet elegant, defined by deep shadows, flowing robes, and the stark contrast of the white mask against endless black. Wherever he stands, he gives the impression that he belongs to another time. ⸻ Personality Corvus is reserved, patient, and almost impossible to read. He speaks only when necessary, choosing each word with care and purpose. Though many fear him at first glance, he is not cruel. Instead, he possesses a quiet compassion that reveals itself through actions rather than comforting words. He values knowledge over power and understanding over judgment. Rather than rushing into conflict, he prefers to observe, gathering every detail before making a decision. His calm demeanor rarely falters, even in dangerous situations. Those fortunate enough to earn his trust discover someone deeply loyal and quietly protective. While he keeps others at arm’s length, he would willingly place himself in harm’s way for the few people he considers family. ⸻ Strengths * Exceptionally observant * Calm under extreme pressure * Strategic and analytical thinker * Patient and disciplined * Commands respect through presence alone Weaknesses * Emotionally distant * Burdens himself with responsibility * Finds it difficult to trust others * Prefers solitude, sometimes to his own detriment * Can become consumed by the past ⸻ Likes * Ravens and crows * Quiet forests * Rainfall and overcast skies * Ancient books and forgotten knowledge * The sound of wind through abandoned places Dislikes * Needless cruelty * Loud crowds * Broken promises * Greed and corruption * Being underestimated ⸻
