Corvin

"An Arcanic lord, First Watchman of the Court and Commander of the Inner Wall. He is loyal to the Dusk but has willingly defied their orders because of his desire to protect Maika and his belief that she can and will serve a greater purpose."Corvin D'Oro is a powerful Arcanic lord and a supporting character in Monstress. The First Watchman of the Dusk Court and Commander of the Inner wall, Corvin is a survivor of the Battle of Constantine. He is tasked with containing or destroying the power within Maika Halfwolf, though he seems to have a change of heart and believes she can be a force to save the world.

Personality
Corvin is an honorable, skilled warrior who is duty-bound to his mission, his court, and the fate of the known world.

He has a chivalrous attitude, only referring to Maika as Lady Halfwolf and polite to his superiors. He's loyal to his friends, even if he doesn't agree with their plans and genuinely wants to save the Arcanic race.

As a child, he was a perfectionist––never learning to laugh in order to please his parents. At disappointing his elders, he shed his feathers for weeks from the stress. His sisters collected all of his feathers and placed them in a box for him.

Appearance
Corvin is a raven Arcanic with large black wings and long black hair. The right side of his face is covered by a mask. His attire is similar to what others from the night watch wear; it is mostly black cloth with metal armaments protecting various areas and appendages.

Background
Corvin grew up in poverty "chewing rocks" –– the son of a common soldier and an Ancient in full power. At birth, he was ordained by the oracles to kill the incarnation of the Shaman-Empress and save the world, along with Tuya.

He was present at the Battle of Constantine, retreating with his older sister's forces before the side of his face was burned by the infernal explosion when he turned to look at the city one last time.

Volume 1
Corvin kills the platoon of Federation soldiers who stole the fragment of the Shaman-Empress's mask from Maika Halfwolf. The Dusk Court has broken their silence, and he is sent to lead her north. He leads Maika into an ambush, where she is captured and put to sleep in a sarcophagi. Corvin goes to look for Ren, who escaped before the ambush. He finds him with a young fox girl, Kippa, who tells him that she can hear and see the monster that dwells in Maika.

When he returns to the Dusk Court hiding spot, the Cumaea have attacked. He defends Maika and the Baroness, just before Maika awakes from her artificial slumber to fight the Mother Superior.

Corvin, Kippa, and Ren hide in the broken sarcophagi that protects them when Maika unleashes the monster's power. While the rest of the Dusk Court is knocked out, he takes Maika and her group to his personal Swift. He believes that the Dusk Court should not be the ones to decide her faith and allows her to escape, lying to the Baroness that his Swift was taken.
