Personality and Traits

”You know Corvus, I’ve known you for quite some time now and you’ve still never said a single word to me. Why is that?”

”........”

”....okay, to be honest, I should’ve expected that.”

”You really should’ve, yes.”

—Atlas-7 (attempting to talk to Corvus) and Corvus-9’s Ghost, Kunai.

Corvus is well known to be a man of very, very few words. In fact, nearly all the time, he is silent and mute, and whenever he does actually speak, his sentences are as laconic as possible. Even then, he rarely ever talks to anyone at all but Kunai, in private without anyone else within earshot. To others, his Ghost mainly does all the talking for him.

He is a very cold and reserved person in general, and almost never forms any serious emotional attachment to other people apart from a select few. He is willing to work in a Fireteam with fellow Guardians, but keeps a purely professional distance about him, and focuses on getting the job done as soon as possible, with little time for distractions. When not serving in a Fireteam, Corvus mainly operates as a scout, either for the Vanguard or to satisfy his own curiosity and boredom.

Corvus has demonstrated humility and bravery, willing to strike down even the most dangerous threats with little hesitation, and never questions the deeds he does or who he’s doing them for. Despite this, he also demonstrates caution and incredible patience when needed.

On a more darker note, Corvus’ sense of empathy and caring appears to be only limited to who he regards as a close friend, who he can be quite protective of at times. While he will also go out of his way to aid a stranger in need, he will usually only do so if it benefits him or his friends in some way. This attitude extends towards how he responds to authority; he will only do so if it benefits him or if he sees no real reason to disobey. He will also not hesitate to shoot any enemy of the City on sight, with zero hesitation, question or remorse. Indeed, wordless violence is often the first thing he will ever resort to when confronted with anyone he sees as an enemy.

Corvus never goes anywhere without his helmet covering his face. Both he and his Ghost refuse to explain why this is.

Gameplay

Corvus primarily wields the Nightstalker Subclass into battle. His main choice of weaponry is a fully automatic Pulse Rifle, a Solar Shotgun, and an Arc Machine Gun.
