Dr. Corvo Callous

“Now you get to judge. Am I hero? Am I a criminal? Am I a companion? Am I a monster?”

  A renowned doctor from the Oreion Inquisition, Corvo reluctantly fought in the third war between the Crescent Empire and Oreion Inquisition, determined to carry on a lineage of saving lives in the field. His alchemical expertise was noticed by High Ranking Inquisitors, and he was instead used to create alchemical weapons. Corvo knew the morality of his new role was wrong, and guilt slowly ate away at his very being, until one day while doing field research he came upon a group of Crescentian Legionnaires that were heavily wounded from his fire bombs. Wishing to redeem himself, Corvo left Oreion shortly after the war's end, journeying across Arkos in an effort to use his medical expertise to heal rather than harm.   Dr. Corvo would go on to meet The Companions in the city of Brightforge, where he was treating the denizens of the city's warrens for their affliction of Black Vein. After the adventurers journeyed into the Pale Tombs and recovered a piece of G'huun the Plaguebringer for Corvo, he was able to manufacture a cure for the dwarven people.   Later on in The Companions journey, a tiefling named Angel permanently joined their ranks on their way to The Silver Isles. Encountering Corvo once again, they learned that Corvo was one of the individuals to raise Angel after his Tiefling tribe was attacked and nearly destroyed by the Vulcan Wrath Orc tribe. Following the traces of infection, Corvo journeyed into the Crescentian Underdark alongside the Companions to find the source of Black Vein and put an end to the disease once and for all. After the slaying of the vile G'huun the Plaguebringer, Corvo was able to sucessfully concoct and administer a permanent cure to the Elves of the isles.   While he remained a close personal friend to the Companions and somewhat of a father figure to Angel, Corvo was unfortunately among the first victims of The Kindling upon the return of Nex. After the victory at the Battle of the New Dawn, Angel convinced Corvo's spirit to remain on Arkos and continue to help people, as he believed the doctor's time had not yet come. After helping the citizens of Imperia, Corvo left Crescentia, and would go on to found the medical organization known as the Ironbeaks.
