'''Corvus''' is a character and the chief antagonist in {{DQ9}}.

He is a [[Celestrian]] and was formerly [[Aquila]]'s mentor and the lover of {{Serena 9}}.

==Appearance and personality==
Before his fall from grace, Corvus was a tall blond [[Celestrian]] with blue eyes, and wore the standard [[Celestrian]] armor. Corvus was a kind and tenacious guardian, refusing to let anything happen to [[Wormwood Creek]] or {{Serena 9}}. Corvus was also very powerful, being able to drive away soldiers from the [[Gittish Empire]] with devastating lightning bolts.

When Corvus was captured and imprisoned by the [[Gittish Empire]], his appearance changed drastically. His skin turned green and his eyes were now orange. His wings also turned green, and became more bat-like. He grew claws and horns and wore tattered rags. Corvus also grew wicked and became bitter towards mortals, Gods, and Celestrians, and vowed to kill them all.

When Corvus transformed into a demon, his body became much more lanky and skin turned to a darker shade of green. His horns grew larger and now had demon wings. His eyes became orange and yellow, grew a long thin tail, and grew thicker claws and toenails. Lastly, he wore golden armor pieces. Corvus, now fully corrupted, was at his strongest and hellbent on destroying everything in his path.

==Story==
{{spoiler|start}}
Corvus was originally the [[Celestrian]] guardian of [[Wormwood Creek]]. While protecting it, he is injured by the [[Gittish Empire]] and able to be visibly seen by the humans living there. He develops a relationship with {{Serena 9}} while he is healing.

When the [[Gittish Empire]] returns to attack the town, Corvus attempts to go and meet them in battle. However, {{Serena 9}}, fearing for Corvus' health, convinces him to go and hide in a cave while her father attempts to thwart the empire. Once in the cave, Corvus decides that he must go and attempt to protect the village, even if it kills him. {{Serena 9}} offers him a potion which she claims will help heal him, but is instead of a sleeping potion. Corvus drinks it only to become incapacitated as the imperial troops enter the cave. Her father betrays him and {{Serena 9}} by allowing the [[Gittish Empire]] to take Corvus to maintain Wormwood's safety. When Corvus wakes up for a little bit he hears Gittish soldiers thanking the old man for complying and believes {{Serena 9}} gave him the sleeping drought to capture him.  {{Serena 9}} and her father are murdered with Corvus powerless to stop the empire's men. He is then taken captive by the empire.

Corvus is taken to [[Oubliette]] which is the prison deep beneath [[Gittingham Palace]]. There, he is completely forgotten by his peers. He develops a deep resentment against humans, including {{Serena 9}} whom he believes betrayed him. While being imprisoned, Corvus' evil power grows until he becomes powerful enough to strike the [[Realm of the Almighty]] and greatly injuring its king, Zenus, and forcing him into seclusion. He also revives [[Barbarus]], the evil dragon killed by [[Greygnarl]] some 300 years earlier. Although he has become ultra-powerful, he remains in prison in the [[Gittish Empire]], allowing the empire to pursue his goal of destroying humans and [[Celestrian]]s alike.

When finally confronted by the {{Hero 9}}. Corvus attacks the {{Hero 9}}'s {{Party 9}} realizing that the {{Hero 9}} is unable to attack him due to his superior rank as a [[Celestrian]]. He then ascends with [[Barbarus]] to the [[Realm of the Almighty]], corrupting it into the [[Realm of the Mighty]].

Aided by the ghost of {{Serena 9}}, the {{Hero 9}} ascends to the [[Realm of the Mighty]], defeating Corvus by becoming mortal and battling him. Corvus is surprised by the {{Hero 9}}'s newly found mortality, and seals himself in a chrysalis of dark energy. The {{Hero 9}} confronts Corvus, but Corvus sends [[Barbarus]] to attack the {{Hero 9}} in his stead. After [[Barbarus]]' defeat, Corvus, having reached a fully demonic form (similar to Psaro's Secret of Evolution transformation) again battles the {{Hero 9}} and loses. After being defeated, he prepares an attack powerful enough to destroy everything. However, he is stopped at the last moment by {{Serena 9}}, who appears in front of him and explains to him what really happened, including how she had always been searching for him, even after her death. Moved by {{Serena 9}}'s words, Corvus realizes that he has been wrong the entire time and reverts to his [[Celestrian]] form. He then apologizes to {{Serena 9}} for thinking that she had betrayed him and thanks the {{Hero 9}}/Heroine for stopping him, acknowledging the {{Hero 9}} as [[Aquila]]'s student. Afterwards, he and {{Serena 9}} ascend into the sky and turn into stars along with the other [[Celestrian]]s.
