Corvus: Difference between revisions

|Game={{Dragon Quest IX}}

'''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}}.

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.

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 Celestrians 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 Celestrians.
