Corvo Attano

Corvo Attano is one of the main protagonists from the Dishonored series.
== Charactah Account ==
Corvo was the hand-chosen bodyguard of the beloved Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, given the position both for his skill and as a gesture of diplomacy - no foreigner had ever held the position before Corvo, who is from Serkonos, not Gristol. He is framed for her murder and is in prison awaiting execution when the Loyalists break him out. Soon after getting to their base, the Outsider appears in a dream and grants Corvo a mark that imbues him with supernatural abilities. Corvo sets out to find the Empress' young daughter and heir to the throne, as well as discover the answers behind Jessamine's murder and his own betrayal.
Known for his air of mystery, Corvo is a distant and reserved man, showing his emotions only to his closest companions. He is noticeably pragmatic, willing and able to exact whatever means necessary to achieve a desired end. Though he bears a title of utmost honor, he isn't opposed to wet work, conversely being completely apathetic to the spilling of blood. His willpower is unshakable and his conviction absolute; even with his name slandered twice, in both cases, he seeks primarily the restoration of the Kaldwin lineage to the throne.

== Trivia ==
* While being a silent protagonist in Dishonored, in Dishonored 2 Corvo is voiced by Stephen Russell, who is most well known for his role of Garrett from the original Thief franchise.
* "Corvo" means "crow" or "raven" in both Italian and Portuguese, deriving from the Latin word for raven, "corvus".
* Corvo's skin tone was based off of that of Raphael Colantonio.
* Corvo is the first Royal Protector to be born outside of Gristol.
* Corvo's true identity is largely unknown outside the Loyalist Conspiracy. The authorities do not realize that Corvo and the Masked Felon are the same man. However, Slackjaw hints that Corvo's true identity is known among the lower classes, stating that, "Word is all over the street," when he is encountered in Granny Rags's lair. He confirms this suspicion later in the same conversation when he calls Corvo by name.
** The Heart also confirms that Griff knows who Corvo is.
* After escaping from Coldridge Prison, wanted posters for Corvo's capture or death can be found all around Dunwall, with a reward of 30,000 coin. Others will appear after completing specific missions and killing the targets, but will only designate his masked identity. If Corvo caused low chaos, they will simply depict an unknown assailant, however in high chaos they will depict Corvo as "The Masked Felon", with his hood and mask.
** Another poster for Corvo's capture can be found during the mission Eminent Domain of the downloadable content The Knife of Dunwall, where the prize for his capture was increased to 50,000 coins. It does not reappear in the next mission and DLC, The Brigmore Witches, as opposed to the first version with the 30,000 coins reward seen during The Dead Eels.
* Corvo and the Empress occasionally enjoyed whiskey and cigars together privately.
* Corvo enjoys grilled Blood Oxen.
* Corvo was meant to receive an Official Naval Commendation for his efforts in seeking aid for the plague crisis, but it was confiscated after his arrest. It can be stolen and sold by Daud in The Brigmore Witches.
* Corvo's birth home can be located during the Dust District mission, where his Blade Verbena trophy can be found, alongside his mother's personal diary. A commemorative plaque has been erected outside the house.
* After the mission The Royal Physician in low chaos, Emily gives Corvo a drawing of him without his mask, with the word "Daddy" in large letters above it.
* In the Dishonored trailer, Corvo is shown being marked by the Outsider before his escape from Coldridge Prison.
* In medium chaos, Corvo is sometimes referred to as the "Dunwall Butcher" among plague survivors.
* Choosing to spare Daud in the mission The Flooded District was one of the hardest things Corvo had ever done, taking all of his willpower not to kill Daud outright but to banish him instead. Corvo was never sure he made the correct decision, but thinks that Daud living in fear is perhaps worse off than just being dead.
* According to Gameinformer, Corvo stands at 6'4" (1.93 meters) tall. 
** This has not been confirmed by Arkane Studios as being canonical.
* Corvo’s agile depiction was likely influenced by the popular folkloric character known as Spring-Heeled Jack prevalent during the Victorian Era. In an interview with a developer it is said that the date for Dishonored's setting (1837) was chosen since the first rumored sightings of him were circulating at that time.
