House Corvus

The House of Corvus is young noble house of Scintilla. From
its seat in the Citadel of Morn in Hive Sibellus, it labors to
increase their power and prestige amongst the haughty and
insular elite. The House of Corvus has only existed for seven
decades. Before its coming to Sibellus, it was simply a branch
line of Traak, a merchant clan from far Mandragora Sector.
Its fortune made by unknown means, it has established itself
with every trapping of old Sibellian nobility: its name, its
symbol of a crows wing, its great and echoing mausoleums
waiting for the dead, and the death-masked vassals all are
a lie of established nobility---a lie of which the House of
Corvus is all too conscious.
Desperate to become a respected and acknowledged power,
the House of Corvus pursues wealth and power with a brutal
and unsubtle hunger. These strutting bullies of the Scintillan
elite use the methods of the gutter crime lord---extortion and
theft from those weaker than themselves. As much as they
crave to be feared and respected, they fear the true powers
of the Calixian elite. The House of Corvus has long sought
a key to true power that will place it above its enemies and
grant its members the status they crave. Therefore, the nobles
of the House of Corvus desperately seek the treasures of the
Haarlock legacy, spurred on by their need to keep the knives
of their enemies from their throats.
