Database: Corvo Antonelli

Roman Gladiator
Born during the Renaissance, Corvo Antonelli was an Italian mercenary by day, but moonlighted as a gladiator in underground arenas of Rome that mimicked the blood sport of old.
Known in the arena as "The Crow", Corvo was deeply respected by his fellow gladiators, many of whom he had beaten but spared. He was regarded as the unofficial champion of the underground gladiatorial scene.
Corvo's path crossed with Bartolomeo d'Alviano on multiple occasions. First, by working as a mercenary in one of his companies, and then in the underground gladiator scene, as Bartolomeo's Mercenary Guild also managed the fight clubs and arenas of Rome. Taking notice of Corvo's ruthless combat abilities, and finding a kindred spirit in his proud and direct personality, Bartolomeo invited him to join the Brotherhood.
Having always chafed at the norms of hierarchy and the entitlement of nobility, the Brotherhood was a perfect fit for the rough but idealistic Corvo. His resilience and ferocious combat skills proved very useful.
