**Chancellor Corvus Crow** is the father of Morrigan, Guntram, and Wolfram Crow and a politician in Great Wolfacre.

## Biography

Corvus was presumably born into a life of privilege at Crow Manor. His brother died of a fever at a young age. Although the order of events is unknown, his father died leaving his house to his wife, Ornella. Corvus married Morrigan's mother, he entered state politics in Great Wolfacre, and he had a child on the last day of the Seventh Age of the Wintersea Republic.

### Eighth Age of the Wintersea Republic

His Eventide born daughter was put on the Registry Office for Cursed Children (ROCC). However, his political savvy meant that she didn't hurt his political career very much and might have helped it as he was continuously funding public repairs of out his own purse. Corvus' first wife died early in the Age and he married his second wife Ivy, another woman his mother did not approve of. His political career continued to advance and in the sixth year of the Age he became Chancellor. On Eventide, his cursed daughter left him.

### Ninth Age of the Wintersea Republic

Corvus' wife gave birth to two boys whom he named with Crow-themed names, following familiy tradition. He also started to make inroads into federal politics as a member of the Wintersea Party.

Corvus is desperately trying to put the memory of his daughter behind him, politically and personally (although there is little difference between the two for Corvus). Little does he know, President Wintersea is well aware of his daughter Morrigan Crow.

## Physical Appearance

Corvus has a similar appearance to Morrigan Crow, with black hair, pale skin and a crooked nose. These were some of the only things they had in common.

## Personality and Traits

Corvus is very determined and ambitious and has been very successful. He Chancellor five years before the most recent Eventide, when Morrigan was six years old, and continues to hold that office, yet he blamed her for damage to his reputation. Corvus often neglected Morrigan, having a cold demeanor towards her bemoaning her status as a cursed child. He did not protect Morrigan from the effects of the curse. He failed to see past it's perceived effect on his political career.

After Morrigan left on Eventide, he was happier and was seen enjoying the company of his wife Ivy at a Chritmas party at Crow Manor. But he continued to be possessed by a driving political ambition and a belief that the memory of Morrigan could hold him back.

Corvus spends a lot of energy not talking about things. He can't say anything about Morrigan on Eventide, and on two occasions agreed with his mother to not mention specific words ("the D-word" and "Morrigan"). He is a bit self-aware of his fault and says to an assistant "*No need to be delicate, Left*", no doubt Left will take this advice with a grain of salt.

## Abilities and Skills

Corvus Crow is a successful and savvy politian with a commanding speaking voice.

## Relationships

### Morrigan

It is obvious that Corvus dislikes Morrigan, and most likely hates her. He only uses her to promote popularity by acting as a grieving father. When Morrigan was assumed to be dead, Corvus seemed happy, and didn't care that she was gone. After her supposed death, Ivy, Grandmother, and he swore to never speak the name Morrigan again.

### Ivy

Ivy is Morrigan‘s stepmother. Corvus married her after the death of Morrigan’s mother. Corvus generally lets her handle things such as Morrigan’s coffin and his office paint color. He also lets her boss Morrigan around.

### Left & Right
