Lore

The most difficult decisions test even the strongest of wills, but his will has never wavered, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. He is Corvus, The Magistrate’s Blade. He is the son of Karne, the powerful leader of the Magistrate, but it is by his own merit that he has earned the absolute loyalty of his men and instilled fear in his enemies.

A charismatic leader and brilliant tactician, Corvus will stop at nothing to see his goals realized: a peace to surpass that of the Golden Age, under the Magistrate’s rule. With the near-limitless energy of the Abyss, bent to his iron will, and those soldiers still loyal to his vision of peace, he is doing what no other is capable of. By his own strength, the Resistance will fall, and peace will be forged for the Realm’s citizens, with or without their cooperation.

Summary

Corvus functions similarly to Jenos, both being able to give minor buffs to their allies using their healing abilities. Corvus is capable of healing allies that are out of sight using Mark of Fate, although his healing is reduced and he has to have an ally in his line of sight. Placing a Mark of Fate on a frontline is essential as healing a marked ally will not only increase heals given but reduce the cooldown of Abyssal Reconstruction by 1 second, allowing for more healing. Projection allows him to escape tight situations and gives him one of the best mobility options that many supports lack. Corvus lacks offensive potential in his main kit, and should avoid approaching targets that are aware of him, unless running his stun talent, Stunning Visage. To avoid being killed, Corvus should stick near corners, allies, or areas that players can use Projection effectively to escape. His ultimate is good for zoning specific chokepoints and pressuring enemies off a point or payload for a moment. Since Entropic Breach deals percentile damage, it can also be used as a finishing blow against opponents with low health. Entropic Breach is also effective as a zoning ultimate during team-fights, usually to slow down or prevent enemies from retreating. Using Chronos is required to play Corvus as a healer, as the reduced cooldown will greatly aid him in his healing.

• Other

• While not explicitly stated in his bio, as mentioned here, Corvus was kicked out of the Magistrate after he had been tricked into summoning Raum.
• Vivian was originally going to mock Corvus for being kicked out, but it was later decided to have her join him due to seeing use in Corvus, as revealed here. As also stated there, Vivian probably doesn't like Corvus, while he probably doesn't trust her.
• Corvus is the one responsible for releasing the Darkness in Atlas' timeline, as can be seen here, as well as officially confirmed here.
• Despite it potentially seeming otherwise, as stated here, Corvus wholeheartedly believes in his goal of ensuring the future of the Realm.
• Corvus looks up to his father, Karne, due to all the good and hard work he's done towards making a civil Realm, as stated here.
• As mentioned here, Corvus initially didn't tamper much with the Abyss in respect of his father's ideals, at least until he became desperate enough and listened to Seris.
• Corvus is the one controlling Terminus, as stated here.
• Magistrate's Archives is Corvus' personal study, as stated here.
• Corvus obtained his knife by constantly encountering the Abyss and doing research on it, as stated here. Seris had nothing to do with him obtaining his abilities, as stated here and here.
• Corvus originally worked with the Outer Tribunal, and originally started working with the supernatural after receiving a medal related to his work regarding it, as stated here.
  • As also implied here, Corvus may have worked with Lex and Androxus, possibly also being present when Androxus was cursed.
  • It was stated here that Corvus' time with the Tribunal shaped his early life.
  • His Exemplar skin may be how he appeared during his time with the Tribunal, as implied here, the skin is of Corvus prior to joining the Magistrate, which would likely be during his time at the Outer Tribunal.
  • Corvus' default skin features a modified Outer Tribunal symbol under the cloak on his back, as stated here. This can be seen more clearly here.
• When Corvus uses Projection, the indicator showing where he'll teleport to features the same symbol that appears when Talus uses Rune of Travel.
• According to the card Ominous Relic, Corvus obtained his necklace during a crystal raid.
• Scars can be seen on Corvus' body in the cards Battle-Ready and somewhat in Unexpected as a result of Io's attacks against him from her card Protectors.
• Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Corvus would be around 5'6 or 170cm tall.

• Corvus is present in Io's card Protectors and Raum's card Desperation, both prior to Corvus' reveal as a champion.
• Corvus appears alongside Seris and Terminus in Yagorath's card The Great Worm.
• Terminus and Vivian are present in the cards Grand Design and Magistrate's Might, with Cassie and Sha Lin being present in the latter card as well.
• Raum is present in the cards New Resolve and Unexpected, as a small broken figure in the latter.
  • Seris is also present as a small broken figure in Unexpected as well.
• Cassie, Tyra, Koga, Grover, and Valera are present in the card Priority Targets as pictures.
• Karne is present in the card Crushing Expectations as a statue.
• Corvus appears in The Rise of Furia lore cinematic, Atlas, Io, and Raum's teaser trailers, all prior to his reveal as a champion.
• The destroyed village of Seris seems to appear in the card Abyssal Effluxion. Corvus' previous design from the Rise of Furia lore cinematic also appears in this card, albeit with some differences.
• Strix, Tyra, Viktor (modern design), and Vivian all appear in Corvus' teaser trailer.
• Corvus is one of the only default characters to mention Karne by name (▶️), as well as a once more as "Father" (▶️). He shares this trait with Vora and Overlord Khan.
• Corvus appears in the Unstable Power avatar.
• He also appears in the Paladins' 3rd Birthday spray.
• He makes another appearance in the Hallowed Corvus avatar.
• Corvus also appears on various pieces of Paladins merchandise featuring the Heal the World artwork.

• One of Corvus' jokes "I have the power of the Abyss and Magistrate on my side! Aaaaaaaaaah!" (▶️) is a reference to a famous vine where an adolescent menacingly tells a person off-camera that they have "the power of god and anime on his side". The video ends with him screaming.

• The video can be seen here.

• Another of Corvus' jokes "Summon an Abyssal Lord they said, it would be fun, they said." (▶️) is a reference to a phrase commonly seen in older memes.
• Yet another of Corvus' jokes "Look, it's a nice coat, yes, but what I wear DOESN'T DEFINE ME!" (▶️) may be a reference to how prior to Corvus' name being decided on, the developers had nicknamed him "coat guy", as revealed here.
• Corvus wielding a knife in-game may possibly be a reference to his most accepted fanmade name prior to his official reveal, with said fanname being "Knaifu the Waifu Stealer" or "Knaifu" for short; a name created due to Corvus' initial appearance featuring him with a knife, along with his "stealing" of Abby.
• The line "Power overwhelming!" (▶️) may be a reference to a line from StarCraft II.
• The line "I do what I must, because I can." (▶️) may be a reference to a line from the song Still Alive from the game Portal.

• As shown here, one of the initial proposals for Corvus suggested him as a Damage champion, and also featured him wielding a railgun.
• Several early concepts of Corvus can be seen here.
  • Weapon concepts can also be seen here.
• Pre-final concepts for Corvus show a few differences from his final design, seemingly possessing a "Shadow Walk" ability, and enemies affected by Entropic Breach temporarily gaining a pair of horns.
• Concepts of Corvus' cards show an unused piece of artwork featuring a shirtless Corvus in what appears to be the destroyed village of Seris, struggling to grasp his Abyssal knife.
• There are a number of skin concepts for Corvus that ultimately went unused; these include the Abyssal Prince, Magistrate Royal Guard, Shadow Stalker, Thousand Hands, Dragon Slayer, Plague Doctor, Pyre Redeemer, Lych, Pyre "Echo Champ" Calleb, and Vampire skins.
  • The Pyre Redeemer skin ultimately became Pyre-Lord Magnus, and was seemingly also fused with the Pyre "Echo Champ" Caleb skin to a degree.
  • The Vampire skin meanwhile would ultimately become the Count and Midnight Royal skins.

• As revealed here, as well as mentioned numerous other times such as here, Corvus was not initially meant to be a recurring character, but instead a generic Magistrate officer.
• Part of the reason Corvus' design changed from his initial appearance had to do with making him more suited to do actions a playable character could do, with an example being how running would be difficult for him in his original appearance, as stated here.
• Corvus, Dutchman Makoa, Mernos Jenos, Battlesuit Godslayer Androxus, and Berserker Torvald are all voiced by the same person (Ricco Fajardo).
• While inspecting Corvus' knife, Seris can be heard saying "It's been awhile... friend."

• Two of Seris voice lines were used for this. (▶️ ▶️)

• As Karne's son, Corvus is the fifth champion added to the game who is confirmed to be related to another canon character (The others being Seris & Furia and Lex & Atlas).
  • Corvus is the only one to not be related to another playable character.
• Corvus and Jenos's skin Mernos have somewhat related "Curses!" VGS Command, owing to the fact that they are both voiced by Ricco Fajardo.
  • "Abyss take it!" (▶️ Corvus) - "Currents take it!" (▶️ Mernos Jenos)
• Corvus' default skin features his iconic large collar, however, an alternate version of the default splash art exists, showing Corvus without his collar, which can be seen here.
• In an effort to promote Corvus prior to his release, special packages were sent out to various Paladins influencers between March 23rd, 2019, and March 26th, 2019. Each influencer was sent a small box, containing a large number of purple crystals, as well as a few in a jar, alongside a unique letter. Each letter can be read here. The influencers included in this promotion were Jay Flare, Supabounce, Vex30k, and Incinsion.
• While somewhat similar-looking, Corvus is not present in Octavia's trailer, with the soldiers present being generic Magistrate soldiers, as stated here.
  • As also mentioned there, Corvus was the template for these soldiers.

• Exemplar

• Exemplar is a person or thing that serves as a typical role model.
• As implied here, this skin shows Corvus prior to him joining the Magistrate, likely during the time he was part of the Outer Tribunal. While it's not explicitly stated it's this skin in particular, with Corvus' only other skins at the time being the "what-if" Abyssal Acolyte and the Echo Skin Magnus, it leaves only the Exemplar skin remaining.

• Abyssal Acolyte

• An Acolyte is one who assists and/or follows in religious services and beliefs. In this case, Corvus would be an acolyte for the Abyss.
• As mentioned here, this skin is a "what-if" version of Corvus showing him if he fully embraced the Abyss.

• Pyre-Lord Magnus

• Pyre-Lord Magnus is one of the few skins that is considered an "Echo Champion", alongside Remix Pepper and Ripjaw Buck; an Echo Champion being an alternate reality version of the original champion, as can be heard here.
  • It was later stated here that Magnus is a "What-If" version of Corvus that was given power the same way Furia was. This makes Magnus both an Echo and "What-If" skin.
• As his name would seem to suggest, Magnus is a Pyre-Lord, similarly to how Raum is an Abyssal Lord.
  • Though it was stated that Magnus is a servant of the Pyre, possibly implying he isn't a Pyre-Lord after all.
• Magnus' design is reminiscent of armored Magistrate soldiers often seen with Corvus, such as in the Rise of Furia lore cinematic, and Corvus' cards Battle-Ready and Shadow Tribunal.
• The symbol that appears when this skin uses its ultimate is a combination of the Pyre's own symbol, as well as the symbol for the ultimate charge power-up that appears on the Dragon Arena and Abyss TDM maps.
• The lines talking about "Balance" along with the angelic theme of the skin might be a reference to the archangel Raguel, always referred to as the archangel of justice, fairness and harmony which are related to an overall Balance and also the archangel of vengeance and redemption.
• This skin shares its theme with Fallen Androxus, Archangel Tyra, Pyre Warrior Drogoz, Eternal Retribution Koga, Dark Retribution Koga, Eternal Conflict Lian, Dark Conflict Lian, Eternal Guardian Khan, Dark Guardian Khan, Eternal Fervor Jenos, and Dark Fervor Jenos.

• Count / Midnight Royal

• The line "I am one of the most powerful beings in this realm, and they just keep asking me to take my shirt off! Seriously!" (▶️) references how many community members on certain social media sites express their intense desire for Corvus to take his shirt off.
• The teaser for these skins is a reference to the movie The Vampire.
• While difficult to see in-game, the medallion on these skins' hips feature an icon of Day Walker Vivian on the Count skin, while the Midnight Royal skin features an image of a unique vampire Zhin. These Easter Eggs can be seen here.
• The Count skin appears in the That Damned Smile avatar.
• The Count skin also appears in the You Challenged Me?! spray.
• These skins share their theme with Temptress Skye, Devilish Skye, Pumpkin Patch Rei, and Bare Bones Dredge.
