Physical Description: Korvin is a short and soft nobleman, the product of a life of relative luxury. He keeps his hair constantly slicked with enough oil to cook a fine Nibenese meal and dresses himself in a manner befitting a nobleman, preferring to dress in dark red cloths with few adornments. He is only in his mid twenties, though has already started graying at his temples- a family trait- and grows out a goatee in an ill-informed attempt to hide his weak chin.
Relationships: Korvin is seldom seen seperated from his hired guard, the half-giant Kindrok. Kindrok’s unassuming, trusting, and loyal behavior has endeared him to Korvin, who has grown very fond of the half-giant. The two will often share meals together, discussing the finer points of Tyrian music or the latest gladiatorial event. He has also traveled and fought alongside Quistine Silentallfor several months and has developed a tolerance for the halfling’s intensely vivacious demeanor. Though her barbaric customs and appearance still revolt Korvin, he respects her as a combatant and as an efficient companion.
History: Korvin is the youngest son of a noble family. He has received a classical Tyrian education, being one of the few people of Athas able to read and write, as well as possessing a fairly firm grasp on Athasian history and contemporary politics. He has also been taught basic dueling techniques, as many Tyrian nobles do, and prefers to carry with him the widow’s knife he was taught to wield in the same fashion that the gladiators of Balic do. He has also received an education in the musical arts, and even learned to play the baliset, though he has long been out of practice.
His eldest brother, Pica, was always destined to inherit the fortune and trade connections, and his other brother, Shrike, was placed in a diplomatic office by their father. With the family’s connections expended, Korvin was forced to go into debt with some shady individuals in order to keep subsidizing his lifestyle after he was forced to move out of the family home. He has since been travelling with Kindrok and Suldin.
