HISTORY
=========================================

Corvus Albistiel was born in an average village. He was orphaned at a young age due to a plague that took both of his parents. He was raised in the temple by the priests that lived there. Living in the temple elevated him to the same status as the priests, the highest class in the village. As he grew, Corvus became accustomed to the respect and privilege that he received. Although he was raised with much privilege, he also underwent rigorous training to learn the ways of the gods and magic. Eventually, he got too cocky. He decided that he was no longer satisfied with simply worshiping gods, he wanted to be a god. In fact, he took his horns as a sign that he was a god, sent down to live among the mortals. Corvus soon set about a task which he thought would finally ascertain his position; the making of his wings. He poured every ounce of his knowledge into the beautifully crafted wings. The metal framework was delicately forged and shaped, every snow-white feather attached by hand, and finally, he infused the pair with all of the magic that his years of training had gifted him, creating the most powerful and magical objects he had ever seen. Once he finished his masterpiece, he attached the wings to his shoulders by magic. The day he finally set flight he flew far and wide, glimpsing from great height fantastic places of both beauty and horror, places, he was sure, which had never been seen by human eyes. When he arrived back at the temple he flew high above, for all to see, to proclaim himself as the new patron god, there to protect and defend them. As he flew above the village he watched a single white feather fall lazily downwards and his wings began to burn. His time as a god had run out. Had he flown too close to the sun? Were the gods punishing him? Or was it because humans aren't meant to fly... and that's all he ever really was, human. Perhaps, if he had double-checked his work, he would have seen a small, seemingly insignificant magical rune that was missing an equally small, and seemingly insignificant line. Alas, the fireball that was once the magnificent Corvus Albistiel fell.

Due to the incident, Corvus lost his entire left arm and all that was left of his wings was the metal framework on the same side. It was only by the healing skill of the priests that Corvus had survived at all. He crafted himself a mechanical arm using the same skills he had once used to build the cursed wings. And he attached the remaining wing to the arm to serve as a constant reminder of what he had once become. The fate of his fall taught him a humility he had never known before. He decided that it was his job to spread peace and rid the world of evil in the name of the gods. He gave up his life to his faith and his mission. He left his village and traveled from village to village throwing himself into danger and creating temples to further his mission. He preferred to travel alone, knowing that his work is far too dangerous for others to join him. But through his journeys, he managed to pick up three companions, a healer, a warrior, and a scout. The group soon became inseparable. Corvus does not carry a weapon and instead uses magic, killing only when he has to. He often does a lot of healing as well. Corvus portrays himself as a valiant, somewhat cocky hero to the masses, but his friends have seen that he can become so consumed with his mission that he feels he needs to throw himself into danger; that every life is worth 10 times his own.
