Corvo's life is filled with training and learning for all sorts of situations, from the mind-numbingly normal to the utterly bizarre. As such, Corvo has developed into a rather resourceful individual. This has made Corvo a mix of academic and scholar, always with something to offer to any discussion. However, knowledge and training does not always translate well to the tense environment of the battlefield, and no amount of textbooks can prepare one for reality...

Like all true Sith, Corvo was born into the Order and reared under the tutelage of an old Sith Alchemist. He has never been corrupted by other teachings and was never weakened by the Jedi Order or its dogmatic moral code, a servant to military doctrine and showmanship, or a slave to teachings that do not correlate with those of the Sith. A purist, Corvo views other Orders as inferior, causing a stir in those who chose to walk a different path, giving him a narrow focus in terms of viewpoints.

The Sith rely on their passions to give them strength. Corvo thinks inwards, only of things that matter to him, and always does what is in his best interests. He feels nothing about hurting others, or exploiting opportunities, and believes himself to be special, and above all others.

Corvo likes to engage in detailed discussions and think through situations carefully, often collaborating with others to seek their opinions before deciding on the best course of action. While this often ensures Corvo is more fair and well-respected amongst his peers, sometimes others do not have time to discuss this in a committee.

Corvo works hard to maintain an image of fierce tenacity despite being of a smaller stature. To that extent, Corvo has learned to not take jabs about his stature offensively, but to instead burn them quietly as fuel for his inner spirit. The flame that is sparked as a result is controlled by Corvo's discipline of never overestimating his own abilities or those of his opponents. He has trained to fully utilize his size as an advantage when fighting larger opponents. He knows exactly how to leverage his weight to deliver the most effective take downs or maneuvers. The effort to maintain this image can be draining at times, and when outmatched or overwhelmed, Corvo becomes susceptible to a loss of spirit.

Corvo wears out his opponents through use of the Force, agility, and evasion. Once he has sufficiently tired his foes through the Force, physical, or mental assault, he quickly tries to find a means of cleanly and swiftly dispatching them - usually resulting in a somewhat risky all-or-nothing attempt at a deathblow.
