Corvo has a sick sense of humor, viewing the world through dark colored glass. He has a biting sense of black humor, often laughing at things that most people would find reprehensible or down right soul crushing. As a result, those that are not used to his brand of humor often find Corvo downright unbearable or overly morbid. At the same time, his cynicism can be useful for seeing through the optimistic altruism of those he encounters.

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...

Corvo is not afraid to exploit any advantage or position of power he has when dealing with others, and relies on a combination of fear, intimidation, manipulation and shows of strength to convince others to compromise and lose. Corvo can be quite callous in his dealings with others, and never gives up his power. This has earned Corvo with the reputation of a “bully” and can often make negotiations difficult before they even begin.

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 is utterly devoted to success in combat, no matter the mission, no matter the cost. He has spent his life building himself in the image of war, utilizing a dogmatic regimen that has led him to a single-minded obsession with military success and requires intense physical and mental training. This training, however, has come at the cost of anything resembling empathy or concern for others - even his superiors and subordinates.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Corvo has turned the act of dueling into an art form. A keen eye and attention to detail allows him the ability to learn their opponent's idiosyncrasies while fighting. Corvo then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, Corvo has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.
