Corvus first appears at the end of Invader, paired with threeSangheilicomrades, where she encounters Cayde Jasper waking up from a coma. She tells Jasper to be at ease before revealing her red energy sword and attacking him.
Corvus is a general for The Damned, a raider group who is determined to awaken Starbreaker, an ancient Forerunner she believed to still be alive in captivity.
First seen at the end of Deception, Corvus and herthreecomrades took control of Outpost High Ground. When a SPARTAN-IV showed up with five robot soldiers, Corvus sniped him in the face and imprisoned the robots. When the robots reactivate in Ambush, Corvus recruited them to join The Damned. While the robots agreed to join her cause, everyone but her and Pink were eliminated by Emery Eden. Narrowly escaping by driving her mongoose into the ocean, it is unknown where she or Pink are.
Her appearance, voice filter, and sword color were inspired by Darth Vader, the main antagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy.
Her name means "raven" in Latin, in reference to her dark color scheme like the dark feathers of a raven.
While she wore the Mirage chest plate and Security shoulder pads in WarGames, she now wears the Tanker chest plate with EVA shoulder pads while retaining her EOD helmet. Her voice portrayal also differs from that series, with Syp wanting her to sound more robotic and inhuman.
