Corvo Attano

"Corvo Attano. My, what a guy he is. I bet the Preschool Girls can be saved by the one and only Royal Protector, Corvo himself. I bet he won't betray the Empire of the Isles ever again since he's too loyal for that!"

--Su Ji-Hoon, Introducing Corvo

Corvo Attano is the protagonist of a video game, Dishonored, and one of the two playable protagonists of its sequel, Dishonored 2. Previously the Royal Protector and secret paramour to Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, Corvo is framed for the Empress' assassination, stripped of his title and imprisoned by the usurper to the throne of the Empire, Lord Regent Hiram Burrows. Corvo escapes and becomes a vigilante assassin for the Loyalist Conspiracy, using the powers granted to him by the Outsider to eliminate Burrows' confederates, clear his name, avenge the Empress' death and restore their abducted daughter Emily to the throne.
