Corvus

Corvus, also known as CM-0190 or One-Ninety, was a Human male Stormtrooper officer who held the military rank of Commander in the First Order. After discovering his own Force-Sensitivity, Corvus became a self-taught Dark Side Adept inspired by the Sith Order. Corvus became a Sith Acolyte after discovering the New Sith Order on Moraband, and was trained by the cult's leader, Darth Krayt.

Trooper of the First Order
He was born in 9 ABY and, like other troopers, was taken as a child to serve the First Order. The child received the designation CM-0190 and was made a Stormtrooper of the CM unit of the Stormtrooper Corps. A loyal adherent of the tenets of the First Order and a capable soldier, CM-0190 eventually became a Stormtrooper officer. Stationed on the Retribution, he served under the veteran officer Gideon Hask, who gave CM-0190 the name Corvus while participating in Project Resurrection. In 34 ABY, three members of the Resistance infiltrated the Retribution to steal First Order intelligence and eliminate Gideon Hask. During the skirmish, the Stormtroopers attempted to repel the enemy, however, they managed to defeat the Stormtroopers, and Corvus was injured during the firefight. Before he could succumb to his wounds, Corvus was taken by other Stormtroopers to the starship medical bay, where medical droids managed to stabilize him.

Stormtrooper Commander
The skirmish resulted in the deaths of Gideon Hask and Iden Versio, as well as the theft of First Order intelligence, and the Retribution damaged after the destruction of the ship’s hyperdrive. With the death of Hask, Corvus assumed command of the Retribution after recovering from his injuries. Following the destruction of Starkiller Base, multiple First Order starships that escaped were picked up by the nearby Retribution, and the survivors were added to the ship's crew. Under his leadership, the crew managed to repair the ship’s hyperdrive, and the Star Destroyer regrouped with the rest of the First Order fleet. After his promotion to the rank of Commander, Corvus was presented with a personalized set of crimson armor, and he was given command of the Retribution. Commander Corvus would participate in the galactic war between the First Order and the Resistance, mentoring and leading First Order troopers into battle against enemy forces.

Awakening Force-Sensitivity
Corvus possessed a dormant connection to the Force, a connection which began to manifest itself after the Battle of Starkiller Base. After realizing he was Force-Sensitive, Corvus began to study the legends of the Jedi and the Sith in the hopes that he could find a way to control his abilities. Corvus became inspired by the ancient tales of the Sith Order, viewing them as powerful warriors. Using the training methods of the Imperial Shadow Guard, Corvus self-taught himself how to utilize his abilities in combat, granting him enhanced reflexes. In his free time, Corvus acquired ancient relics of the Sith and continued researching their history and philosophy. With the death of Supreme Leader Snoke and Captain Phasma during the attack on the Resistance fleet, Corvus helped to fill the power vacuum and rose through the ranks. As Corvus tapped more and more into the Dark Side, his connection to the Force grew stronger, and his powers started to awaken.

New Sith Order
Corvus' search for knowledge of the Dark Side led him to the Sith planet Moraband, the ancient birthplace of the Sith, where he found a cult of Force-Sensitives calling themselves the New Sith Order. The leader of the cult, Darth Krayt, recognized Corvus' Force-Sensitivity and offered to take him as an apprentice. As a Sith Acolyte, Corvus was taught the ways of the Dark Side of the Force, the tenets of the Sith Order, and how to wield and forge a Lightsaber. Corvus split his time between serving the First Order and his Sith training, keeping the existence of the New Sith Order a secret. After his training was complete Corvus was offered a permanent place among the Sith as a Lord, however, he chose to remain with the First Order and use his position in their ranks to benefit the Sith. He maintained contact with Moraband, updating them on his status and events within the First Order. Corvus shared Krayt’s vision for the galaxy and wanted to make it a reality.

Personality and Traits
Corvus was a quiet but merciless warrior, earning the favor of his superiors. He doesn't remember much of his old life before being indoctrinated into the First Order, and so was loyal to the Order and grateful for the purpose they had given him. Corvus was often described as intelligent, methodical, calculating, ruthless and heartless. When he was a young cadet, CM-0190 heard stories about the legendary Darth Vader and his powers, stories that would inspire and motivate him throughout his formative years. Even as an adult, Darth Vader was the idol of Corvus. He believed that the seeds of the future were buried in the past, and so spent much of his spare time researching modern and ancient history. When he fought in battle, Corvus displayed no fear when confronting his enemies, standing his ground even as others fled in fear. Corvus despised the New Republic and the Resistance as much as anyone else within the First Order, if not more.

Equipment
Corvus wore a crimson set of personalized armor and a black pauldron, and utilized a crimson F-11D blaster rifle. After being taught by Darth Krayt had to forge Lightsabers, Corvus acquired a Kyber Crystal, corrupted it to his will, and used it to create his own Lightsaber.
