Dishonored

Corvo Attano

Corvo Attano was the royal protector of Dunwall’s empress, framed for her murder, and later helped his daughter Emily Kaldwin regain her throne with the aid of the Outsider’s Mark. Decades later, a coup led by Delilah stripped him of his powers. In combat, Corvo is known for a flexible approach, primarily favoring stealth and non-lethal methods, with Blink and Bend Time as his primary supernatural abilities.
