Background

Raymond was born to the prestigious House Cornwell in Caelin. He grew close to his sister, Priscilla, but she was later adopted by Count Caerleon of Etruria. The turning point of Raymond's life was when his parents died mysteriously after losing their peerage in the Lycian League. Raymond was filled with rage and desired someone to take out his revenge on. Hearing rumors connecting Ostia to the assassination, Raymond dedicated himself to killing anyone from House Ostia, in revenge. He changed his name to Raven. The full story, unknown to Raven, is that Cornwell had lost its peerage due to stealing money from the League, and afterwards the marquess and his wife killed themselves. Lucius, a former servant for House Caelin, remained with Raven and traveled alongside him while constantly tried to talk sense into him. The two became freelance soldiers in Caelin's army.

Raven was first seen in "Whereabouts Unknown" (Eliwood Chapter 16, Hector Chapter 17). He and Lucius had been taken prisoner by the Laus soldiers who were invading Caelin, and they were held imprisoned in Caelin's prison. Raven was able to leave the dungeon by joining with the Laus soldiers in battle with Eliwood's group, hoping to seize this opportunity to attack Marquess Ostia's brother Hector who was among the group. But if he is confronted by Priscilla, a reunion after they had been separated for ten years, Raven will change his mind and work with Eliwood and Hector's group. Raven covered up this show of affection for his sister by telling Lucius that he was merely trying to get closer to the enemy.

Possible Fates

Raven has two possible endings, depending on whether or not he gets an A Rank Support with Lucius.

• Default Ending- Raven vanished without a word. There were unconfirmed sightings of Raven in Araphen (where Lucius builds an orphanage in his default ending) afterwards.
• Lucius and Raven's Ending- After the final battle, Raven revealed his past to Hector. Hector offered to rebuild his home, but Raven refused and continued his mercenary career with Lucius. Raven's heart was now eased, to Lucius's delight.

Support Conversation Summaries

Raven is capable of having Support conversations with five other characters.

• Bartre-
• Lucius- Lucius attempted to persuade Raven to stopping his campaign of revenge against House Ostia, but Raven refused and asked Lucius to leave. But Lucius said that without House Cornwell, he had no home to go to anymore and began to get angry at Raven. Raven then revealed that he wanted Lucius and Priscilla to leave because they were the last of his family, and he did not want them to suffer a similar fate to his parents, then he apologized for his harshness. Raven then saw clearly and decided to talk things over with House Ostia after the adventure was over, and to continue searching for the answers to his parents' killers. Raven then told Lucius that he wanted him to stay home so that he had someone to come home to. Lucius suggested that he instead got married so that Raven could come home to her and travel with him, but Raven said that he didn't need the jabbering that came with a wife, saying that he already got enough jabbering with Lucius.
• Priscilla-
• Rebecca-
• Wil-
