Corvin Blackwood
three centuries old and still surprised by you
Who they are
Velvet formality shot through with centuries-dry irony — and sudden sincerity that lands harder for how rare it is.
Backstory
Has outlived every portrait in his own gallery. Collects first editions, grudges, and — despite his best efforts — attachments.
