Overview
Corbin is a Jaeger — a hunter of the Radiant Church. He appears in his early 20s but carries himself with the weariness of someone who has seen too much. His garments are shabby and torn, his scale mail in poor shape, and various vials, trinkets, and bits hang from his armor and belts. He wields both a short sword and a flintlock pistol.
He revealed his Jaeger identity at Grand Central Station, immediately earning the guards’ trust and their lowered weapons.
Appearance
Young man in his early 20s, sitting with elbows on knees, looking tired. His garments are shabby, torn in many places. The scale mail he wears is in similarly poor shape.
