The son of a Meribian merchant, Corwynt was orphaned during the Shadow Dragon Cult's assault on the city. Some years later, when the Goddess emerged from her Tower, he travelled to the seat of her power to pledge his family's holdings, and his own life, into her service. He was one of the earliest volunteers in Leo's defence force, wielding powerful martial arts and wind magic in defence of Pentagulia. Now a captain in Althena's Guard, "Storm Fist" Corwynt has been pulled into the hunt for the Lord of Calamity, to slay her in the name of the Goddess he serves.
Corwynt is the foremost living master of the martial arts taught at a comparatively unspectacular dojo in Meribia - The Wondrous Academy of the Smiling Breeze. Through a combination of personal devotion, skill, and experience in combat, he seeks to one day seek training out under one of the Four Heroes, the Blue Master Lunn.
Corwynt's sorcery comes from the Blessing of Althena; he is a natural black mage with an affinity for the wind element. He uses it to enhance his own physical abilities, but can also channel it through his fists for pure damage. He has also developed an application of sorcery that is devastating to hostile mages - a spell that draws the breath from his enemy's lungs and into his own. He can't sustain it for long in the rush of combat, and it takes a lot of power to pull it off, but it's one of the reasons he was chosen to chase after Lucia and her companions.
