Story

"Confirmed death of primary surveillance target 'Corvus.' 'Nightfall' has been completely taken over by an unidentified force overnight. Note: Evidence of intervention by an unregistered Arche ability user, aka the 'Ghost,' who has long been a surveillance target. Extreme caution is required."

– An excerpt from a classified report by the Colon Special Forces, Albion Headquarters

Raven grew up as Eleanore, an orphan from Albion's back alleys. When she awakened an Arche ability that let her perfectly assimilate into the shadows, her godfather Corvus – the man who had given her the name Eleanore – made her the sharpest weapon of Nightfall, the most powerful faction in the back alleys.

Corvus' greed for power grew until he sold forbidden artifacts and even helpless orphans to the Vulgus as experimental subjects – a line Eleanore would never cross. She executed Corvus herself, then crushed and unified the fragmented cartels into a new, massive alliance called the Guild. Eleanore the "hunting hound" vanished, and Raven, the Queen of Darkness, came to rule.

Albion's back alleys were divided over her: a filthy traitor who repaid kindness with betrayal, or the Bloody Queen who brought strict order to a lawless land. Still, she asked herself how a life spent hiding in the shadows would differ from staying trapped in the refuge Corvus had created – so she stepped out of the shadows and, without hesitation, stood before the Albion Command that had pursued her for years.

Summary of the official library story (Story tab).

Exclusive Equipment / Ability: Exclusive Arche, Photonic Energy Control

Raven's Arche appears to rule the darkness, but the Magisters determined that her true ability is closer to manipulating photons – strictly limited to photon annihilation.

By annihilating photons she creates spaces devoid of light, and she is believed to convert the energy released during the annihilation into actual physical force. Several aspects defy the Magisters' current understanding of physics; they hoped to research it further, but Raven has refused.

"Remember this, Eleanore. The perfect hound never barks until it has its prey in its jaws."
"That's why you had no idea until the muzzle of this gun was pressed against your neck, Father."

– Final conversation between Corvus and Raven
