Early life
Raven is a church child who was found abandoned on the street as a baby and taken in by the Sanctuary. He was "adopted" by Cardinal Adanita Baleteno. Initially, he worked in the kitchens, but quickly displayed intellectual aptitude: he taught himself to read by eavesdropping tutoring sessions in the courtyard in between chores and stealing books from the library to read late at night. As such, he was allowed to be educated formally, despite being a nobody. He proved an extremely bright pupil, and seriously impressed several cardinals and ministers. He was soon assigned to be educated by Carbuncle, alongside Charles Bellanger and Morgan Le Rhodes, and later the Oracle herself. He grew very close with them.[1]
When Spymaster Cedro Ciano committed suicide, Ina appointed Raven as his successor.
Name
Cardinal Baleteno settled on the name "Raven" because she only noticed the infant Raven when a raven pecked at her face and flew into the shrubbery, which pulled her attention away for just long enough for her to notice the babe wrapped in cloth on the ground nearby.
Endnotes
- ↑ Some of them more than others.
