Corvin checks private membership cards, receives carriages, remembers guests’ formal titles and keeps nonmembers from entering. Formerly a hotel porter, he considers a club threshold a theatre of rank: an untitled expert may be refused where a titled fool walks straight in. He is paid for discretion, not servility.
Corvin is polished, perceptive and deeply private, with a low and steady voice. Two identical membership tokens are presented in one evening. His superior orders him to admit the more important claimant without investigation.
Corvin can identify who arrived under an assumed name by their carriage insignia, but requires that the information not be used to harm an innocent attendant.
Connections: Lucian Merrow (guest arrivals), Alistair Wren (service trade), Ivo Bexley (inquiries).
