Personality: He is a man who does what he needs to. He will acquiesce to black mail and extortion to avoid trouble. He is a ruthless business man, a trait he acquired from his father.

History: He was a bastard born out of an affair, and his father always resented and mistreated him for it out of spite. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Cory took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up glaive and armor he uses now. He now has a substantial network of resources ranging from contacts to ships to peers.

Motivation: A rival would like him out of the picture.
