Corvus Umbranox

Corvus Umbranox was the Count of Anvil before he went missing ten years ago, due to the curse of the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal.

Corvus Umbranox is the current Gray Fox, guildmaster of the Thieves Guild. He is also known as The Stranger when not wearing the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal. The cowl is the reason for his "disappearance" because its magic shields his identity from everyone, even his wife. The reason for this is because Emer Dareloth stole the cowl from Nocturnal (becoming the first Gray Fox) and as a result whoever wears the cowl's name stricken from history. He is crucial to the Thieves Guild quest Taking Care of Lex. He forges a list of candidates for the new guard captain of Anvil, giving Hieronymus Lex a glowing recommendation so he will be forced to leave the Imperial City. In the quest The Ultimate Heist he has the player character steal an Elder Scroll from the library in the Imperial Palace. After this is done, he gives the player a ring and tells him to take it to Countess Millona Umbranox of Anvil. Afterwards, he reveals himself in the castle as the Gray Fox. He says that the curse of the cowl has been lifted and people will be able to recognize him again. He then gives the cowl to the player and declares the player the new guildmaster of the Thieves Guild, renouncing his life of crime and becoming the Count of Anvil once more.
