Brether Corvid is an NPC in Mortal Shell. Brether Corvid can be found at Dim Gate. Brether Corvid is the last Brether of a lost order. He is both tired of life, and scared from death.

Brether Corvid Information:

• Brether Corvid will tell you that he is the last living member of an old order. He thinks that life is pointless, but he is also frightened of death.
• If you speak to him while wearing Eredrim's Shell, he will give you the option to kick him off the cliff. If you do, you'll acquire 1x Glimpse of Cowardice
• If you speak to him while wearing Harros's Shell, he will give you the option to acquire 1x  Corvid's Glimpse of Admiration as a gift to take to his brother Thestus.

Where to find Brether Corvid

• Can be found at:
  • Dim Gate: You can find him on the main area before the bridge heading to the Shifting Archives. He is standing on the edge of the left part.
  • Fallgrim: After returning Thestus' Glimpse of Tenacity to him, his body can be found in Fallgrim's Grisha cave along with a Glimpse of Futility.

Brether Corvid Notes and Tips

• You can obtain Corvid’s Glimpse of Admiration, Thestus’ Glimpse of Tenacity, the Glimpse of Futility, and the Glimpse of Cowardice in the same run. Obtain Corvid’s Glimpse as Harros, travel to Thestus at Fallgrim Tower and exchange for his Glimpse, then give Corvid Thestus’ Glimpse as Harros and DO NOT LEAVE THE AREA AFTER. Immediately switch to Eredrim’s shell using his effigy, then talk to Corvid again and agree to put him out of his misery to obtain the Glimpse of Cowardice. Then travel/teleport back to Fallgrim and head to the Grisha’s cave and Corvid’s body should be there with the Glimpse of Futility. 
• The structure and end of his questline is similar to that of many NPC questlines in the Souls series, with many of them ultimately ending in the NPCs death and you looting an item from their corpse.
• Has unique dialog depending on which of the four shells you speak to him as, or if you speak to him as the Foundling. 
• Has no dialogue if spoken to as Hadern. His head will move as if speaking, but the game will glitch and you will be unable to access your inventory unless you quit the game or reset at Sester Genessa.
