Story
Skypiercer Part 2
Craven, lit staff in hand, led the travelers to Atheranon. His welcome was not warm. He recognized the scholar among them, and he did not like what he saw:
“The Endless Scholar? Right hand of the Shadow King?”
He drew on Vythorn then and there. Vythorn answered by revealing his companion: “I’ve brought with me the savior of the Void… Elusia, daughter of the Golden King.” Craven dropped the hostility and knelt before Elusia.
As leader of Atheranon, Craven also held a chest of Faucius’s treasures.
Skypiercer Part 3 (finale)
When the war came, Craven did not watch from the back. He led the army’s charge on horseback.
Personality and Abilities
Craven is a leonin, and he is easy to spot by his gray and black fur and the staff he carries, which projects light. He is quick to draw on someone he sees as a threat, and he was blunt about it even with the Shadow King’s right hand standing in front of him. He was just as quick to bend the knee once he knew he was in the presence of the Golden King’s daughter. He was a leader both in Atheranon and in battle, where he rode out at the front of the charge.

- Elusia: He knelt to her as the daughter of the Golden King when Vythorn presented her as the savior of the Void.
- Vythorn: He greeted him with suspicion and a drawn weapon, knowing him as the Endless Scholar and right hand of the Shadow King.
