Corkus is boastful, argumentative and deeply concerned with status. He dreams of wealth, noble titles and the comfortable life that victory under Griffith might eventually provide.

Despite his abrasive personality, Corkus is loyal to the Band of the Hawk. He remains with the company through its collapse and shares the other surviving members' desperation to restore what they once had.
