His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He is incredibly misogynistic, as shown by the Lestrange family tree only showing the men, with the women being displayed as flowing, alongside his disregard for his daughter Leta due to her not being a male heir.
- Out of a lustful obsession, he placed Laurena Kama under the Imperius Curse and kidnapped her from her family, hitting her 12-year-old son Yusuf with a stunning spell when he tried to save her. He would then forcefully marry her and date-rape her, where she would go on to get pregnant with Leta and die during childbirth.
- He held no love for his daughter Leta or his second wife, likely due to his overall views on women.
- Even years later, his actions had profound consequences as he left the Kama family broken and vengeful, with Yusef's father going insane from grief until his death, and Yusef himself swearing that he would kill the person Corvus loved the most to take revenge for what he did to his mother.
- He is a Karma Houdini as he died of natural causes, believing his lineage was secure with his heir Corvus V.
- While the heinous standards of the Harry Potter franchise are massive, Corvus stands out due to having the particularly unique crime of rape.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- Despite it partly being to continue his legacy, he genuinely loved his son. He was shown delighted at Corvus V's birth, with Yusef stating that despite Corvus never knowing love previously, he was filled with it afterwards, with his son being all he cared about. When Corvus heard about the Kama family's plot for revenge, he chose to send Corvus V to America for his safety.
