Freelance photographer and recent divorcee. Corwin has never quite fit in anywhere. He is a lone wolf of sorts. He became so after growing up in a household with a cold father and drunk mother. His parents divorced and his mother left him, along with his sister to their father who did nothing to raise them. He does not keep in touch with his sister; he doesn't speak of his family at all. He left Germany after the death of his high school sweet heart Bridget in a tragic accident.

He met Isabelle in London, pursuing photography. They had a peculiar romance and he cheated on her with a book editor whom he later married. His marriage to her, Megan, didn't work out because she miscarried after becoming pregnant against his wishes. The ensuing rage of emotions caused a growing rift in which he had an affair with her assistant (a common pattern in his love life). She finally chose to leave him. He was contacted for a job involving photographs on the Hnakra. He thought he'd invite Isabelle along for kicks and was surprised when she actually agreed to come along.

He has never been up for a "man of the year" award.
