Corro the Hopeful

A fighter with more bruises than wins at the Marrowring, and the specific, unshakable confidence of someone who has never once let a loss change his opinion of himself.

Corro has lost more bouts than he's won and describes every single one, without exception, as a fight he was winning right up until the part where he lost. Nobody in the Arena has the heart to correct him because he's genuinely likeable, tips his last coin to the losing fighter's corner out of what he calls professional courtesy, and once talked Ilse into stitching him up for free by making her laugh so hard she couldn't hold the needle straight. Sennet keeps him at long odds every single fight and has never once regretted it.
