A loud-mouthed ex-thief, Corkus is fond of delusions of grandeur and is constantly at odds with Gatsu. He was the leader of his own band of thieves before he joined the old Band of the Hawk, being one of the longest running members. He was the one who first tried to assault Gatsu in order to rob him of the money earned defeating Bazuso, but failed miserably, making Casca, followed by Griffith, step in. Because of that, he holds a grudge against Gatsu and never fully accepts him as a Hawk. Despite his unappealing nature, he is one of the most loyal members of the Band of the Hawk.
