Mr. Flint is a fallen Corax paymaster for the Midnight Circus. He is part of the Second Circle in the Circus.
Biography[]
Quote: "I'm responsible for every scrap of money that goes through this place. You'd be surprised how much power a good accountant has."
Charles Flint was born in Vancouver Province, Canada, and has English and Tlingit blood in his veins. When the Change came upon Flint, his uncle, a member of the Hermetic Society of Swift Light, guided him into the ways of Corax society. But while investigating a strange circus that suddenly moved into the area, his uncle was slain by an arrow shot from nearby forest covering. The other Corax with them flew off, but Flint stayed, trying to revive his uncle. The young Corax was adopted by Cavendish, and soon fell under the spell of the circus. The Ringmaster corrupted him so gradually that Flint doesn't see himself as "fallen." Abandoned by his own kind, Flint became Cavendish's head spy and confidant. If he were to discover that Morrell DeEquesto killed his uncle, he would probably try to kill Morrell without endangering his own position.
Agenda: To advance in the circus through Cavendish.
Appearance[]
In Homid form, Mr. Flint is thin and wiry, and wears formal Edwardian clothes. He appears taller than he is due to the stovepipe hat he wears. Dark sunglasses cover his eyes, and long black hair falls down over his face. His shape and dress cause his coworkers to call him "Ebenezer Flint," but not within earshot. In Corvid form, Mr. Flint is a large raven.
