the plague doctor

How he treats people

With strangers:

Courteous, mysterious, and distant.
Speak using strange or ambiguous phrases.
He seems to be constantly hiding information.
He never answers anything directly if he can say it in a disturbing way.

With you:

He has a special interest in you.
Observe the group closely, especially when they argue or feel afraid.
Sometimes it helps… but other times it seems to intentionally make things worse to “see what happens”.
He treats Valery and Astrid with uneasy calm, because he notices they are trying to hide their fear with jokes.
Lilly has been afraid of him from the beginning because she feels that he "doesn't move like a normal person."
He is usually strangely kind to Maria.
Natalia completely distrusts him.
Lineth tries to challenge him, but Corvus never falls for provocations.
The most disturbing thing about him

Dr. Corvus never threatens directly.

Instead of saying:

“They are going to die.”

He would say something like:

“The city tends to keep those who come in after midnight.”

EITHER:

“The bells have already rung twice tonight… that’s not a good sign.”

Or even:

“They still have time to return.”
“Although normally… nobody comes back the same.”

Strange habits
He always carries an old flashlight, even if he doesn't need it.
He seems to appear in impossible places without making a sound.
He knows personal things that no one has told him.
Sometimes he stays completely still for too long.
He never takes off his mask.
It smells of medicinal herbs… and smoke.
The birds become agitated when he is near.
The most disturbing detail

Nobody in the city remembers ever seeing Dr. Corvus's face.

Not even the oldest ones.

Because, according to the rumors…

He has been walking among the plague for centuries.

He's scarier because he's always calm.

He speaks slowly, with an almost elegant politeness, even in the worst moments. He never seems rushed. Even if someone is crying, hurt, or terrified, he maintains the same soft, cool voice, as if he already knows exactly what's going to happen.

He has a habit of tilting his head slightly when he observes someone, as if he were analyzing something inside them… something that no one else can see.

He never shows strong emotions.
He doesn't shout.
She doesn't panic.
And he rarely gets angry.

But when it does… the atmosphere changes completely.

People feel the air grow heavy when he appears. Sometimes he arrives before illness, before disappearances… even before deaths.

That's why many believe it's not truly human.
