Corpul (Japanese: コープルCorpul) is the adoptive son of the Thracian general Hannibal, biologically one of the two children of the dancer Silvia, and a distant relative of the Edda nobility of Grannvale. He and his sister, Lene, were left at an orphanage in Darna in his infancy by Silvia, and Hannibal subsequently adopted him.[1] Trained as a priest of the Church of Bragi, he influenced Hannibal to defect and ally with Seliph's liberation army.
When Seliph's liberation army seized Meath with the intent of claiming the rest of Thracia, Corpul was held hostage by King Travant in a bid to get Hannibal to co-operate with his orders to fight Seliph, and was left under the guard of General Distler at Luthecia Castle. When Seliph conquered Luthecia, Corpul was freed and warned Seliph of Hannibal's plight. He joined Seliph's army and convinced Hannibal to stand down and accompany him.
Corpul was captured in the Munster District child hunts and held prisoner in Fort Kelbeth, on the border between Munster and Thracia. He was freed by Leif and the Fiana Freeblades in their raid on the fort and taken to one of the nearby villages, after which he eventually returned to Hannibal's care at Meath Castle. When Leif and the Magi arrived there some time later, Corpul gave Leif a Warp staff out of thanks for saving him from Kelbeth.
