Full name: Corbeau Higan Age: 23 Height: 159 cm Hometown: Lumiose City, Kalos region Hobbies: Doing community service for Lumiose Battle gimmicks: Mega Evolution

Corbeau is a skinny young man with pale complexion and sharp, angular eyes. Corbeau is notably rather short, being shorter than his Rust Syndicate grunts. His hair is swept to his left side, while the right side of his head has a buzz cut.

Corbeau wears a large, black, custom knee-length suit jacket over a purple dress shirt and black trousers. His suit jacket is designed as though there are drips of poison all over it, with droplet-shaped magenta strips of cloth hanging from the bottom of the jacket and the lapels, and the inside of the jacket having an orange and magenta dripping pattern. Corbeau also wears a white necktie with five black notches on each side, black socks, and dark purple dress shoes from Masterpiece with lighter purple toe caps. Additionally, he wears round glasses, also from Masterpiece, held in place by a drip-like, purple retainer; the bridge of his glasses has an inverted "Y" shape. Finally, Corbeau wears a pin of the Rust Syndicate logo on the left lapel of his jacket, where he keeps his Key Stone.

As the head of the Rust Syndicate, Corbeau demands respect and obedience from his subordinates, and is prone to anger when things don't go according to his plans. Despite never really wanting the position of boss to begin with (Philippe abdicated the position in awe of Corbeau's talents), Corbeau is an effective leader. He has his personal code of honor and leads by example — this is best seen when he helps the Rust Syndicate form a human ladder for the player to climb on during the final act of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A story.

Corbeau has a cordial, yet generally intimidating presence, and is not above using extortion to get others to do his bidding, such as threatening to raise the interest of Team MZ's debt to him as a way to stop the player from leaking his personal secrets. However, despite his demeanor and shady tactics, Corbeau is well-liked by the people of Lumiose City who know him, and genuinely wishes the best for the city he calls home. He has a unique method of having his subordinates help the people of the city on his behalf — he forces the player to do various odd jobs to clear Urbain/Taunie's debt to the Rust Syndicate, which turn out to be little more than community service.

According to Philippe, Corbeau is a savvy businessman, and made a name for himself by setting up various enterprises such as security services, Pokémon couriers, and other ventures that seem legally dubious. Corbeau looks up to and idolizes Lysandre, who gave him support as a child and invested money into his business schemes. In contrast, the fact that Corbeau had to work his way to the top likely explains his disdain for an elite socialite such as Jacinthe — Corbeau almost never has anything nice to say about her, especially when the two are in one place together.

When Corbeau was a child, he was an orphan who is an outsider to Lumiose. Lysandre, the CEO of Lysandre Labs and the leader of Team Flare, was the one who helped and supported Corbeau when he was struggling during his early years. This relationship continues into Corbeau's adulthood, as he convinced Lysandre to give him seed funding for his various businesses. Philippe and his gang tried to put a stop to Corbeau and his ventures, but eventually had to admit defeat, and Philippe relinquished the position of the Rust Syndicate's boss to Corbeau despite the latter's hesitance.

The Rust Syndicate is a yakuza organization in Lumiose, led by Corbeau and his right hand man Philippe. They do some shady businesses in Lumiose, such as being loan sharks, but they do community service jobs as well. Philippe was the former leader of Rust Syndicate until he lost to Corbeau and became his loyal right hand man.

Most of Corbeau's Pokemon are poison-type Pokemon. His Pokemon includes Scolipede, Garbodor, Barbaracle, Gyarados, Roserade and Arbok. His Scolipede can Mega Evolve.

Scolipede can Mega Evolve into Mega Scolipede.

As Mega Scolipede, its chest has become coated in a thick plate of lavender armor with two small bumps near the bottom; its smaller fore-claws also gain armor, as do its head and forelegs. The armor on the first two of its foreclaws is the largest and most bulbous. Each of the armor plates on its foreclaws, as well as its thighs, are also marked by black circles with bright, magenta, eye-like shapes surrounding them. Mega Scolipede's foreclaws themselves also turn the same shade of magenta. Its horns have grown dramatically, colored with alternating stripes of dark purple and black and tapering into luminous green spikes. Some bands around the segments in its armor, the outline of its underbelly, and its eyes have also become accentuated by this luminous green. Mega Scolipede's tails become fashioned similarly to its antennae, but lack the characteristic green tips.

Its venom is now luminescent, and it has become even more vicious than its original form thanks to the venom altering its mind.

Scolipede's Mega Stone is called Scolipite. </Mega Scolipede info>
