Character History
Early History
Phillip de Raven is the son of Robert de Raven, the CEO of Detroit Mutual Insurance, a rather successful insurance company in Detroit. Phillip was the considered the "heir apparent" to the insurance agency, having followed the same path as his father in accounting and business management. With his girlfriend Annabelle by his side, Phillip was living the life that most men would dream of.
Then the City of Detroit was devastated by Doctor Destroyer.
The destruction financially devastated all the insurance carriers in the Great Lakes area. Countless claims for injuries, deaths, damages, and destruction, that had to be honored drove half the insurance providers right into bankruptcy. The other half, predominantly the big corporate agencies, simply walked away. This left the city with no assistance and no means to recover and rebuild.
With the federal government ready to simply abandon what was left of the city, Robert and Phillip took a bold move. They used their own personal assets and bought up the bankrupt agencies and created a brand-new insurance company. This company would become Millennium Insurance, so named after the decision to transform the ruins of Detroit into Millennium City.
The gambit worked. As the new city took shape, Millennium Insurance - which ran red for the first two years - quickly became the most successful insurance agency in the state and became the dominant agency for the city.
Loss and Revenge
As Millennium Insurance exploded with money and prestige, Phillip and Anabelle proudly announced their engagement. The media praised the new local "power couple", making comparisons with the city's premiere superhero team, The Champions.
Then, tragedy.
Just days before the wedding, Annabelle was killed by an escaped felon.

Powers and Abilities
Ravenclaw is a skilled fighter, trained in bladed weapons which are concealed in his gloves. His best skill, though, is his stealth, as he is able to render himself invisible through a secret known only to the Tin-Shen monks.
In addition to his physical abilities, he carries a grapple gun, which allows him to swing across the city with ease. His outfit is padded to withstand bullets and blades, and he has a voice-changer in his facemask. His goggles give him enhanced vision.
Ravenclaw's other mode of transportation is "The Mammoth"; a blood-red hovertank that carries a variety of weapons from rubber bullets to missiles. It is a very noisy vehicle, often described by him as "a herd of elephants", so he only uses it when necessary.
Personality
Phillip de Raven gives the appearance of a kind and generous man. While still retaining the savvy business senses that allowed him to run Millennium Insurance after his father's passing, he has very little of a personal life.
As Ravenclaw, he is all business as well. He does not seek the limelight. He prefers to stay in the shadows, making himself more of a recluse than even Nighthawk. He is focused on hunting down and apprehending fugitives, which he considers his prey.
