Background

With the fall of the Company, Corbin spent a lot of time on his own, travelling the country with some assistance from Daphne (at least until she tried to do someone else a favor and got sent to Eville). He managed to get his brother and his family into hiding, fearing they would be used to find him, and faked his own death. There's a grave in a cemetery somewhere behind the wall in Manhattan, but it doesn't contain him.

His father did not escape the wrath of the government and the Institute at first, being taken into custody in an attempt to find the former Company Agent son of his, who might have paperwork and other information. The man, at least, survived his imprisonment. Not being Evolved probably helped. After a time, the Deveaux Group found him, and he took up their offer, to help them, to find people who needed to be nudged in the right direction. Around the same time, he lost contact with Daphne. And hoped she made it to Paris, or somewhere even better.

But part of that knew this might not be the case. He returned to New York in 2011 to try and find her, and witnessed the speech by Nathan Petrelli which would soon publicly announce his status as one of them. With Hokuto a presence that came and went within his dreams and within his periphery, he often had a set of eyes in the back of his head, literally. She kept him safe more times than he could count. And it helped him get out of New York again, even with the rampant destruction around him.

Once again, the world seemed to change over night. War broke out. Atrocities were committed. While he would never consider himself a fighter, he took up with a small resistance cell and worked with communication and archives, cause even a pop-up resistance needs people to keep paperwork. He wrote articles, much like his old reporter days, though they had a limited release to the area. Mostly they would detail what the Government was doing, information about their abuses of powers, casualty reports.

For the first time in a long time, he published the truth. It was still propaganda, trying to open the eyes of those who still tried to ignore what was happening, trying to turn government supporters against the repressive regime. He didn't know how many people it affected, but he knew if it even changed one person's mind and got them to join the resistance, it was enough.

During this time he reunited, finally, with Daphne. But between Hokuto's constant presence, the fact that a part of him would always love the ghost in his dreams, and that he did not want to leave even after the war ended and the new government started to form, their relationship would not stay together. She'd asked him to leave with her, not long after he testified against the crimes of the government, but he had already decided to stay, to make sure THIS government didn't make the same mistakes as the past.

In the tribunals, he had come forward to reveal himself as (actually) alive, and testified against the Company, members of the Company that he had information on who had actually done terrible things, and the government that he used to work for. His assistance with the Ferry on Roosevelt Island, many of his actions around the fall of the Company and during the war itself, had helped with making sure he didn't face charges for his part in it and was exonerated. It also helped that he had gotten files out of the Company before it's fall, many of which were eventually released.

When SESA formed, he immediately applied, mostly because of the desire to make sure that this new agency didn't make the same mistakes the last ones did, though due to his Company affiliation, some people look upon him with doubt and distrust, even if he testified against his former bosses and colleges. Instead of a desk job in the group, he's actually a field agent. And he hasn't exactly revealed to his bosses that he is cohabitating (in a way) with an Evolved dreamwalker who happens to be dead.

Psych Profile

Once genuinely easy going, he has a bit of a darker side now. Corbin's seen and done things he didn't like. Not that he isn't still easy to get along with, and he still makes jokes, often at his own expense, he's just got other things going on in his head these days. He's very worried about Evolved rights, after knowing what the Company and the government did, after knowing what the Institute did. He will fight for what he believes, though he still won't fight people on a personal level when they make a decision. Even if he disagrees. Even if part of him wishes he had.

Either way he's still a good guy, who tries to do good. But he's definitely got some secrets. The biggest of which is Hokuto, living in his head half the time.

Skills

Journalism: He knows how to write a story and how to get it out there, as well as how to fact check and interview. While he is no longer direction involved in Journalism, he's definitely still got the skills and the know-how. He doesn't write stories anymore, though.

Online: He used to work almost exclusively online. This gave him some basic knowledge of using the internet. Nothing fancy like hacking, but the ability to use search engines and some basic html.

Archives: He used to work in archives in the Company. He knows how to file paperwork and some basic filing systems. This includes computer archives and scanning, etc. But a lot of it had been paper.

Combat: While he wasn't originally a field agent and could have possibly been the worst ever Company agent possible, he does know how to use a handgun and some basic self-defense. He's not the best at either and he's only intentionally shot like two people in his entire life, and that was before the war. But he knows how to load, unload and use basic handguns.

Connections: Thanks to his journalism career, he had some connections that helped him do things like fake his own death. He also had connections through the Company affiliation, through Hokuto's old bookstore and other such things. He had connections with the old Ferry and many other people. He also met a lot of people through the Deveaux society.

Toy collecting: Okay this is mostly not serious, but Corbin has a toy collection, specifically toy cars and toy motorcycles. He saved them in a storage building in upstate New York before the Company fell, and moved them a few times before and after the war. But he also knows a lot about toy cars and motorcycles. Where they were made, how much they would be worth, etc. But never expect him to sell any of his.

Other: He knows some basic things like driving. Cooking (he was a bachelor most his life) and other such basic things that most everyone knows. Don't expect him to make a living off of any of it, though.
