Corm is an ancient and patient armored Bound, introduced in Book 9 as the dedicated keeper of the larder-discipline and warden to the young. Despite its role within a predatory hierarchy, Corm never desired to consume anyone, distinguishing itself through a unique restraint among its kind.

In the critical events of Book 9, Corm stood firm alongside Captain Halden to hold a vital choke point against overwhelming odds. This act of service marked the end of its long existence, as Corm perished during the conflict in that same volume.
