Personality

Corey is vivacious, fun-loving and confident. Despite his neglectful family life, Corey is friendly and has a sweet nature and takes joy in the good of life as he frequents the mixed club Sinema with his boyfriend Lucas.

Underneath this happy-go-lucky exterior, Corey is rather fragile, faint-hearted, being immediately terror-stricken, overwhelmed and frustrated because of the chaos and strife around him and happening to him because of his Chimera conversion, the Doctors' trying to kill him as well as Scott's unwaranted action of invading his memories.

After dying and coming back to life, Corey is broken, traumatized and fearful of dying again. He loses touch with his humanity as seen when he easily gives his allegiance to Theo out of desperation to survive despite Theo's unsavouriness being revealed. Despite his preference for avoiding conflict and fhis overall faintheartedness, Corey eventually regains his confidence and shows a defined sense of affection, being supportive, compassionate and protective of those he cares for as he does everything possible to rescue Mason. He also recommits to his morals in defecting from Theo and fully aligning with Scott's Pack again.
