Corvin the Caller was the working name given to a mysterious figure, who knew more than he was letting on, who often called Jessie Morcin and Mindy Liptash from burner phones in the Kozerlen TV series pitch from 2009.
Exactly who he really was and what he really wanted were a mystery to all but himself. At one point in the story, there were plans that he'd be exposed by Jessie after a fight. She'd actually get to compel him to switch sides in her war, supporting her.
Inspired by the Mouth of Sauron character in Return of the King, he would have been a figure dropping taunts and clues randomly, such that even the audience wouldn't know who he was or what is agenda was. This would be achieved by having a character who was never shown above the lower half of his nose. He was, in practice, to be something somewhere between Mouth of Sauron and Watchmen's Rorschach.
When the pitch for Kozerlen was abandoned in favor of Blood Over Water, Corvin was replaced with the character of George Lawence. While George is much more clearly and unambiguously evil and hammy, his voice effects are toned down from Corvin's considerably. Also, much of Corvin's intelligence was toned down when he was adapted as George. Some of that intellect was restored for the comic adaptation, though the miniseries reduced George to a dumb thug.
