When I first played Neverwinter Nights, I needed to come up with a name for my Sorceror's raven familiar. Corlindale just popped up in my head, but I ended up liking it so much that I've used it as an online alias ever since.

When I was later involved in mod-making, it also became the name of a hero character in the lore of Fall from Heaven, a mod for Civilization IV. In that universe, he is a wizard who became a pacifist and joined the peaceful, scholarly faction in the mod's universe, after seeing the destruction his powers wrought on civilians in wartime.
