Hiram’s execution

Tagged as Corvo Attano, Hiram Burrows

Creator: Multiple

Description:

Corvo canonically executed Hiram himself. A bunch of headcanons on the details of that event.

Public execution:

hc that Corvo organized a public execution :) he brought out a guillotine just for this event!

a public execution where Burrows would be snivelling and pissing himself until the end.

Every day until Hiram's execution, Corvo walks to his cell and stares at him for a few minutes before leaving. Just so Hiram can hear the footsteps and wonder, every single day, if Corvo's coming to drag him to the gallows. possibly bette for the creep factor: he lurks outside the window.

unlawful execution:

it never says if it's a LAWFUL execution or if corvo didn't just roll up to burrows cell and merc him. there's "poetic justice" (ie corvo who give burrows the exact fate b planned for coov) but there's also cool and technically-unsanctioned-but-nobody's-saying-shit murder time.

He just beats the shit out of him in his own cell

corvo just rolls up to burrows cell after either he or em has a nightmare/ is dealing w the effects of the shit burrows pulled and is like fuck you i thought imprisoning you'd be enough but no i wann kill. as the masked felon but then takes his mask off

Corvo dragging a screaming Burrows out of his cell and towards the torture room under the eyes of all the prisonners and then a gunshot echoes across Coldridge is an appealing idea. thats like a high chaos corvo who exposes the lord regents crime.

corvo murders h*ram in coldridge but discretely.

corvo possessing him and making him personally execute himself

What if... Corvo steals one of the whaler knives and shoves it through H*ram’s skull. Poetic justice for both Corvo and Daud. Literally does what Daud wanted to do, which was to shove a knife between his eyes

last speech:

H*ram just begging Corvo and crying sorry but Corvo is just so unfazed. Vengeance best served cold at its finest.

Corvo pulls up to H*ram's cell and pulls out an uno reverse card and starts doing H *ram's speech we hear in Coldridge. "H *ram, I branded Campbell, the twins are in their own slave mines, shaved and tongues cut, Lady Boyle is dead, and no one will know the truth. There was nothing personal in this... actually no it was all personal, but lucky for me, you were so dumb that your recorded plan made everyone suddenly turn their back at you. You were in the right place, in the right time. And as for me, well I think I will enjoy tomorrow. Goodbye H *ram".

The sort of "this city beat you/ i beat you" and general yelling and the i'm in power now vibe. however corvo very calmly talking to burrows before his execution and giving that speech you said is Better. Basically revealing to Burrows that EVERYTHING has fallen apart and leaves him to suffer with his own failures.

corvo revealing that it was all him. a sort of you should have killed me when you had the chance, and a consider it repayment type thing. He's the masked felon, the unseen ghost that dismantled everything and returned emily to the throne. He branded campbell. He's the reason the pendletwins and lady boyle went missing. He's how Burrows' confession was broadcasted. him. corvo is the reason everything h*ram was striving towards fell apart. one man took everything down -- not an army, nothing H*ram thought would take his reign down. One man with a need for vengeance and justice. One man took down years of intricate planning, unravelled the thread. one man who REALALY wanted 2 see his daughter again :///
