The Raven is a character who makes cameo appearances in the ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time.
Role in the series[]
He has made three cameo appearances in the show. In the series, he takes the role of Regina's messenger. Like in the original movie, he seems capable of understanding human's language.
Interestingly, the first time he has appeared was in "Into the Deep", but this time he wasn't Regina's messenger, but Cora's (who is Regina's mother in this series). After capturing Aurora, Cora tries to exchange her for a magic compass that could lead Mary Margaret/Snow White and Emma back to Storybrooke. She knows that Snow and Emma would never let her die. Cora order her Raven to deliver the message to Snow White.
He appears once again in season four of White Out. After Maid Marian comes back from the past and Robin Hood makes up with her for Roland's happiness, Regina is devastated. So much so that she uses the Raven to deliver a message to Henry, in which she explain that she doesn't want anyone to visit her.
He appears again in Season 6, when Regina delivers a false message to distract Zelena to surprise the Evil Queen and Gold in intimate relation, while Emma, her parents, Hook, and Blue search a way to trap the Evil Queen.
