History of the star: A ruddy yellow star in the right claw of the Crow Corvus.

[Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinchley Allen, 1889]

Influence of constellation: According to Ptolemy, Corvus is like Mars and Saturn. It is said to give craftiness, greediness, ingenuity, patience, revengefulness, passion, selfishness, lying, aggressiveness and material instincts, and sometimes causes its natives to become agitators. (Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology , Vivian E. Robson, 1923)  

"Corvinus, winner of spoils and a name, aided in combat by a bird which hides beneath a bird's exterior the godhead of Phoebus " [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.67.]
