I love that everything about Corbeaus outfit is designed to make him look taller than he is (From a both in-Universe and Character-Design perspective)
1: He wears high waisted pants that shorten his Torso and make his legs look longer -> his pants also end just above the ankle to amplify that effect
2: His suit is the lenght of his knees (including the poison-drop thingies) and he doesn't Button it, making his entire front and back silhouette look elongated
3: His Accessoires also aid to that effect, wearing a long tie (instead of for example bow tie) as well as his droplet Glasses chains
(4. I dont necessarily count it but he does have a good amount of heel and his hair is sticking up just a bit)
Considering that Corbeaus suit is (most likely) custom made by him, everything about the outfit is fully intentional
From a Character design perspective (not a professional, just an educated guess!!): We’re supposed to perceive him the way he wants to be perceived, but still notice that there’s more to him than that. We’re supposed to know that he’s that authoritative, smart, cynical and ruthless figure, just someone who should not be messed with.
However, Given that he is that short, and has kind of a Babyface (imo) and round-ish design features (accessories and hair for example) we just know that’s not everything there is to him. But we only truly find that out after getting to know him in-game
TLDR:
He's fully aware of how short he is and is actively trying to make himself look taller. It serves both in-Universe and Character design purpose, since we get a good impression of what kind of a person he is before we even meet him, and then get to fully appreciate him once we meet him in-game
In my humble opinion: Very adorable- he's trying so hard to look intimidating- i love him-
