Mabey he was mabey he was not.Corvo's past before he started serving as the empresse's body guard is a mystery throughout the game.All we really know about him is that he hails from the land of serkonos and that he was just asigned to body guard for Kaldwin.Hell, even the people of high standard such as the Lord regent and other Aristocrats don't know mutch about him.

I have a theroy though for this, during the begnning of the game(upon entering the sewers) Corvo can hear to City Watch guards talking about him they say how Corvo hails from serkonos and that in serkonos there are "all merchants and whores down their" which can possibly mean that there could be some sort of black market in sorkonos and were there is a black market there are illegal things going on mabey(and this is a big mabey this is not confrimed or anything just a standpoint of mine). Mabey Corvo could have been an Assassin mabey the reason why he was selected as Royal Protector was because he was good at what he did.

So mabey he left that kinda life behind I guess(again this is just my standpoint).
