The 3 original Ravens human mascots were Edgar (#101) Allan (#102) and Poe (#103), named in honor of poet Edgar Allan Poe, whose poem "The Raven" is whom the Ravens are named for. They worked the sidelines during home games up until the 2009 season.
Beginning in 2009, Edgar and Allan were retired, and Poe remains as the sole human mascot.
In Edgar and Allan's place, 2 new live Ravens, Rise and Conquer, were named as the 2 new Ravens mascots. Housed and kept at the Baltimore Zoo, Rise and Conquer spent several weeks in training to learn how to deal calmly with the loud noise and number of people at Ravens home games, which is normally over 70,000.
Both Rise and Conquer are handled on the sidelines by zoo handlers during home games. They have quickly become fan favorites, though Poe still gets a lot of attention as well.
