== Profile Overview ==
Cornelius is a loner prince of the kingdom of titania that was supposedly next in line to the throne of titania to became the next king as a successor after his father king edmund who was cursed into becoming pooka by the older twin brother of his love partner velvet, in order to prevent him from having relationship with her as velvet's older twin brother disapproves their relationship to their different social status at the time of the main storyline event, but despite having disagreements from both sides of their family, the two continued to love each other unconditionally, cornelius father also disapproves his relationship with velvet that his father described as "jungle witch" and tell him to marry someone who also bears a royalty background as them because they are honorable and felt better compared to the "witch jungle" he will love to marry as his father says to him.
He was a lone royalty figure of his generation in their imperial monarch family, as cornelius does not have any siblings, he was the only child of his parents through his father king edmund and his father's unknown lover who was the unmentioned mother of cornelius, though he had a cousin named oswald however they never had any direct contact with each other and they also never acknowledged each other as cousins, so this means that both have never known each other during the main storyline event, thus his biological father was banished from the titanian royal family, this makes only him and his father as the existing members of their monarchy at the time, most of the things he do before the main storyline events is to take adventure to find some little enjoyment in his lifetime or possibly just to find to somebody where he can talk, this habit of cornelius himself that he kept doing over and over until eventually he stumbled across and meet velvet during one of his trips outside of their kingdom that would going to make a change later in his lifetime bringing him a total true joy as he eventually find someone that will comfort him and have somebody to be into.

Cornelius is the only notable non-valentinian pooka in the main storyline, he later allied himself with the rest of other pooka in order to have a group of companions that can help his curse situation where he can have somebody that will talk to him that will reduce the burden of his lone depression while being on the pooka form state, which are all valentinian and fight some of them who became goblins to retrieve the valentine coins that was taken away from them by king valentine who ordered that the coins must be thrown away into the lava pool pit in the volkenon lava pits to melt the coins away to prevent the pooka cursed surviving valentine citizens to grant a wish of becoming humans again.
He is one of the two last surviving living beings along with velvet whom is the other one to witness the main storyline event and lived the longest due to the fact they became pookas during lifetime at that time although velvet only became pooka at the very end of armageddon event period that both gave them an infinite lifespan and this curse would stay intact in their body for over 1038 years until they finally collected all the valentine coins and decided to give up their pooka form curse state after a little short debate where to make wish or not to the spirit of king valentine to favor of becoming humans again, as the curse is dangerous to bear that can make their flesh give up later if still continued to bear on, velvet and cornelius are the only notable pookas that are able to use the valentine coins to make a wish of becoming humans again through the spirit of king valentine.

=== Defining Justifications ===
King valentine wants the real and pooka formed cornelius to understand the reason for it completely and entirely by offering to tell him a story a reason why choose to make his own citizens to suffer at his hands, he told him that a long time ago there was a king with "benevolent" powers as king valentine refers to himself in his story and that he wants to keep his people to be happy at all times and because of it, he decided to put all of his powers in the valentine coins that will be shared to everyone of the citizens of valentine kingdom but instead of thriving it his country was destroyed because of a traitor as king valentine explains to prince cornelius and instead of mourning his death they called him a mad tyrant for cursing his own country. 
The real and pooka formed cornelius reminds king valentine if didn't he use the cauldron against his own land to destroy it and king valentine replied to it that doesn't matter anymore and that his powers and his virtuous spirit has been infused into the coins of the valentine kingdom, he also told cornelius that if all of the valentine coins will be tossed in the fire pit of the fire kingdom his powers would return to him as he says to him and blames his goblin pawns again, but king valentine decided to declare pardon for them by saying that he will let them go instead since he "was" a forgiving person as he claims to himself and that he still have a hope and king valentine then spawns a large single egg in which he described that it should not be understimated. 
He tells the real and pooka formed cornelius that the egg is a dragon egg that was part of the prophecies which is destined to doom the entire life of the living and the world and king valentine says to the real and pooka formed cornelius that the dragon inside the egg is called "leventhan" according to the "valentine" prophecies as he tells to him, the real and pooka formed cornelius remembers what wagner dragon has told him before about the prophecy and the valentine kingdom which hints him that the dragon was referring to king valentine and his egg causing the real and pooka formed cornelius to say the "dragon egg" in his word. 
King valentine tells him that his fury will burn the world and that he will be giving all of his powers to the dragon inside the egg then he puts his king crown in the top of the dragon egg shell and that he entrusts everything to the dragon inside the egg and king valentine then commands the dragon inside the egg to come out to reveal itself and show it's strength and he casts a spell towards the egg to break it's shell causing the baby dragon inside the egg to bail out from it and revealing itself to the real and pooka formed cornelius. 
While the top shell of the egg remains on it's head and the king crown it wears, the baby dragon and the real and pooka formed cornelius later goes into battle with one another resulting to cornelius victory and putting the baby dragon into unconsciousness temporarily. 
=== Background Discovery ===
As king valentine saw his battle with his baby dragon and his victory over t, he was shocked to see the real and pooka formed cornelius incredible fighting skills against his baby dragon and he blames the gem stone jewels of the netherworld as the main reason why his powers we're weakening and that the gem stone jewels of the netherworld we're withering away while he was in the netherworld as he claims and because of the real and pooka formed cornelius incredible fighting skills it made king valentine asks who he was and the real and pooka formed cornelius introduces his name to king valentine and that he was the prince of titania kingdom, and king valentine quickly recognize the fact that he was the son of king edmund and tells cornelius that he cannot understand why he has the "mystic" blue psypher sword of titania.
But he declares that he understands the reason why the "patricidal" blue psypher sword was given to him in the first place and tells cornelius that there is something that his father king edmund never told him before that he killed his father gallon to take the crown of titania from him, however the real and pooka formed cornelius insists that could never be done by his father king edmund and that his grand father was killed by a demon beast during it's attack in their kingdom homeland then he tells king valentine that his father king edmund was frightened when he have seen his blue psypher sword he carries with him and that the voice in the netherworld who gave him the blue psypher sword knows him well but insist that could never be his grand father gallon.
King valentine tells cornelius that his grand father gallon was weeping in his prison in the netherworld and that he was slain by his own son edmund for killing their own citizens of their kingdom homeland but the real and pooka formed cornelius tells king valentine that he thought that his father king edmund was a savior of their kingdom homeland and was given the crown for it and that he was saying that the demon beast was his grand father gallon, cornelius illogically cannot believe with king valentine words of explanation to him as he hears the past regarding of his kingdom homeland and his father what happened back then and that king gallon uses the titanian secret royal power by becoming a demon beast to stop his army invading his kingdom homeland titania which crushed his ground forces in his feet and that they we're scattered because of it.
King valentine then tells cornelius that there is no time for having an anger to it and that the "beast" who was his grand father gallon continued to rampage in their kingdom homeland for seven days and as the real and pooka formed cornelius hears this he understand the fact that his father killed the demon beast who was his grand father in order to save their kingdom homeland and king valentine tells him that he should be grateful for his father king edmund for killing his grand father gallon for becoming an insane of rampaging in their own kingdom homeland.
He also tells the real and pooka formed cornelius that if his grand father gallon did not use the titanian royal secret power of becoming a demon beast he would've invaded their kingdom homeland completely and that invasion of their kingdom homeland by him would had been much easier if not because of it, as cornelius hears this he understands the fact that it was the reason why his father king edmund was stubborn.
The fire pit of the fire kingdom later crumbles as their conversation goes by and king valentine says that if king onyx finds them there it would not be a good thing for both of them then he took and carries the unconscious body of the baby dragon that cornelius previously fought and cornelius asks where he was going with the baby dragon with him in his hands and king valentine replied that he will go to the fire kingdom's purgatory to heal the baby dragon's health and strength and that he also bids farewell to the world until it dies, then king valentine leaves cornelius after saying this to him which leaves him speechless from it afterwards.

Ingway overhears this and laugh and tells urzur to look closer to the so called titrel ring if it is the real existing one, urzur then look closely and discovered that the titrel ring he possess was a fake one causing him to throw it off the ground and calls ingway a filthy scoundrel and that he will regret it, cornelius interrupts the conversation and tells ingway to listen to him that velvet was given to the dragon for the sacrifice, urzur then tells ingway that he is having it and asks that velvet was his younger twin sister and that he plans to sacrifice velvet to the dragon servant he have him in the sewers called belial, ingway over hears this and calls him a scheming devil, urzur tells ingway that he cannot speak for others and that if he defies him he simply could kill velvet at any time and that if they will give the titrel ring to him he will let him go as urzur says to both cornelius and ingway, but then ingway heals cornelius with health and strength then asks him to rescue velvet.
Cornelius then leaps over urzur and runs away from him and ingway in the scene, ingway then approaches urzur and tells him that he should not go anywhere that he will be his opponent, urzur then realizes that ingway is unwilling to give the ring of titrel to him, as cornelius runs through the sewers of titania he encounters the dragon that was about to eat the tied velvet in the chains, cornelius quickly confronted the dragon that he should not touch and stay away from the valentine princess who was chained in the maze sewers of titania, the dragon tells cornelius to stay away from him and that those who approach will meet his fangs and that urzur commands it over.
Then cornelius asks the dragon that why a noble dragon like it serves a foul sorcerer, the dragon replies to cornelius that the "foul" sorcerer urzur enslaves it with a magic in it's heart forcing him to obey what urzur tells it to do and that the dragon cannot disobey urzur in his commands, the dragon tells cornelius that if he have a power then he should save it's tormented soul from the enslaving magic of urzur and that the dragon cannot bear the magic slave of urzur that was put to it and attacking the innocent humans and hide in the stinking sewer of titania, the dragon tells cornelius if he feel any pity for the dragon, it advices to kill it for good, the two later goes into battle with one another, resulting in cornelius victory and wounding the dragon seriously.

==Relationships==
=== Princess Velvet of the Valentine Kingdom ===
He loves Velvet and she him in return, he sees her as being beautiful beyond compare and wishes to marry her over the woman his father arranged with Aesir princess, more than likely Gwendolyn, much to his father's disapproval. He sees himself as a valiant knight to her wanting to protect her and more than willing to risk harm and even his very life. As such when he is cursed into a pooka he see's himself as a beast and is unfit for her love, despite this he still loves her and wishes to help her when he can. But his appearance affects his confidence in his relationship as again he feels his current look is unfit for her beauty. It's not until his identity is revealed by other pooka's that he has to confront the truth, to his surprise she has no issue with his appearance. Similar to Cornelius she wishes to protect him from all harm and is more than willing to sacrifice herself to do it. Which creates a bit of a looping contridiction in which they both wish to protect each other and are willing to sacrifice themselves for each other but they refuse to see the perform said sacrifice.
That being said they are extremely devoted to each other as their love is enough to sustain them for centuries when they were both afflicted by the pooka curse as together they would gather the coins to use Valentine's wish to remove the curse. Even when they got the final coin and began the wish Cornelius wished to not break the curse at first so he could love Velvet forever. However Velvet was able to convince him that it would be best to live and grow old together and eventually die as they had seen the world be reborn with Gwendolyn's and Oswald's children allow humanity to continue. Once the curse is broken they promise to stay together till death do them part.
=== Prince Ingway of the Valentine Kingdom ===
Ingway despises Cornelius so much so he would place the Poooka Curse on Cornelius as a means to dissaude him from Velvet's hand. Cornelius is originally hostile to him but upon learning that he's Velvet's brother, he is conflicted. After their initial meet they do not meet again till later though Ingway is impressed by Cornelius' skill and tenacity. It's not until Armageddon that he completely relents and acknowledges Cornelius and does express some remorse at cursing him.
=== Demon Lord Odin ===
He is the first one who informed and explained cornelius his curse transformation and demon lord odin also explained that the sword weapon he wields formally once belonged to the previous king of titania and that he was the maker of that weapon that he gifted to the previous king of titania as a form of gratitude, he told him that his curse is so powerful enough that almost no spell can break it not even his own powers, although he was denial at cornelius claims at first, but he was wondering that it would be a regret waste not to ensure his claims that could be true, demon lord odin decided to give him a test to prove the legitimacy of his claims by winning a battle over their top warlord general brigan, when cornelius won the fight over him, demon lord odin finally believes him and acknowledged his claims then he granted him permission to cross over his kingdom as he was escorted one of his princesses through the edge of the eastern borders of their kingdom until he is able to leave on his own out of it and make his crossing through the elrit forest until he gets back to his kingdom homeland.
=== King Edmund of Titania ===
As his son and only heir King Edmund wants Cornelius to succeed him, similar to Gallon he wants Cornelius to go through with an arranged marriage. However unlike his father he did not go mad with rage when Cornelius expressed a desire to marry someone else for love. While Edmund originally scoffed the idea and even used his brother's death as an example he changed his mind when he finally met Velvet. Also when Cornelius first approaches him as a pooka he dismisses him but it's not until Cornelius mentions the conversation he had involving Velvet that Edmund believes his identity. Though upon seeing the blue psypher sword on his back that he becomes fearful and calls for his guards. Later on when Cornelius kills Belial and Urzur that Edmund tries to crown Cornelius as his sucessor and gives his blessings to marry Velvet. However Cornelius is well aware that the kingdom would not want a pooka for a king and tells his father to do his best to rekindle the people's faith in him. This however would be for naught as the Armageddon would trigger soon after this.
=== Urzur the White Sorcerer ===
Cornelius is initially dismissive of Urzur considering little more than a jester. It's after being cursed that he realizes the true danger of Urzur, as he becomes aware of Urzur's magical might and his ruthless cunning in controlling his father and the kingdom by proxy. Once he is aware of the truth he hunt's down Urzur into the Sewers he would battle Belial and would pierce Belial's heart nullifying the spell on it, Belial would use the last of his strength to devour the Sorcerer.
=== King Gallon ===
King Gallon would meet Cornelius in the Netherworld, and upon hearing his name would know who Cornelius was. However he would conceal the truth and would give Cornelius the Psypher Blade to help him escape and would ask that Cornelius stop Armageddon from happening. Ultimately it would be a promise Cornelius couldn't keep through no fault of his own. Cornelius would discover that Gallon was his grandfather later on after deducing the fear of his father for the blade and would understand why Gallon asked for the prophecy to be stopped. In the false ending when they meet again Cornelius would speak with his grandfather and with a heavy heart would begin battling him. However since Cornelius didn't have Odette's power Gallon would just regenerate endlessly and would ultimately be devoured by his grandfather who would lament that nothing could stop his destructive impulses.
=== King Valentine the Great ===
Cornelius and Valetine's Relationship is very simplistic. Valentine used Cornelius in order to escape the Land of the Dead Cornelius unaware of his true identity nor his insanity. When they met again it would be during the battle for the Cauldron where he would go to find Velvet only then would he be aware of his identity. They would meet again in the land of the Vulcans when Valentine ordered the Goblins to snatch the coins to melt these down and restore his powers. Cornelius would express disgust at Valentine's selfish desires and would fight off Leventhan that Valentine would give his crown to imbuing it with his power.
=== Meril ===
Meril would be the first pooka to really greet and help Cornelius. She would show kindness and helpfulness to Cornelius as well as informing him on subjects he had no knowledge of such as the fact that goblins were citizen's of Valentine with evil hearts. She would greatly admire his bravery and skill with a blade possibly hinting to a growing affection for him. Ultimately though those feelings were never fully developed as she would die in the Armageddon along with many other pooka.
=== Master Krois ===
Master Krois would inform Cornelius of the History of Valentine and the land of Erion, he revealed him and his partner velvet that he is not sure whether if one of them or both but "(most likely not)" will going to survive the armageddon but he usually pinpoints that only two people could survive and he was sure that it was not them who will be those people, however he was proven wrong here since they we're able to survive the armageddon despite he predicted them they will not as he assumed it that way having an amount confidence with his words for them based on the prophecies.
== Notable Committed Murders ==
* Belial - In order to stop the dragon from causing a destruction and to free it from the slave control of the Three Wise Men, Urzur was the one who controls dragon Belial at that time when the dragon was fighting Cornelius.
* Ingway - When Ingway attempted to destroy the Cauldron with the power of Darkova he would be enslaved by Beldor who had become a revenant. Cornelius would learn that it was him and would fight Ingway, after a fierce battle Cornelius defeated Ingway severing 2 of his three heads and returning Ingway to human form. However the battle had exhausted the pair and Ingway would soon succumb to his greivous wounds while Cornelius would be too exhausted to do more than talk. However Ingway would speak with Velvet before his death who would remark that his mother would be waiting to punish her 'bad' son. Ingway would die thinking of Mercedes unable to understand why.
==Abilities ==
Cornelius possesses great swordskills, which haven't diminished even in his diminutive Pooka form. As a Pooka, Cornelius can move fast and has great agility, giving him high speed mobility in battle.
==Gameplay==
During the gameplay, Cornelius is a Pooka warrior with a Pyspher Sword. Due to his small size, Cornelius is a small target to hit and can move quite fast. He also has the ability to do a rapid-spin slash move that allows him to damage and bounce off of enemies.
Cornelius fights against Odette, Brigan, (Ingway) Velvet, Wagner, Mercedes, Leventhan, Belial, and due to the prophecy, he is the foe against Ingway in his Darkova form.
As with other characters as of Leifthrasir, he has recieved a huge update in terms of gameplay and mechanics. Firstly he loses his rolling slash as it's initial input. Instead it's his aerial version of the sliding attack. On the ground it becomes a hopping spinning slash with the final slash doing wall bounce. Also he has a unique crouch attack with 3 versions, the first version being if one lightly taps the attack button he'll do sliding kick. If one holds it briefly he'll do a slash and if one holds it longer the sword glow with a blue flame, which has 3 stages. Each stage results in the same attack which is a spinning attack followed by a jumping slam. However when he jumps if one holds the down direction he will do a downward stab that can bounce on enemies damaging them replacing his rolling slash. Cornelius' magic element is electricity which gives him access to the stun condition which is great against all enemies save bosses. He also becomes a much more hard hitting character as a lot of his attacks can easily send enemies flying and also cause both wall and ground bounces. In compensation he is slightly slower while also being slightly more tanky while some of his more powerful attacks requires him to acively charge up before unleashing his full might giving him several openings and requireing the stun mechanic from his magic. In summary he is a hard hitting tank who requires his magic to unleash his more powerful techniques.
