==Blaseball Career==
Radiocarbon dating indicates that Games was born sometime in the Anteumperial Epoch, and almost immediately turned to a life of larceny. After building a successful career as Charleston's best-dressed footwear liberator, he set his sights on the ultimate heist: the large stockpiles of blaseball shoes held by the teams. As part of his plan, he (and others) formed the Shoe Thieves as a front organization, using connections made through his husband to gain a foothold into the blaseball world. The team surprised everyone, themselves included, by being somewhat competent blaseball players. 
Also known as the "Big Games Hunter", Games is considered to be one of the Shoe Thieves' most valuable pitchers, displaying this value by pitching in a full three-piece seersucker suit. Games has a flair for the dramatic, and as such allows runs early in games to create tension in the later innings. Every run is intentional.
Games has a reputation for getting outs not by striking out opposing batters but by coaxing them into swinging at pitches that produce easy fielding outs for his teammates. Even experienced batters well known for their plate discipline may be neutralized with this tactic. Games's long time rival and former teammate Workman Gloom said of his pitching style:The worst thing about batting against Corn is that you really oughta know better. Every time you walk up saying to yourself this time I'm gonna just stand there and take the walk, and every time you tell yourself that this time is different and he's made a mistake and you can get a decent hit off him. And every time, he makes a fool of you. I've known that man longer than almost anyone and somehow, I'm still falling for it, after all these years. 
Some cigarette cards have been discoveredhttps://twitter.com/rifflesby/status/1292189945352736768 that appear to depict Games pitching for Charleston as early as 1887, well before the Internet League was established. It is unclear what implications this might have for the history of the game, reality, or Cornelius himself. 
==Personal Life==
Prior to joining Internet League Blaseball, Cornelius Games met former New York Millennials player Richardson Games at a fashion show. The two bonded over their love of designer suits, vintage footwear, and other clothing, and were soon wed. Cornelius and Richardson Games are both notoriously private, and do not often talk about their marriage. Regardless, a few more details can be gathered.
<choose uncached="">
<option>The couple married for "tax purposes" after a year of close friendship, according to an anonymous source. Shortly after their first anniversary, however, Cornelius was overheard telling then-teammate Workman Gloom that feelings had inadvertently blossomed forth, and they were "giving romance a shot."</option>
<option>Despite starting out in the league on separate teams, the pair kept their relationship fresh through sustained banter on the field. Teammate Esme Ramsey is quoted as saying "I'm glad they're on the same team now, having to play with Corny's 'romantic snark' in the background was driving me up the wall."</option>
<option>The couple seem to have grown steadily further and further apart over the past few years. According to an anonymous source, their relative stubbornness and emotional constipation is what continues to prevent either of them from seeking marriage counseling or divorce.</option>
<option>During the first three seasons, it was theorized that the rivalry between the Millennials and the Thieves was putting a strain on the couple's relationship. Fans and teammates reported that they were not often seen together, and that when asked about their partner either of the two Gameses would adopt a sour expression and change the subject. After Richardson' transfer, however, their relationship appears to be on the up and up. The two were seen renewing their vows at Sunken Charleston's Drive-Thru Wedding Venue, Bar, and Grille during . The flower girl, a then-two year old Velazquez Alstott, threw rose petals in the reporter's face when asked for a comment.</option>
<option>When asked about their marriage the pair frequently give wildly varying and outlandish answers, prompting some to theorize that rumors of marital issues –or perhaps their entire relationship– has all been a distraction to divert attention away from the group’s various heists.</option>
<option>The Games’ famously hot and cold relationship has been apparently on the rocks since shortly after Cornelius founded the Shoe Thieves. In recent seasons the couple has been spotted publicly interacting more, although it is unclear if this new civility will lead to meaningful reconciliation </option>

(Please refresh for an alternate interpretation)
Games specializes in stealing tuxedo shoes. Unlike most of the Shoe Thieves, Games proudly wears and flaunts his pilfered footwear. To combat theft of said kicks by his fellow teammates, Games wears multiple shoes nested inside of one another like a Matroyshka doll.
