Losing his parents at a young age and living in an orphanage almost his entire life, Cornelius knows the very meaning of hard work and has a strong sense of justice. Having to climb up towards adulthood and getting to where he is now, Cornelius doesn’t take anything for granted and holds a strong love for the people, whom Cornelius believes he must protect. He looks down upon greed, arrogance and the self-centered, seeing them as a sign of doom and does not tolerate anyone who would misuse their authority, whether they are noblemen or his own superiors. Cornelius also has great love for children, having been an orphan for as long as he could remember, and wishes to do his best to protect them from the horrors of being alone. Cornelius does his best to prevent civilian casualty and while abiding the law, he will sometimes bend the rules a bit in order to fulfill his mission.

Cornelius takes great pride as a Rune Knight, seeing them as the only hope of protecting the weak and innocent from the cruel and mad. He does not tolerate any forms of injustice or favoritism and is not above from punishing his own subordinates if they misuse their position as Rune Knights. In fact he’s been known for court-martialing dozen of Rune Knights if they threaten the citizens or show extreme signs of prejudice.

He is also very efficient as stated before, getting the job done and has become seen as someone whom can be relied on. Cornelius is generous too, willing to help people in need when he sees something is wrong as well as giving credit to his men rather then himself.

History
Cornelius comes from a long line of wandering Druids though the origin is not entirely known. Cornelius lost his parents when he was only six and was placed into an orphanage soon after. The orphanage was in a small town near the forest areas of Fiore and Cornelius's only reminder of his parents was a book of spells that his father owned. It became one of his most treasured items and to this day Cornelius still holds onto it as it was where he first gained his magic.

During his time in the orphanage, Cornelius gain a strong sense of justice and protecting the weak. This made him stand up for children against bullies as well as prejudice from people who mocked him and the other orphans for not having parents. At the age of twelve Cornelius had already mastered the use of magic, having begun to use telekinesis. He also began practicing swordsmanship by using long sticks in the nearby forest. Many of the townsfolk noted Cornelius's prodigal skills of magic and swordplay, with the young man defeating people of the same art that were twice his age and size.

When he was fifteen a group of fifty bandits, led by a dark mage, arrived and attacked the town. Cornelius tried to use his magic to fight back but could only defeat twenty of the bandits before the dark mage overpowered him. However the arrival of Rune Knights saved the town and Cornelius's life, defeating the dark mage and the remaining bandits. Because of this Cornelius developed a great deal of respect for the Rune Knights and a desire to become one. He soon left with the Rune Knights to train with them and join their ranks. It was also around that time when Cornelius began to develop an interest with Rune Magic.

Cornelius gained much fame during his time as a Rune Knight. On his first mission he assisted with taking down a large smuggling ring on slavery, drugs and magical artifacts. It was on this mission where he discovered a magical sword that he took in as his own, naming it Getsuren. It was also on that mission where he was recognized for his incredible mastery of combining runes with swords, having defeated several dark mages and over a hundred mercenaries. After that mission he was personally approached by Lahar to join the Rune Knights Custody Enforcement unit.

Many of his later accomplishments revolved around defeating various Dark Guilds linked to the Baram Alliance. He also recovered numerous magical artifacts that were dangerous, many having been created by the Dark Mage Zeref. Cornelius was promoted to Captain of the Enforcement Custody Unit after slaying a Demon of Zeref and arresting a Zeref Cult responsible for summoning it. He also earned respect from the higher ups of the Rune Knights, the Magic Council and the citizens by taking down corrupt Rune Knights that would abuse their authority and ruin the reputation of the Rune Knights and Magic Council. He was eventually given the title as one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Natural Abilities
Immense Magic Power: As a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, mages recognized by the Magic Council as powerful wizards, Cornelius has a vast amount of magical power. The fact that he can cast countless of his Rune Spells in quick succession without even tiring is enough alone to prove how strong he is.

Cornelius has even used his magical aura as an armor of some sorts, protecting him from attacks and even poisonous gas in the air.

Many who have felt his magical power when released are left in a state of fear and awe, with many fainting due to the sudden pressure Cornelius releases.

He battles in a decidedly offensive style—eschewing any type of defensive technique, in favour of speed, and strength; focusing on powerful strikes that "start in a split second" and "end in a split second", meaning that energy isn't miss-used outside the attack. He fights with no-holds-barred, attacking relentlessly without any remorse for his opponent, swinging his sword with wild abandon as to slice into their weak bodies. Cornelius' fighting style focuses on strong, concise strikes that yield heavy damage, while sacrificing speed for more defensive tactics; attacking viciously with large, slow, sweeping movements, creating an unstoppable force which rends the earth with every strike, and devastates the user's opponents, relying on the vast array of options available in order to keep the opponents guessing.

With his swords, Cornelius's strength enables him to slice through solid objects with no trouble at all as well as magical enhanced ones too. In fact his swings are so strong, that he can use the air pressure from the swings to cut through metal.

Superhuman Reflexes and Flexibility: Cornelius has proven to have superb reflexes. He reacts to anything with ease, whether be surprise attacks or fast moving objects. Cornelius has been able to dodge almost any attacks or deflect them with ease using his swords. He can easily avoid vicious barrages of punches and kicks with little trouble while just standing still and can also deflect weapons with his own easily. And combine with his amazing flexibility, Cornelius is quick to adapt to a situation that would usually put someone at disadvantage such as going from fighting one person to two people as well as doing incredible spins in mid air while adjusting his sword grips.

Immense Speed: Cornelius possess incredible speed, some would say superhuman. Even without his magic, Cornelius is capable of moving so fast, that many would have trouble seeing him. He has shown to take down numerous enemies before they have time to react as well as dodge multiple projectiles that would be impossible for most to do. Cornelius can also leap very far, jumping off of buildings with relative ease while fighting at the same time too.

Monstrous Durability: Along with having immense strength and speed, Cornelius's has shown to be a resilient man. He can take having his right arm cut in half and barely showing any signs of pain or slowing down after that. Even when he was a child back at the orphanage, Cornelius has stood up from events that would normally prove deadly for someone so young such as falling from a tree branch ten stories high. He's also endured many spells of different types and merely shrugs it off like it was nothing. Cornelius even once survived crashing through several buildings when fighting a demon of Zeref and just get back up like nothing happened.

Superhuman Endurance: Along with having incredible durability, Cornelius has a high level of stamina and tolerance of pain. He can cast various spells in succession and not show any signs of fatigue or slowing down. Many of his subordinates noted his ability to take one hundreds of enemies, even multiple mages, at once and not tire in the slightest. When battling the demon of Zeref, Cornelius fought it for an entire day without rest and was able to finally defeat it by midnight despite having received severe wounds from it such as two deep slashes on the right side of his body. Even as a child Cornelius was noted for having defeated twenty bandits at the age of fifteen.

Master Tracker: Even at a young age Cornelius had great skills as a tracker. Having grown up in a small country-side town, Cornelius did a lot of exploring in the nearby forest, easily remembering the way back home even when the sun went down.

With just his fists, Cornelius has overpowered large groups of enemies at once as well as those twice his size. He can easily block blows that most others couldn't or wouldn't be able to react in time. Imbuing his runes only increases Cornelius's melee skills. He can also take on highly skilled melee combatants with just his right arm and barely show any signs of trouble too.

Expert Field Medic: While not as skilled, Cornelius has shown signs as a medic. He can heal minor wounds easily with his magic and has a basic understanding of first-aid. Using his rune spell Healing Cornelius has proven to heal fatal wounds as well, though they still need to be checked by a professional just in case.

Magic Abilities
Sword Magic (剣の魔法 Ken no Mahō): Cornelius wields a variety of swords that he uses for this form of magic. Many of them have runes inscribed on them, giving each a unique property. Others he use for spells that require immense strength and speed, while also using telekinesis to control them too.
 * Shot (撮影, Satsuei): A thrusting move, gripping his sword with both hands, Cornelius releases a powerful energy beam from the tip of the sword. The beam goes through anyone or anything directly in front of the blade, leaving a gaping hole as a result. It is also good for charging too, allowing Cornelius to inflict damage to a target or object once the tip of the blade touches them. Cornelius only uses this spell as a last resort, as the target can die from taking a hit. Even an indirect hit can be fatal too.


 * Godspeed: Crossroads (幸運: 十字路, Kōun: Jūjiro): Using his incredible speed, Cornelius charges towards the opponent and delivers a barrage of fast slashes invisible to the naked eye and too fast for the enemy to react in time. These slashes can appear on all sides of the target, both front and back. The spell is also useful for cutting through multiple projectiles and reflecting many attacks. It is also good for breaking defenses and letting Cornelius follow it up with another attack on the opponent.


 * Godspeed: Great Divide (幸運: 生死の境, Kōun: Seishi no Sakai): Similar to its counterpart, this spell however has Cornelius focusing on one single, strong, fast sword strike. Swing Getsuren downwards, Cornelis almost makes it look like a whip being launched when in fact it is a large sword strike cutting everything before it in two clean, separate halves. The force of this sword strike is strong enough to even cut through magical barriers.


 * Blaze Scream (炎悲鳴, Honō Himei): Combining the rune Blaze, to his sword, Cornelius’s blade gains fire going over it. With it he swings his sword and releases a large wave of fire that burns nearly anything in its path.

Cornelius can even retain the flames around his sword to increase the strike at close range.


 * Blade Rain (翼の雨, Tsubasa no Ame): Cornelius summons a large mass of kunai-shaped blades in the air and launches them at his opponent in single, large torrents of blades that cause serious damage to the enemy. They are also good for protecting the user from enemy projectiles, negating them on contact.
 * Blade Rain: Increase Speed (翼の雨: 増加速度, Tsubasa no Ame: Zōka Sokudo): Using Telekinesis and with the rune Accelerate, Cornelius increases the speed of the kunai so fast that they move fast enough that the enemy can’t react in time. The speed empowerment takes the opponent's by surprise, making them unable to counter. Cornelius uses this spell in order to end battles swiftly while keeping the number of casualties down.
 * Blade Rain: Increase Number (翼の雨: 増加番号, Tsubasa no Ame: Zōka Bangō): Using Telekinesis and with the rune Multiply, Cornelius increases the number of the kunai so that the enemy becomes overwhelmed with the number of projectiles come towards them. The increase is also good for catching the opponent off guard. It is also handy for deflecting hostile attacks while still having some kunai left to hit the opponent.
 * Blade Rain: Infinite Increase (翼の雨: 無限増加, Tsubasa no Ame: Mugen Zōka): A combination of the two spells. Cornelius combines both the runes Accelerate and Multiply on the same group of kunai at once. Once done he fires a large barrage of kunai at an incredible speed.

Once doing so a sudden blast of lightning and wind shoots out towards the target. Upon contact the blast expands and turns into a large explosion of sharp wind blade and powerful electricity that can cause paralyzing and deep cuts to anyone nearby. This spell is very powerful as well as big, as it can be seen from miles away due to it taking a large dark round shape of wind and lightning, similar to a storm cloud.


 * Counter Strike (逆撃, Gyakugeki): Using a sword and imbuing it with the rune Reflect, Cornelius waits for the enemy's attack to reach him. Once it is near enough Cornelius's swings the blade sideways and upon doing so, reflects the enemy's spell back towards them, combined with Cornelius's own magic. This makes the attack twice as powerful. Cornelius has been known to use this on larges groups of enemies with high success. The length of the blade (I.E long-sword to dagger) depends on when Cornelius can activate the spell.


 * Stone Gladius (石大剣, Ishidaiken): Imbuing his weapon with the rune Rock, Cornelius swings the sword downwards towards the enemy. Once the blade's tip touches the ground, the earth begins to crack before a large earth spire in the shape of a blade towards the target. The spell is very powerful as it can dispel other attacks and cause massive damage to multiple targets and the surrounding area.

 * Coiling Tornado (巻取竜巻, Makitori Tatsumaki): Placing the rune Air on his sword, Cornelius lunges his blade forward and releases a powerful tornado. The tornado engulfs anything and anyone in its path and send them spiraling upwards with it. Along with the fact that the wind itself is strong, it is also very sharp, capable of leaving multiple cuts on the target's body.

The ring expands rapidly, about half a mile at least, and anything hit by it is struck by a force of a powerful slash right upon contact. Many objects and even living beings have been noted to have been cut cleanly by this spell.


 * Heaven's Judgment: Moon Stream Breaker (天の裁き: 月流遮断器, Tennosabaki: Tsukiru Shadanki): Another powerful spell of Cornelius. Concentrating his magical energy into Getsuren, the energy takes on the form of a bright burning white flame surrounding the blade. Once ready Cornelius performs a strong thrust forward and releases the pent up magical energy as a powerful beam. This spell has proven to highly effective as well as destructive, capable of piercing numerous defenses with ease and defeating powerful opponents. Cornelius's has also dubbed this spell as "The wrath of justice" as a sign of his dedication to uphold the law and justice.


 * Cascada (重ね (カスケーダ), Kasukēda lit. Waterfall): Imbuing the rune Wave with his sword, Cornelius then raises his blade upwards. Once prepared he swings it downwards with great force. Doing so releases a powerful mass of water that comes down to anything in it's path. The sheer force of the large body of water is enough to destroy an entire building and drowning anyone who gets caught in it. This spell can also be greatly enhanced when Cornelius summons existing bodies of water around his blade. Doing so makes the attack larger and have a wider attack radius, basically five miles long and wide.


 * Heaven Divine Sword (天神剣, Tenjinken): A powerful spell that Cornelius has created. By using the rune Transmutation Cornelius uses the clouds above him to form them into a giant white double-edge broadsword with a cross guard in the shape of golden eagle wings and a two-handed black and yellow striped handle.

Even if one is not near the impact zone, they can still take damage from the shockwave caused upon contact.
 * Heaven Divine Sword: Judgment (天神剣: 判決, Tenjinken: Hanketsu): Before the sword can land, Cornelius alters the sword's size to make it smaller until it can be wielded by normal size people. Upon gripping the handle, Cornelius swings the sword and releases a powerful shockwave. The power of the sword is enough to destroy anything in it's path and slice them in half.


 * Thunder Beast Strike (雷獣の衝突, Raijū no Shōtotsu): Imbuing his sword with the rune Thunder, Cornelius gets into a stance with the sword pointing straight forward, electricity coursing around it. Once ready Cornelius thrusts the blade forward. Doing so fires several streams of lightning with the faces of lions at the front forming. The spell is strong enough to defeat low-level mages easily, but it's primary use is it's incredible speed. Cornelius says that this is a time delayed spell, allowing him to strike the opponent with each lightning bolt in multiple succession.


 * Ice Mountain Heaven Fang (氷山天牙, Hyōzan Tenga): Imbuing his sword with the rune Freeze, Cornelius performs a strong upwards slash. Upon doing so he releases a long frozen wave of ice that goes up and curves backwards. At the front of the ice are sharp, frozen hard protrusions that look like fangs. These fangs are very sharp as they can inflict serious damage onto an opponent. And combine that the newly formed ice can freeze anyone near Cornelius when he unleashes instantly makes it a formidable spell.

He has come up with various spells using this magic with most of them being use as support and defense but is well known for using them to enhance his swords for different effects. Cornelius also uses Runes for range offense too and to make traps for his opponents and even various sealing methods too.

 * Rune: Restrain (経典: 抑える, Kyōten: Osaeru): A spell in which Cornelius binds the target in an visible force around their body, holding them in place. It comes with the bonus of sealing off the target's magic too though it can be broken with a suffecient amount of physical strength.
 * Iron Staves Red Rope (鉄杖赤縄, Tetsujō Akanawa): An advanced Rune Spell of Restrain. Cornelius does a circular motion in the air with his finger, leaving a rune behind it. Once done Cornelius launches the runes at the target, which by then the runes morph into long, thin round iron staves. The staves are very fast and almost impossible to dodge unless one has good reflexes and speed. Once the staves have pinned/surrounded the target, red energy in the shape of rope pop out of each stave and connect with one another. Once done the staves have completely made the target immobile. This spell is capable of holding down S-class level mages. Cornelius has also shown to use the rune Multiply in conjunction with this spell, in order to increase the number of staves.


 * Rune: Vanish (経典: 消える, Kyōten: Kieru): After writing the rune, Cornelius can cause whatever he chooses to disappear. This only works on other spells or inanimate objects, meaning people and animals are unaffected.


 * Rune: Image (経典: 画像, Kyōten: Gazō): By creating this rune, Cornelius can create an image of a part of his body (i.e hand or foot) and enlarge it to gigantic proportions. Despite primary belief these images are solid and can cause damage to the opponent following Cornelius's movements. However once they make contact the images disappear.


 * Rune: Quad-Resonance (経典・四拍子共鳴, Kyōten: Shibyōshi Kyōmei): One of Cornelius's more advanced spells. By combining the Runes Blaze, Wave, Air and Rock, he summons all four elements together in the form of spheres circling around him. Then a beam of energy shoots from each sphere, connecting them to one another. Once that is finished Cornelius merges them into one giant blob of energy that is then used to create a large, devastating explosion. This spell has been shown to wipe out large numbers of opponents and was first used on a Demon of Zeref, killing it right away upon contact.


 * Rune: Temple Monk Golden Dragon (経典: 寺僧金竜, Kyōten: Jisō Kinryu): Another of Cornelius more advanced spells. After writing the runes in the air, the runes form a large yellow chinese dragon with puff up cheeks. The dragon then shoots forward at the target, sending them flying. The hand is strong enough to send as something as large a giant back with little trouble. This spell is also effective of pushing back attacks or large numbers of people and can break through any defense.


 * Rune: Transmutation (経典: 核種, Kyōten: Kakushu): This spell is the very pinnacle of Cornelius's mastery of Runes. Forming a circle of runes Cornelius can alter any object imbued or comes in contact with the rune into anything he wants. He has been shown of being able to turn oncoming swords into a flock of doves, turning a dagger into a claymore and even turning people into rats. The effects of the rune depends on the material that Cornelius uses as well as his concentration of changing the object of choice too.

Telekinesis (テレキネシス Terekineshisu): Cornelius is quite proficient with this form of magic, using it many times in unison with his swords, levitating them in the air and attacking his enemies from a distant. He has been shown to lift up various other objects, some even ten times his size, and use them as projectiles with ease. Cornelius also uses this magic to deflect attacks as well as make himself levitate too. When he uses his hands, Cornelius can make the objects he's levitating move faster.

Telepathy (念話 Terepashī): Cornelius is well verse in this form of Magic. He can communicate with anyone within a 7 mile radius and speak to a large number of people at once. He has also shown the ability to hack other people's telepathy too with ease. With that he can also link and speak to the people that the target was originally speaking too. Many people have been unable to overpower this move due to Cornelius's high magical power.
 * Overpower (圧倒, Attō): A unique spell that Cornelius invented. It follows the basic form of Telepathy except when Cornelius uses it to communicate with someone, he sends a rapid set of random images as well as a strong force from his own magical power towards the target's mind. This sudden and powerful force causes the target to become temporarily immobilize and thus allows Cornelius to reach them and quickly incapacitate them.

Teleportation Magic (瞬身の魔法 Shunshin no Mahō): Cornelius is an expert with this magic, capable of traveling over a fair distance with ease. He also uses it in conjunction with his sword techniques too.
 * Flash Strike (閃撃, Sengeki): A spell in which Cornelius teleports a short distance towards his target. When he reaches them, he swiftly flashes pass them while striking them with his sword. This spell is very effective, as the opponent has little time to dodge.

Requip (換装, Kansō): Cornelius uses this magic to store his swords, especially Getsuren, as well as several other items. Such items may be related to his work or just common items like clothing, first aid related items and so forth. Cornelius has proven to be highly skilled with this magic. He can summon a variety of swords quickly during battle without slowing down.

Equipment
Getsuren (月蓮, Moon Lotus): Getsuren is a magical sword and is Cornelius's signature weapon. An item that he recovered on his first mission as a Rune Knight, Cornelius has fully mastered the sword's abilities and combined it with his runes. The sword is a katana with a black, single-edge blade with a round silver guard and a black dark golden striped handle ending with a black ring pommel at the bottom of the handle. The sword is very powerful, capable of creating a great chasm in the earth and uplift a large amount of ground with a single slash and even cut through magical spells too. It's primary ability however is that the blade can be manipulated and extend to great lengths, capable of going over several miles with incredible speed, piercing iron itself with ease. The handle itself can also have it's length altered so that sometimes Cornelius is seen wielding a spear. This gives Cornelius a versatile of different ranges to fight in. When not in use Cornelius's keeps the blade's size short, similar to a short-sword, a sheath within a scabbard hanging on the left side of his waist. The blade is also very durable, having never once been chipped, let alone broken.
 * Mangetsu (満月, Full Moon): According to Cornelius, this is Getsuren's ultimate form, a combine form of both a spear and sword. After spinning the weapon in a counter clockwise direction, the handle becomes longer with a grey color while the blade's length also increases until it is is the same size as the handle itself with a silver color on it. The ring pommel at the bottom of the handle also becomes bigger so that a hand could fit through it. Cornelius explains that this form requires a certain style of wielding it in combat due to its shape, it is still very formidable. Cornelius performs a fighting style that has him spinning the weapon, from the handle or sometimes the pommel, while using acrobatic movements. This gave Cornelius a variety of how to attack the enemy, whether with blade thrusts, blunt/blade swings or blunt strikes. The long handle also made it good for blocking an attack and when Cornelius spins the weapon fast enough he can release strong air pressures that can cut solid objects in half. Sometimes he releases magical energy slashes from the blade imbued with his runes too.
 * Gesshoku: Kokuei/Hakuei (月色: 黒影と白影, Moon Color: Black Shade/White Shade): a move that Cornelius created when he first found the blade. By channeling his rune magical powers into from his body into the blade itself, the blade takes on either a black or white color. Whatever color the blade is, Cornelius can release ink of the same color as he swings Mangetsu. Whatever is covered by the ink loses its name and thus its power. Furthermore by changing the blade into the other form, Cornelius can write on anything that was covered by the first ink color (i.e white over black) and give said object a new name, thus giving it the same properties and powers of said name.

Swords: Cornelius has a large arsenal of swords that he uses in combination with his Rune Magic. His swords are different shapes and sizes and includes claymores, katana, nodachis, rapiers, wakizashi, gladius, machetes, daggers, kunai, knives, and much more.

Lacrima Containment Orbs: A device invented by Cornelius, it makes use of Lacrima to hold multiple enemies at once. The lacrimas are colored a darkish yellow. Cornelius can store one prisoner per lacrima within them, keeping the target in suspended animation until they are released. They are very durable in order to hold the captive within, and only Cornelius knows how to release them. Cornelius keeps them attached to his bracers so he can access them quickly after defeating a criminal.
