Appearance
Cornelius is a lean, muscular man of average height in his mid thirties. He has a tan skin color along with light blonde hair and goatee on his chin that turns white at night for some unknown reason. His eyes are a dark yellow along with slit-like pupils giving him a cat-like look. Underneath his armor his right arm has scars from stitches at his elbow, due to a previous event that caused him to lose his right arm. Covering his entire right chest towards his right shoulder and ending at his elbow is a set of black colored runes that he uses for his Rune Magic.

Cornelius’s normal attire consists of full body armor underneath a red and white sleeveless robe with a hood attached. The robe goes down to his ankles and splits down the middle starting from his chest, revealing his armor. His armor is a grey color with the limbs ending at the knees and elbows of his legs and arms respectively with a short darker grey tasset attached to his waist over his thighs. Underneath his armor he wears short-sleeve, high collar buttoned maroon shirt with white trims while wearing blue pants. Over his lower legs and feet he wears knee-length brown leather boots with several straps on them. Over his forearms and hands Cornelius wears dark blue long-sleeve fingerless gloves that reach towards his elbows while leaving his fingers out. Attached to them are several of his Capturer Containment Orbs. Over his left middle and pointer finger are his Communication Ring and Containment Release Ring respectively.

Personality
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. Surprisingly this gives Cornelius praise from most of his higher-ups and even from members of the Magic Council, seeing this as getting rid of thugs and those who would tarnish both the Council and Rune Knight’s name.

Despite his rather strict approach, Cornelius is also a sociable person. He can be enjoyable to be with and converse and usually speaks with his subordinates in order to know them better, earning respect from his peers. He is also well liked by the people due to his interactions with them during his times off. But on a mission or in battle, Cornelius becomes serious and focus. He never misses a single detail and makes sure his orders are followed, holding an authoritative attitude when giving commands. That is why he has many successes in his career and earned to gratitude of citizens as well the Magical Council, ensuring that no force may arise to become a threat to the world.

Cornelius is also not one to show off, not using his title and rank to get what he wants. Nor is he easily lured by taunts, retaining a calm and focus mind on the situation at hand. 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. Many of his 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.

Rune Magic: Cornelius has proven to be a master of Rune Magic, creating the letters no matter the current situation. 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. A creative way is that Cornelius has imbued many of his swords with different runes already, giving him the element of surprise during a battle when he summons them. He can create even more advance runes right away or sometimes he just combines different runes for even greater outcomes. He creates most of his ruins with chants, hand signs or by sliding his fingers across a surface.

While the clone does not possess as much magic as the original, it is very durable, capable of taking on numerous hits before dispersing.


 * Rune: Acid: A rune that creates a corrosive substance that eats away at the enemies flesh. Cornelius also adds this rune to his swords, in order to inject the substance into his enemies. This causes the target to feel a lethal side effect that makes their flesh rot slowly and allows Cornelius to capture them easier.

 * Absolute Cube: Cornelius creates a three-dimensional cube around a certain area and completely blocks off the inside from the outside, serving as the perfect safe zone or prison. The cube feeds off the magical particles in the atmosphere thus doesn't require Cornelius's magic. It can also reflect any attacks on it back towards the attacker.


 * Rune: Bright: A rune that allows Cornelius to use of a blinding light. This light is bright enough to blind enemies long enough for Cornelius to attack. He also imbues his blade with this rune, giving them light elemental based properties.

 * Rune: Vanish: 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: Quad-Resonance: One of Cornelius's more advanced spells. By combining the Runes Blaze, Thunder, Cyclone and Rock, he summons all four elements together to create a large, devastating explosion.

Telekinesis: 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.
