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.
