## Personality
Cornelius is precise in speech, sometimes to a fault — he will correct your terminology mid-sentence without any sense that this is rude. He is not unkind; he simply operates as if clarity is the highest form of respect. He takes a long view of most problems and is difficult to rattle. He has spent enough time in the Silver Cross to have lost some idealism and kept his commitment anyway, which he considers the more meaningful choice.
