Personality: Grumpy and Stubborn he isn't likely to change his mind about anything. He sticks to his ways and finds that some things that are 'new aged' are annoying or bothersome. Can be considered somewhat racist against dogs but can tolerate them and understands that wisdom or working with them for survival. Is terrible with kids, parents often get upset with him for scolding their kits/pups and lecturing them to much. Has littler to no sense of humor and what of one he does is cruel. Despite his old age he's still a skill fighter and hunter except for his lack of stamina. Despite his drawbacks the other pack/clan members find him a good instructor and some consult him on fighting and hunting advice.

Physical Description: Mostly a gray his fur is long and matted in some areas. It isn't uncommon for him to ask the younger pack/clan members or fellow elders with help in grooming himself. Hard amber eyes makes the elder seem unapproachable by some of the less brave cats and dogs. White marking along his cheeks and chin resemble a beard and mustache. White also decorates his chest and paws. The tip of his tail is black and his paw pads are a mixture of pink and black. His teeth are stained yellow and it's rumored of him to have bad breadth.

History: With a purebred show cats as parents, Cornelius was born into a rich and pampered life. But unlike his siblings he lacked the beautiful white fur his mother had and taken after his father. At the age of 8 weeks he and his sibling were sold of for a very high fee. Cornelius was picked out by a rich snobby girl who only got him with her daddy's money. The girl played with him obsessively and painfully for only a week before getting bored with him. He was glad because he was tired of getting his fur and tail pulled and being tossed and shook like a rag doll. Since the girl refused to take care of or train him he never became litter trained and relieved himself wherever he wanted to. The mother of the girl couldn't handle this and so the put him in a humane society.

Luckily for him on of the women who worked there adopted him. He lived with her alone until the age of 3. Around that time she had adopted another cat, a ragdoll. The ragdoll was a female name Jasmine. The two cats were about the same age and after a few months she was pregnant. They had a litter of five, one still born. Three of them were girls and one was a boy. Their owner named the kittens Brutus, Ruby, Dove, and Gloria. Cornelius and Jasmine named the still born hope. After eight weeks the kittens were being sold and shipped off to families. The loss of her kittens put Jasmine in a chronic state of depression and ended up killing her. Cornelius grieved for her for years but wouldn't allow himself to face the same fate.

Since he was an indoor/outdoor cat he often heard new from the other local cats. When word reached his ear that house pets were rebelling he couldn't resist the opportunity. He convinced himself that the only way to save other cats from his mates fate was for them all to be free. Free to keep their kittens and live with who they want to. That was the path for him. By now he was almost the age of 6.

Years went by the he spent learning the ways of a street cat. He joined the foundling and sucked up all the knowledge he could, now a 9 year old elder he shares his knowledge with the weaker and newest escapees. But he can't handle being around children because of the memories of his kittens.
