The City of Lieraeth

A middle-aged human male with a slender build and unkempt dark hair streaked with gray. He has deep-set green eyes that seem to hold a world of secrets. He dresses in elegant but slightly worn clothing, often seen in a long, dark coat and a beret, with paint-stained fingers.

Cornelius is introspective and enigmatic, often lost in thought. He is kind-hearted but distant, preferring the company of his art to that of people. His reclusive nature hides a deep well of creativity and a longing for connection.

Cornelius grew up in a wealthy family but chose a life of solitude, dedicating himself to his art and poetry. His estate, filled with his creations, is rumored to hide a dark secret within its sprawling hedge maze, a remnant of his family's past.
