==About Doctor Cornelius==
 
-
Cornelius is one of the few scholarly characters in the Chronicles. He has a dual identity as well; as a half-human, half-dwarf, he must conceal his Dwarfish heritage in Telmarine Narnia. But rather than forsake his history, Cornelius turns his scholarship to the problem of reconstructing even a piece of the Old Narnia. He spends his youth looking for Queen [[Susan Pevensie|Susan]]'s legendary Horn, and is successful in his search. Cornelius is a staunch believer in the old tales of the Golden Age of Narnia and [[Aslan]], the Great Lion. Though he is not a warrior, Cornelius' contribution to the war is absolutely essential, as he saves [[Caspian]]'s life and also provides the intellectual basis for the Old Narnian rebellion. All that Cornelius has hoped and worked for is fulfilled when [[Caspian]] takes the throne of Narnia.

*"That is the greatest and most sacred treasure of Narnia. Many terrors I endured, many spells did I utter, to find it, when I was still young. It is the magic horn of Queen Susan herself which she left behind her when she vanished from Narnia at the end of the Golden Age." (PC, Ch.5)
