+ | ==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. | ||
