Cornelia

Cornelia is a feline therianthrope female who is a spy working for the king. She is devious and wants nothing more than to serve who she is working for and then some. She knows people in high places, she is wealthy and pretends to be a whore who only knows loyalty to Rowan. She seeks knowledge and power, she guides Rowan to his darkest thoughts. She is determined to find out if he is the one true heir who can take back the kingdom.

She has spent a great deal of time in the past looking for the true heir, but when she finds Rowan she's certain he is the one. He suddenly withdraws from her, however, when he and Alba are planning a coup and she gets angry. She spoils the coup and tries to have both Rowan and Alba arrested when Death intervenes. Because of Cornelia's actions, Rowan and Alba are forced to leave the country with Death and head for Kynigos.
