Disclaimer: Don't own 'em - not making any money off 'em. Dern it.


Cornelius knew a lot of people thought he was easily swayed by money, and maybe in some respects he was. Money talked, especially when it was donated to worthwhile causes.

That wasn't his reason for his close relationship to Lucius, though. He knew what people said. They talked about Lucius bribing him to overlook his many dealings, but they were wrong.

Lucius was his friend. He might have some rough edges, but Cornelius knew the man beneath the mask. Lucius was a man who would do anything for the ones he loved. His loyalty was unwavering if you were lucky enough to earn it.

Cornelius would do anything he could to protect Lucius, even if it meant ignoring the law.
