Cornell (Lords of Shadow)

''This article is about the Lord of Shadow Cornell. For information about the Cornell from Legacy of Darkness, please see Cornell.''

Cornell is the first of the Lords of Shadow, Dark Lord of the Lycanthropes. He holds a piece of the God Mask.

In-game storyline
Cornell is one of the three main bosses of the game and rules over a large part of the land of the ancient city known as Agharta with his lycan army. Cornell when encountered tells Gabriel that the Lords of Shadow are dark, twisted remnants of the bodies of the three founders of the Brotherhood of Light after their spirits ascended to Heaven, and he confirms that he is one of them. This is also touched upon with his human appearance as he is shown to be wearing Brotherhood armor on the lower part of his body. Gabriel condemns the actions and pain that Cornell has caused, but Cornell is quick to remind him that if he kills him then he will also kill the ascended spirit of his "brother" and he remarks that while his "brother" may accept this, he himself won't go down willingly.

A battle then ensues between the pair with Cornell taunting Gabriel at regular intervals. Eventually, a wounded and worn down Cornell slams his war hammer into the ground, burying it, and transforms into his Lycanthrope form, a huge powerful beast capable of immense speed and devastating physical attacks. Despite this, however, he is eventually defeated by Gabriel, who pulls him to his knees with the Combat Cross and then retrieves the beast's own war hammer from the ground, using it to strike him about the head with such force as to cause the hammer to break. Gabriel then impales the broken shaft of the hammer through the roof of Cornell's mouth, killing him.

After this Gabriel is rewarded with Cornell's Cyclone Boots, which grant him extraordinary speed.

It has been confirmed that he is not the same Cornell as the one playable in Judgment and Legacy of Darkness.
