Early life
Radiocarbon dating indicates that Games was born sometime in the Anteumperial Epoch, and almost immediately turned to a life of larceny. After building a successful career as Charleston's best-dressed footwear liberator, he set his sights on the ultimate heist: the large stockpiles of blaseball shoes held by the teams. As part of his plan, he (and others) formed the Shoe Thieves as a front organization, using connections made through his husband to gain a foothold into the blaseball world. The team surprised everyone, themselves included, by being somewhat competent blaseball players.
Blaseball Career
Also known as the "Big Games Hunter", Games is considered to be one of the Shoe Thieves' most valuable pitchers, displaying this value by pitching in a full three-piece seersucker suit. Games has a flair for the dramatic, and as such allows runs early in games to create tension in the later innings. Every run is intentional.
Some cigarette cards have been discovered that appear to depict Cornelius pitching for Charleston as early as 1887, well before the Internet League was established. It is unclear what implications this might have for the history of the game, reality, or Cornelius himself.
Personal Life
Prior to joining Internet League Blaseball, Cornelius Games met New York Millennials player Richardson Games at a fashion show. The two bonded over their love of designer suits and other clothing, and were soon wed.
Lately, Games has been seen patronizing Charlestons' finest eating establishments, accompanied by King Weatherman. Both were, in typical fashion for each, dressed to the nines. Games has refused to comment on any potential relationship with the star pitcher of his rival team, and the style of dress fails to signal anything out of the ordinary. Photographs of the pair brushing hands while taking a stroll down the Sunken Charleston Memorial Boardwalk have been published, but the non-existence of said boardwalk brings their veracity into question.
Cornelius specializes in stealing tuxedo shoes. Unlike most of the Shoe Thieves, Cornelius proudly wears and flaunts his pilfered footwear. To combat theft of said kicks by his fellow teammates, Cornelius wears multiple shoes nested inside of one another like a Matroyshka doll.
