The Hall Monitor
Born into a family with an exaggerated sense of self-importance, Cornelius was raised to believe he was destined for greatness. His father, Cornelius Von Schukelph�ck Jr., often reminisced about the family legacy, while his mother, Maddy Dukenschitt (yes, of *that* Dukenschitt line), proudly touted her aristocratic roots. Despite these lofty expectations, Cornelius peaked in high school as the hall monitor, a role he took so seriously that he wrote a 37-page manifesto on hallway safety.After graduation, he failed the police academy entrance exam three times before landing a job as a mall cop�a position he insists is �one step below federal agent.� Cornelius now spends his days patrolling the local mall, handing out �engagement demerits� to teenagers loitering in food courts and dreaming of the day he�ll have a son to carry on the Von Schukelph�ck legacy. His ultimate goal? To be recognized as a legitimate enforcer of justice�or at least to have his own parking spot.
