The Hall Monitor

Cornelius Von Schukelphück III

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 Schukelphück 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 Schukelphück legacy. His ultimate goal? To be recognized as a legitimate enforcer of justice—or at least to have his own parking spot.
