Cornelius Mazurka is a musician. He once conducted a "seventy-five-piece consort of brassmen and hadros" in Ruhmsburg. He lives in a partially collapsed tower of the ruined bridge over the Jubila River. He remained among the ruins living a hermit's existence, along with his dinosaur partner Henriette, after most citizens fled from the city. He maintains a collection of antique instruments, though no one plays them but himself.
