After the death of Prince Clovis Cornelia was made the new viceroy of Area 11. Her main priority, upon arrival, was to locate Zero and extract revenge for the murder of her brother. In order to accomplish her goal she began a campaign to search for him and destroy any other terrorist factions. After unsuccessfully searching for him amongst the Blood of the Samurai she decided to recreate similar conditions as those of the Skirmish in Shinjuku Ghetto in order to draw Zero out. She even went as far as to publicly announce the starting time of the battle.
