Connor Freeman (MLIV)

Connor Freeman was a Main Character (formerly semi-main) and an Antagonist in "Miracula Luxia IV".
He is a fairly successful and notorious warlord who has taken advantage of the chaos caused by Darkthrop's servants in Avernum and has managed to form a thriving colony of slaves, desperates and generally unfortunate people who ended up his realm because they had nowhere else to go.
Now, he resides in the colony which his servants built for him, settling near the seemingly cursed ruins of Erika's Tower and repelling anyone who would dare to put an end to his little kingdom of evil.
He serves as a major Antagonist in Chapter V.
== Overview ==
A megalomanical tyrant who has been searching for opportunities to seize a decent portion of land and have it all for himself. Fortunately for him, Darkthrop's invasion gave the perfect chance for bandits, outlaws and other miscreants to thrive and roam free, so it is no surprise that he took advantage of it as well.
Connor is a diabolic man. His heart is cold, almost as if made of stone. He has lulled many people into a false sense of security and made them his servants, enslaving them pretty thoroughly.
However, he knows that others might decide to rebel against him, so he has developed a new sort of chip- one which he implants into the minds of the weak and prevents them for having any free will, leaving them with no other options than to work for their master.
This tyrant is a strong one, but often relies on the moment of surprise and the opportunities that it provides. He is confident that the dark magic in Erika's Tower protects him from destruction, thinking that it is actually on his side.
But for how long?
== Death ==
=== Killed By ===
* Himself (Indirectly Caused)
Unbeknownst to Connor, the people of his settlement have always been angry at him. Since he always neglected their needs and instead aimed to find more people to aid him, they began to think that Connor was not worthy of being a leader.
In addition, Connor tends to murder (or imprison) those who try to disobey him, eventually leading toward a series of inevitable revolts. Thus, the reason for his downfall is, unsurprisingly, his cruel and sadistic attitude toward his own people.
* Adam Kaos (Caused, Alive)
* Darius Redmark (Caused, Alive)
After being defeated by Adam in a long, tiring battle, Connor is taken to the surface by his friend- the spirit whisperer known as Darius.
When the two of them arrive there, he is taken to the town square along with the rest of the traitors who tried to lead Adam into a trap and prepared to be crucified for his crimes, doomed to face the consequences of his own mistakes forevermore.
Wyatt attempts to prevent his leader from being publicly humiliated more than he already is, but is easily slain by Adam and the process continues, leaving him completely immobilized by the time Adam decides how to handle the situation.
* Unnamed Residents (Alive)
Just as Adam is about to do the gruesome work himself, a group of volunteers steps up and take his place on the podium of fate. They grab hammers and nails, welding him to the cross that represents the hope that was taken away by people like him, one of the residents even claiming that he lost his own child because of his actions that he once thought were completely righteous.
Connor is left to spend his last moments thinking about how wrong he was. And yet, he refuses to let go of his evil ways and even tries to badmouth Adam and Darius for making him end up like this. However, his efforts are in vain as one of the residents seals his mouth with duct tape and renders him unable to talk, He bleeds to death not long afterwards.
After a few minutes, Connor reanimates and tries to attack Adam, but the young hero welds his neck with two nails, rendering him nearly docile to the residents who would watch him in the future.
On Adam's command, Connor is left at the exact same spot. He always remains this way and is never put down by anyone.
