== Biography ==
Connor was born when Darla staked herself to allow him to survive. Angel struggled to look after his baby but his friends all gathered round to help him look after the child. Connor was prophesized to kill the demon lord Sahjhan who brought Holtz back from the past to prevent this.
As a result Wesley was manipulated into stealing Connor which led to Holtz kidnapped him into a hell dimension where Connor was raised to despise his father.
Connor returned an sixteen year old and tried to kill his father despite Angel's attempts to reason with him. Connor and Angel almost reconciled but this was thwarted when Holtz killed himself to frame Angel. Most of Angel's friends took a negative view of Connor for his actions against his father and discrimination against Lorne for being a demon but Connor gained respect for his surrogate mom Cordelia Chase due to her kindness to him.
Connor sunk his father to the bottom of the ocean and lied to his team about it, trying to keep them from learning the truth, even murdering someone who had witnessed what he'd done. When Connor's betrayal was revealed Gunn and Fred who had previously started to like him were disgusted and abandoned any affection they felt.
Connor later bonded with an amnesiac Cordelia, being kind to her and attempting to keep her safe. They ultimately began sleeping together which further damaged Connor's relationship with his father as he was in love with Cordelia.
Connor was manipulated into sacrificing a girl by Cordelia who was actually a god named Jasmine, to ensure the birth of their herself. Jasmine made everyone happy but at the cost of free will which caused Angel to intervene and stop her. She then tried to destroy the world but Connor killed her.
Connor took a comatose Cordelia along with other innocents hostage, planning to kill both them and himself, resulting in Angel joining the corrupt law Firm Wolfram and Hart in order to recover Cordelia from her coma, give Connor a new life and family without any memory of his past crimes or trauma.
Connor's new family came to Angel to discover why Connor faced no injuries after being hit by a van and were told Connor had superpowers after he saved his family from demons. It turned out that this was orchestrated by Cyrus Vali who wanted Connor to kill Sahjhan which he did. Thanks to Wesley Connor's memories were restored but he hinted to Angel that he knew about his real history and that he appreciated all he'd done for him.
Before Angel's final confrontation before The Circle of The Black Thorn he met with Connor for coffee and Connor made it clear he knew the truth. He later saved his father from Marcus Hamilton but was sent away by Angel who wanted to keep his son safe.
