## Personality

Like Max Storm from Blue Swan, Conrad was highly observant towards the player who is now a vampire and became attracted to her as part of his concealment. His true personality is revealed during his discussion with Nicolae, he was a very vengeful person, wanting to have vengeance against Viktor Bartholy, all while showing his dislike to Drogo when he saw him and the player getting along together. At the end of chapter 9 according to Cassandre Osborne, Conrad is less-powerful than Viktor but lets everyone be cautious of him despite him wanting an alliance with them against Viktor. Nicolae allows him to stay at the manor but only if he follows their "no killing" rule, which he agrees too.

In chapter 10 he watches the player give Sebastian Jones first aid from his window while shirtless after she saw that he was hurt while in his wolf form. After they had a stare off he shut the window and closed the curtains. While the player and Drogo were on their way to school he tells her that Conrad and Mia Cooper are nothing but trouble, and that he knows that she is charmed by Conrad .Meanwhile, Sarah Osborne wants to be hypnotized by Nicolae Bartholy to protect herself from Conrad as she is scared of him.

Later on while the player wanted to go see Drogo in the cottage she ran into Conrad and the two have an intense standoff and he calls Drogo names. He tries to tell the player that the attraction she feels towards him is natural but she refuses to believe it. He then decides to play a game with her and tells her that if she manages to touch him he will answer her questions about Viktor Bartholy. She agrees and manages to scratch him with a rock and Conrad tells her that Viktor has been meticulous and problematic but for the last 150 years ,he's been mad. The player realizes that Viktor went crazy after he transformed Lorie Bartholy due to her mental issues, because of master and prey exchange facets about them during the transformation. When she finally shows up to the cottage, Drogo smells Conrad's scent all over her and gets jealous before they make up.

In the final chapter of the story, it shows more of Conrad's antagonistic side within his illusion self; his bloodlust over witches (which is why the witches are turned into arcanes) and he states that the witches' blood are similar to sweet nectars, much to the player's fury. Conrad is also able to incapacitate Drogo to showcase his superhuman strength and reveals that Viktor is his godfather and mentor from his parents which are the first class of the Originals. He later befriended the Bartholy brothers after Cassandre had successfully imprisoned Viktor into the dimensional prison. In the bad ending, Conrad is knowledgeable about Cassandre's true motives as she betrays the Bartholys, including the player and her granddaughter Sarah where he reveals that Cassandre's true purpose is to imprison Viktor in her scepter to gain the supreme power she needs. Conrad can be compassionate at times when he comforted the player after learning that Drogo had went to find Cassandre after she gained Viktor's powers following his imprisonment. Conrad also revealed to the player in good end that he and Cassandre were actually working together and were responsible for all the weird events that were happening in mystery spell so she could train herself become stronger and stayed behind the scenes until he made his appearance in the Bartholy mansion but Cassandre ended up betraying him.

In the third and final season, Conrad serves as a mentor to the player whenever she comes to the Arcane to train more of her vampiric abilities and some magic usage with grimoires and artifacts.

In Viktor's story, Conrad's dislike for Viktor was toned down and can be standoffish at times when Loan arrogantly proclaims to become a vampire despite being werewolf who wanted to become a vampire-werewolf hybrid. He also let the player come with them to the Arcane since she wanted to meet Viktor in person. Conrad also shows his concern to both the player and Elena Gabe but soon changes his mind since they're already in the Arcane. In Chapter 3 onward, it is revealed that Conrad had kept this incident of what happened to Loan and his group of the Descendants of the Templars who were mercilessly killed by Viktor by decapitation until that unveils at the end of Chapter 4 when Elena using her astral projection from her vampiric powers and Viktor would even monitored all of the vampires including him when they finally made up their mind into turning against him. It was also demonstrated from the player's dream when he, Drogo and Nicolae had attempted to kill the player inside the restaurant owned by Viktor in their vampiric state but fails when Viktor defends the player from them.

In his main story, Conrad retains his feelings with Elena and displaying his romantic escapades with her. But became amnesiac due to Viktor's current hold of him using hypnosis and is somewhat antagonistic when he leads with the Councilors in tracking down Elena at Chinatown Manhattan, New York after Viktor had easily able to find her whereabouts by controlling her astral projection powers. Conrad also manages to have a equal fight with Chad Williams who is a powerful necromancer while trying to defend Elena from his group but they spare him when Elena decided to go with them. In the end of Chapter 3 and the events of Chapter 4, thanks to Chad's necromancy and black magic and Nao Arasaka's astral magic, Conrad regains all of his memories and his love to Elena and he knew that he was Elena's maker after all since Viktor had altered their memories. Conrad also became guilty when he and the rest of the Councilors had offered their blood to the weaken and poisoned Viktor as well as using the magic artifacts and grimoires to save him and seeing that Viktor was responsible for murdering the player by draining her blood completely and was poisoned from her blood which Cassandre had casted upon her. He finally decided to stop Viktor with the assistance from Nao, Chad and Haku Kobayashi. At the final chapter of the story, Conrad is able to kill other Councilors while being assisted with Chad but both became outmatched with Viktor's superhuman strength. Although, Elena is able to outsmart him long enough for Chad to trap Viktor from his purple crystal and they succeed. Following Viktor's imprisonment inside Chad's purple crystal, Conrad takes Viktor's place as the leader of the Arcane and to change the rules if Elena is on his side to handle that leadership which she accepts as well as allowing Chad to teach new necromancers in the Arcane on his current leadership.

However this changes at the non-canonical bad ending in Chad's story where Viktor quickly murders Elena during his sole infiltration at the Arcane in order to reclaimed his leadership back from Conrad. But their dangerous confrontation with him and Viktor comes to a halt where Nao uses his astral magic to rescue him and throws a crystal to make an explosion in order to escape. Despite their escape, Viktor still reclaims his leadership in the Arcane following the confrontation.

Nao answers her question and her ring is effective from isolating her into the paranormal world and she is not aware that the Order of the Arcane does not exist. Elena decided to remove the ring due to its irritation but Nao refused her to do so. Despite her plan to remove it, it still burns her skin only for Nao to strongly advice her not to remove her ring. Elena stops and decided to keep the ring to make her safe and Nao knew Viktor was not kidding around to find her. Elena decided to be patient and hoping that ring won't hurt her any longer. Nao decided to read the stars to figure it out where it is coming from. Back at the apartment, Elena decided to search the web about the Guild of the Immortals which has been blanked.

He decided to find a simple solution to restore the powers from the ring or any accessory she can have. Despite Elena decided to stay at her room to let out her frustration and upset, Nao came to see her and comforts her about the current incident. He tried to remember the time he met her in New York when he manages to knock her down in defensive mode due to her attempt in sucking his blood and because she was distressed and hungry for blood, he decided to take her in to his loft apartment. The room that Elena had stayed is originally from Huan who is now left for China and knowing she is a vampire, he decided to take out some animal blood from the butcher shop. Nao tries to cheer her up stating it is not her fault for all these troubles. Suddenly, Elena is forced to use her astral projection which was summoned by Conrad at the study room in the Arcane causing her to collapse.

Her astral projection form ended up in the Hall of Rituals and meeting with Conrad once again. Elena noticed they were alone and Conrad displays his romantic attraction to her. However, his romantic seduction to Elena turns out to be a trap to make her duped over his vampire charms and sensing Viktor and the rest of the Councilors are present. Because of this, Elena was angry at Conrad for duping her and decided to return her back to her physical body at New York but to no avail. She realizes that Nao was telling the truth that Conrad summons her to get trapped so that Viktor could see her.

It reveals that Nao had carried her back to his loft apartment while unconscious due to her activation of her astral projection. Elena finally tells Nao about where she was where she meets with Conrad at the Hall of Rituals until she sees Viktor's presence. Nao was angry over their actions especially for letting Elena deceived from Conrad's attraction due to Viktor's control of him. Elena angrily transforms into a vampire to show her frustrations and getting deceived by Conrad. Nao tries to calm Elena down and decided to find another way to help her out as well as her ring being fixed, leading her decision to follow Nao. At the alleyway, Nao speaks to one of the necromancers who speaks Latin and wants to speak to their grandmaster. Elena was nervous at first until the man appears on the steel door who is actually the grandmaster of necromancy, Chad Williams. Chad finally introduces to the player after he demonstrated his usage of his necromancy by glowing his purple crystal and was intrigued to see her as a vampire who needs his help. He likes to show the player his temple but she couldn't due to them are trying to disperse vampires. Nao finally decided to end the conversation when he tells Chad to fix Elena's ring. Chad had sensed that her ring is filled with horrible dark powers due to Cassandre's death at the hands of Viktor which he murders her after his survival from the blood poisoning caused by the player who died at his hands due to blood loss. Despite the troubles, Elena collapses again due to her activation of her astral projection powers, leading both Nao and Chad to carry her to his hidden temple. Conrad soon faces her by using his romantic attraction towards her and Elena noticed the broken compass he had used. Chad eventually manages to knock Conrad away with his necromancy powers and was confident to battle him as the Original vampire. Despite Chad's efforts to make Elena escape from her powers, Conrad manages to locate her on time during the ordeal at the Hall of Rituals. Elena awakens to see them both and was angrily frustrated because Conrad had managed to locate her and seeing their jokes are inappropriate. She transforms into a vampire to release her angry frustrations especially in how Conrad is sided with Viktor due to him being brainwashed after he is the one who teaches her and the player about vampire skills and abilities. She angrily kicks the can with a powerful force. Chad decided to make an alliance with Elena and Nao since he is confident to battle Conrad until Elena mentions about Viktor. He is also reveals that he is able to control the spirits from the dead to inform Cassandre's spirit, only Nao to tell him it will never worked when he tried it using his astromancy powers. In wanted to battle Viktor since Conrad is on his way to New York, he decided to let them stay at his temple to get prepared. Before she goes to Chad, Nao grabs her hand, telling her that he decided to get home to rest and sleep. Although, Elena was very concerned because she was hunted by Conrad and Viktor. Nao had many ideas to make her hide elsewhere once her protective ring was fixed and he has many connections all over the globe who were astromancers like him. Elena had given up running away because of Viktor but Nao tells her not to and he won't leave her behind. Elena thanked Nao for his advice before waving her goodbye to return back to his loft apartment.

Inside the hidden temple, Elena was surprised to see the interior of their temple which is more beautiful than being messy. Chad then let Elena to join to their rituals but also scolds some of his disciples due to their greedy interest in her. They soon channeling their energy by chanting different language and Chad's tattoos are glowing when he executes his necromancy magic. Elena was dismayed when she felt the spirits are inside of her as Chad tells her that they are dead spirits who were passing through her. He soon sensed that a shadow just killed one spirit as he stopped using it. Elena was alarmed after hearing from Chad about the shadow, she decided to disperse with his magic and Chad agrees. Chad uses the purple crystal to glow brightly to send more power to eliminate the shadow within Elena. It was revealed that Viktor had altered both Conrad and Elena's memories and the vampire bite are from Conrad's and not from Viktor's during the bloody ceremony (paralleling the incident in the beginning of Viktor's route) as well as her training and her romantic relationship with Conrad. It was stopped when she transforms into a vampire due to her annoyance of many spirits are inhabiting inside of her. Chad tells her to take it easy while remarking if he wishes to become a vampire like her. He soon tells her that it is not over yet after this while he pointed out it was the protective ring was next to be fixed, making Elena reluctantly decided to do it. The next day and sun rises, Elena gets out of the temple and Chad became concerned over her presence. Chad knew that her ring is fixed and like Nao, he tells her to leave the country and hide elsewhere. Chad also suggests to make a powerful alliance since they are lacking to battle against Viktor if Conrad was on their side, leading Elena to make a decision rather she leaves the country or not. She later visits Nao at his tea shop who became very concerned over her presence. Nao tells her to pack her stuff and leave knowing he doesn't want to be victimized by both Conrad and Viktor. As Nao gets out of his shop to let Elena leave, he receives a call from one of Chad's disciples and learning that Conrad and his group of Councilors are infiltrating their territory before it was cut due to him getting decapitated. Seeing Elena wanted to face Conrad because of the bloodshed had caused and does not want to meet the same fate as the player. Nao chants to release a green crystal that resembles an apple and reluctantly gives it to Elena for protection. Elena gave Nao a friendly hug as a token to thanks and Nao tells her to leave. Instead of leaving, Elena visits Chad's hidden temple at the alleyway. Knowing it is not a good sign because Conrad and his group of Councilors had wiped out all of Chad's disciples. As she enters the temple, she saw them both facing each other and Conrad noticed Chad had drained most of his energy for overusing his necromancy magic to battle him, leading him to knock him in defeat and also noticed it was just Conrad and his group and Viktor was not present. Because of the bloodshed caused by them, Elena steps in and volunteers to be captured by Conrad, much to Chad's disappointment and shock. She offers Conrad in return once they return to Mystery Spell which he accepts. Despite Elena's wrong decision to be volunteered to be captured by Conrad, Chad's life was spared making him the sole survivor behind Conrad's infiltration with the Councilors. At the private jet, Elena tries to reason with Conrad because of their connection but Conrad still thinks of her being Viktor's maker, noticing of his brainwashing caused by Viktor's hypnosis. Elena tries to reconnect her current relationship with Conrad by kissing, leading Conrad to make out with her wildly in his vampiric state and was happy for him to do so. Therefore, his brainwashing still remains. Elena continues to reasoning with him but to no avail as Conrad does not listen thinking that Elena would casts a spell on him using necromancy. Before Elena would try to make Conrad remember his actions last year, it was interrupted by one of the Councilors, informing him that they are making a final descent into going to the terminal of Mystery Spell. Elena also noticed the green crystal given to her by Nao was glowing due to him using his astral magic, she tries to make a fake smile to Conrad as if nothing happened. Once the private jet lands on the tarmac and to Conrad's enjoyment into bringing Elena to Viktor, the green crystal eventually glows and her hands are burned to make her drop the crystal to the ground which causes a explosion to destroy of the jet where Conrad's group were inside and becomes pitched black and Elena was unaware that she immediately teleported elsewhere due to the powers of the green crystal which has caused by an astral magic.

In Chapter 3, Elena was revealed to be teleported due to the crystal's activation within its astral magic and Conrad and his group of Councilors had survived the explosion and they did their best to recapture her but to no avail. Elena ended up at Haku's apartment who became sick due to the effects of teleportation and trying to inspect around the surroundings due to the interior of his apartment is an Asian or a Japanese motif. Suddenly, Haku arrives at home and encounters Elena who soon became hostile upon seeing her presence. Despite introducing each other when he learns that she is Nao's friend and being gone after by Viktor. Haku angrily reprimands Elena to get out of his apartment after he gave her the animal blood comes from the raw meat he had bought at the groceries for her to eat which she refused to leave until it changes where he was contacted by Nao. During their introduction, Haku is revealed to be Nao's cousin and they mostly argue due to their family dispute between the Kobayashis and the Arasakas. Haku had no choice but to let Elena stay here for protection and also reveals that the green crystal is very rare and precious as part of their respective family heirloom. Since Nao had sacrificed his crystal to save Elena from getting captured, he loses it and became angry to his cousin for his recklessness. Therefore, Samantha arrives and Elena recognizes her for going to Sarah at the Mystery Books Bookstore to get magical artifacts to get through the Arcane. However, Samantha didn't remember her presence at all and becoming disgusted over other supernaturals as Elena stated it is going to be a great start to eat dinner with them. During dinner, this reveals Samantha's decision of leaving Mystery Spell due to her memories with Loan and for visiting him on his grave at the cemetery until she reveals about the Bartholy brothers who were killed in a terrible car accident which was instigated by Viktor and their graves are next to Loan's. Realizing that running is never an option, Elena decided to stop Viktor for terrorizing everyone from Mystery Spell. As soon as Haku decided to buy her a train ticket, she refused, leading him to call Nao. That night while Haku is talking to Nao with their respective cellphones, both Elena and Samantha are talking about in how to deal with Viktor and also reminded about the player who is her vampire sister just did to Viktor by being casted from Cassandre's magic to make her blood became poisonous. Samantha decided to leave and Elena accepts her decision. As Samantha leaves, Haku informs her that Nao is coming to Mystery Spell along with a friend which happens to be Chad and decided to get back to his bedroom to use his computer. Despite Haku's frowning over the green crystal, Elena makes vampire jokes to enlighten him up before going back to his room. Elena then thinks in how to deal with Viktor by having an alliance as well as her love for Conrad. The next day, both Nao and Chad had arrived to fetch Elena back to New York. Nao gives Elena a friendly hug while she also gives Chad a friendly hug as well. Nao tells her to go with them in New York while remain hiding all around the world. Instead of running away or hiding elsewhere, she decided to battle Viktor by making an alliance and to trap Conrad just to free him from his brainwashing since his memories were altered by Viktor. Despite Nao's protests stating that it was way too risky, Chad agrees with Elena's plan but it will take some time to mix all of Conrad's memories just to fry up his brain with his necromancy magic. Nao remains frowning over their discussions of making an unlikely alliance and his dislike to Conrad due to him as an enemy and Chad nudges him that he needs him, causing his decision to go with them. Haku gives Chad a thin laced bracelet and he puts on his wrist for good luck and Nao noticed it was the bracelet owned by his late sister Nana Kobayashi and he had been searching this bracelet for a very long time as Haku was the one who kept it. Elena, Nao and Chad are getting ready to converge their alliance and to trap Conrad into siding with them.

In the middle of the night at the lake within the Mystery Spell forest, Nao, Chad and Elena discuss in how to lure Conrad into their trap in which Chad is using his necromancy magic and Nao decided to assist Chad by giving boost with his astral magic so that Conrad might able to be free from the brainwashing within Viktor's hypnosis. As both Nao and Chad are hiding on the trees, Elena goes to the lake while she noticed Chad had started to use his necromancy powers to unleash the spirits from his purple crystal. She remembers about how both her and Conrad are meeting each other in secret and blaming Viktor for not enjoying themselves last year. She finally used her astral projection to project herself at the hidden tunnels of the Arcane. She soon meets Conrad on the way who is shocked and became angry for her escape. Elena tells Conrad to meet her at the lake, alone which he reluctantly accepts. Back into her body, She was anxious to meet Conrad until he arrives in time due to his vampire speed and to her failure that he is not alone as one of the Councilors are with him, much to her fear. Conrad did his best to recapture her once again as Elena lures them into the lake while provoking that she will get through her if he gets near her, while trying to get reason with him. As soon as the necromancy magic has finally been activated, Conrad was trapped along with his Councilor and sensing it was magic. Both Nao and Chad arrive from their hiding and Conrad was furious to see him again while turning into his vampiric state. Chad noticed it was the same shadow that frees Elena from the inside but it was larger causing him to use more of his magic along with Nao's to disperse inside of Conrad and with the help of Nana's bracelet which was glowed in a white light and afterwards, Conrad was collapsed and weaken while Chad succeeds in freeing him from Viktor's hold at the cost of his energy as Nao immediately takes him away to rest. Conrad slowly wakes up and Elena was with him. While trying to convince with Elena, Conrad immediately leaves with his vampire speed. As Nao and Chad arrived again after taking a brief rest, Elena was saddened if Conrad was cured or getting freed which Chad tells her that he is already been freed and now he's trying to rethink of himself first, letting Elena to leave him alone for a little bit. While getting annoyed from her hiding in a year, Nao also said the same way as Chad that Conrad needs to be alone for a time and Elena decided to find him. Despite her protest due to her concerns towards Conrad, both Nao and Chad convinces her to do it. Using her astral projection, she sensed his presence was at the forest. Chad tells her to meet them at the lake while Nao tells her to be careful on Conrad if he attempts to attack her, she has to get back with them. While searching for Conrad, Elena recalls in how she met Conrad here in secret despite breaking the Arcane rules. Sensing his presence, she uses her vampire sight and hearing to find him but Conrad manages to pounce her. Elena tries to reason with him again while Conrad continues to blame her for manipulate him with magic. Elena admits for using him with magic but instead she touches his heart, which surprises him. Because of their closeness with one another while Elena is trying to recall his memories last year, Conrad eventually kisses her, finally remembering their current relationship and his real memories. Their romantic sessions goes wild when Conrad shows in his vampiric state and to Elena's begging to continue which he accepts. Suddenly, he back away from her and his head begins to hurt in pain. Elena tells him to get rest. It was revealed that Conrad was contacted by Viktor using his telepathy and decided to leave. Elena tries to convince him to go with her but Conrad refused stating that he is a Councilor and he has no match for Viktor and soon leaves with his vampire speed. Elena became saddened after he left her behind in the forest.

The bad ending takes place when Viktor easily learns of Conrad and his new alliance's plot of infiltrating his main base at the Arcane as he led with the other Councilors to foil in their plans at the Mystery Spell Forest due to Elena's astral projection being used to find them at the Arcane. Haku remains cautious and concern about the mission which led Conrad, Chad and Nao became dismayed over Elena's decision to use her astral projection to find Viktor at the Arcane. They come to accept her decision by going to the lake to use that power with Nao's assistance to use his astral magic. Elena then investigates all around the Arcane to find Viktor and his Councilors, believing that they are performing the healing ritual at the hidden chamber within the secret basement. She looked all around the place to find Viktor but he wasn't there even she tried to call Nao and Conrad but to no avail. Once she returns to her body, she found herself at the forest and was caught off by one of the Councilors. She noticed that both Conrad and Chad are fighting them off. She was confronted by Viktor and realizing her exact timing of using her astral projection which he easily sensed her powers leading him to infiltrate them. He attempted to steal it from her for his own dominance and his plans for world domination. It is also revealed that one of the Councilors had murdered Haku first and why Conrad, Chad and Nao had grabbed her immediately to escape before fighting them off. Elena manages to hurt Viktor by headbutting on his jaw to escape from his grasp to find both Nao and Chad. Chad manages to disperse two Councilors with his necromancy magic to rescue Nao and Conrad at the cost of his energy before collapsing from exhaustion while Conrad remains to battle Viktor. Since destroying the three Councilors on their disposal, Viktor eventually kills both Nao and Chad by slashing their necks with his superhuman strength, killing them both. Viktor angrily berates them for what they have done, trying so hard to recruit most of the vampires to become a Councilor. He now attempts to steal Elena's vampiric powers. Conrad attempts to rescue his beloved but the last Councilor blocked his way, allowing Viktor to steal Elena's vampiric powers by biting her neck which he succeeds in stealing her powers as it blacked out.

Elena slowly wakes up and realizing that Viktor had succeeded in getting her vampiric powers which is her astral projection and not realizing she ended up at the basement of the Bartholy Manor and believing she was still at the hidden chamber at the Arcane. It is revealed that Viktor had used an artifact or a grimoire to drain most of Elena's energy and she can barely move to find Conrad and was encountered by Lorie who is disappointed over Nicolae, Peter and Drogo's loss not knowing her stepfather Viktor was behind the car accident that struck them dead. She soon encounters Conrad who is now lifeless and tries to wake him up. Viktor appears and to reveal to her that Conrad is alive due to being paralyzed and being a empty shell of his former self while being much more relaxed due to his success and wanted to have a world domination against the humans. He also taunts Elena of how he murdered his former beloved from his route which Elena calls him a heartless monster. She noticed that Viktor shows a tomb which he believes it was a magical tomb as he puts Conrad in it. Elena was angry for what he has done only for Viktor to give her a last taunt that he had been succeeded in stealing her powers and it was one of his favorites that he could ever used for his world domination after she tried to use her astral projection powers but to no avail and it was the last time to see her since she and Conrad had been betraying him once he put the candles on the tomb. Viktor eventually put Elena at the tomb with Conrad and closed it down permanently, never to see them again. Inside the tomb, Elena laments over their recent failures in stopping Viktor and now he's going to have world conquest with the humans living there. With the use of her remaining energy left due to being drained, Elena kisses Conrad's lifeless body while crying remorsefully and he is the only maker who had changed their lives for the better and afterwards both are slowly dying inside the tomb.

## Season 1 (Chad's Route)

He and Elena had appeared during the official trailer and release of Chad's route. Conrad's alliance with Elena, Nao, Haku and Chad were mentioned in Chapter 3 in which both of them explains to the player of how they had infiltrated in the Arcane and Chad is able to trap Viktor from his purple crystal using his necromancy magic while being boosted on Nao's astral magic.
