**Bio**

Conrad Brown was born and raised in Jamaica. Conrad is an Obeah Man with strong water magick. His mother, Alicia Brown, had him very young, so his grandmother, Patricia, was his primary maternal figure growing up. Patricia is a respected and well loved member of The Board, and raised Conrad to Follow in her footsteps. Because of his grandmother's close relationship with Mr. Abbey, he grows up with Meredith, and they refer to each other as 'brother' and 'sister' even though they are not technically related. Conrad is given the job of finding Raven, the Origin's Daughter, when her powers begin to manifest, and keep her out of the hands of the daemons. The Board is concerned that if she falls into the wrong hands, balance will be disrupted and the wolds will go to war.

Conrad finds Raven, and they become close friends. He does everything in his power to protect her from the daemons who hunt her down, however, in the end, it is his own kind who turn out to be the biggest threat. In the end, he goes with Raven across The Veil to help her while she serves out her life debt to Amon.

Conrad is easy going, makes himself at home almost anywhere, and is generally good natured. However, he can be ruthless when those he considers to be friends or family are threatened. He fights hard for what he believes is right, and never backs down from a challenge, though he would much prefer to avoid violence if necessary. He also has a strong moral compass and unshakeable moral fibre. He truly believes in The Board's mission to keep balance, and wants to do whatever it takes to make the world a better place for all.

Conrad earns an official and highly esteemed position on The Board for his services, and takes over as the official representative for Jamaica, in succession of Patricia.

## Conrad's Physical Description

Next to Dossidian, Conrad is the tallest member of the team, coming in at 6'3". Rycon call's him 'string bean' in the first book, due to his long and lanky stature. Conrad is a Jamaican Obeah man with braided hair, and his smile is often described as a 'lopsided grin.' He's usually dressed comfortably in long shorts and t-shirt or crisp shirt.

### Conrad's Aura

Conrad's aura resembles the energy of the island he hails from. When he is upset, the air around him rolls with the scent of salt water and Raven often claims she can hear the cry of gulls. When he is in a good mood, his aura feels sunny and balmy.

## Conrad Brown's Powers

Conrad's magick is deeply based in the element of water. He can perform more general magick as well, such as glamours and no-see-me spells. However, when he is battling to defend himself, it is often with his powerful command over water. Because Conrad is magick folk, he does not use large flashy displays of magick unless it is a life or death situation, as all magicks come at price for the magick folk. This is made especially evident in his battle with Marcus, the Fire Mage, when he must kill the trees and grass on Raven's street to take the water from them as a weapon. The death of the trees was the price that was paid in that respect. Sometimes the cost is much more grave and dire. We learn this at the end of the Origin's Daughter when Clair asks the maiden, the mother and the crone to unbind her.

### Positive's of Conrad's Powers:

* Conrad's magick is not nearly as affected by the power of The Flute as daemon magick is.
