Conrad was the son of a farmer. Severe famine struck his homeland the year of his birth, forcing his parents to turn their children - he had two older sisters – over to the church for care. He never met his parents - they died the winter after giving up their offspring.
The only life Conrad knew was that of the monastery in which he was raised. His life was a simple one; he was being groomed to become a monk. He spent his youth studying the teachings of Iomedae and training his body for physical perfection.
In his 17th year, he and the others who were coming of age, were sent out to spread the message of The Inheritor and, hopefully, find employment in some form or fashion - ideally as a soldier, bodyguard or teacher. They arrived in Korvosa, completely in awe of the size of the city and the numerous sights and sounds. Unable to resist the temptations available to him, Conrad began indulging in a life of drinking, gambling and general debauchery. His companions abandoned him to his new life and reported back to the monastery that Conrad had abandoned the faith. He received a letter of excommunication not long after.
Looking for direction, he began to adopt the "teachings" of Cayden Cailean, finding both freedom and a cause to which he could devote himself.
He left Korvosa in search of adventure, the finest wines and exotic women. Over the course of his travels, he came into the employ of a powerful, wizened wizard. The wizard had a Voidworm familiar that he disguised as a cat. The familiar took a liking to Conrad, often speaking to him in his sleep. The combination of rebelling against the strict teachings of Iomedae and the familiar's influence resulted in an obsession for inciting chaos whenever and wherever possible.
Eventually, he ended up in [WHATEVER CITY THE AP TAKES PLACE] and began serving as the bartender at [A LOCAL INN]. He has been here for 5 years now and is itching to return to his life of adventuring.
