Conrad is dead. I am a bit disappointed in that I did not get even close to the goals I had set up for him.
The journey, however, was fun, and I from what I could tell, his little villainies did cause a bit of a ruckus in Mistlocke. I hope the rest of you had an interesting time playing against him.
Conrad interacted with and attempted to join, coopt, and subvert a large number of the shady presences and factions active during his tenure on Ymph, but was eventually undone by an old foe: the Caermyn snakes!
Here follows some screenshots from his career. I have more, but they're too spoilerish.
Special thanks to LiAlH4, team Aberdenn, Chrijone (for being first an ally and then an enemy), and the vast number of unknowing bystanders.
Upon arriving on Ymph, Conrad immediately deduced Mistlocke would not be a friendly environment to one of his faith and thus strove to get more powerful allies.

This led to him coming along to crush quests with Team Comital at a few occassions, though not often enough.

Unfortunately, they all died off before it turned into something fruitful. Conrad, having infiltrated Aberdenn on Vednyev's orders, was welcomed with suspicion from the very beginning. Here he is being recruited.

And here, being suspected of being a Caermyn spy, after Abigail discovered someone had been making double copies of the files and sending them off to somewhere (hint: He wore red.).

Since Aberdenn didn't prove a good ground for recruitment, Conrad turned his attention to other factions.

He kept the Aberdenning up, however, and enjoyed the company. Here are some random screenshots from Aberdenn (one with a particularly disturbing dialogue in Tells, indicating darker deeds in the Muster).

Ez'kus, however, managed to get himself killed by the Snakes (at least, so did Conrad think), and so he started hibernating again, only rarely coming out. Then the Duergar showed up.

From there on, however, screenies become spoilerish. I can, however, reveal his ultimately very villainous ending:

Will see you with whatever is next! Thanks to Derf for one of the more interesting endings I've had. It was an interesting run! :)
He was great, he will be missed. Looking forward to your next!
Good PC, sorry I only really saw him going!
Wow! Nicely done!
Pretty epic man, Had no idea he was the same conrad symblack rolled with during the rubies! You survived allot, and kept yourself well hidden!
I had great fun knowing he was around. Galen cheerfully interacted with him a couple of times not knowing that he was the same cleric who had also helped the duergar rob him and cut off Tiberius' leg. Darn it, it would be so much easier identifying villains if they had their names floating above their heads in easily read blue or red text :)
Good luck with the next one!
A pleasure working with him, I'm just sorry I couldn't have been around more in these past few days. :)
