Lieutenant Conrad
SupportingHis red hair stands out like a flare in the ashen gloom, framing a face worn by endless patrols. There's a quiet competence in his stance, the kind that speaks of scouts who see too much and say little. You sense the weight of vigilance in his every glance.
Lieutenant Conrad debuts in The Hero of Ages as a red-haired scout serving in Elend Venture’s army outside Luthadel. His brief appearance underscores the human toll of the Final Empire’s collapse, showing a weary frontline soldier amid ash-stained leathers and mounting threats. Across the series he remains a minor but emblematic figure, representing the endurance of ordinary troops during the cataclysmic final days of Scadrial.
Physical Description
In his 30s with an athletic, muscular build honed by scouting, his bright red hair contrasts sharply against ash-darkened skin and wearied features. Sharp jawline and alert eyes mark a face toughened by exposure, clad in practical leathers and ash-stained clothing bearing scout insignias. He carries himself with fatigued readiness, pack slung over broad shoulders.
