Very little is known about Conrad’s early life. At some point he joined up with the Norsefire government and rose to be the leader of The Eye, probably due in large part to the intervention of his ambitious wife, Helen Heyer.

Growing increasingly dissatisfied with her and his lot in life, Conrad is pushed over the edge by V sending him a video of Helen and Alistair Harper having sex. He beats Harper to death with a wrench, but not before Harper manages to partially cut Conrad’s throat with a razor. Found dying by his wife, in disgust she sets up a video camera and television so that he can watch himself bleed out and die.
