Conrad is one of the five main protagonists of The Dark Pictures - Man of Medan. He was voiced by Shawn Ashmore, who also provided his likeness.
Biography[]
On June 20, 2019, Conrad, his sister Julia, friends Alex and Brad, along with their skipper, Fliss, headed out to sea in search of a WWII plane. While Julia and Alex are diving in the plane, Conrad taunts the pirates, whom they meet, inadvertently setting off the events of the game. While kidnapped by the pirates, Conrad can escape in their speedboat to get help, therefore omitting him from being playable for the remainder of the game. If he does not escape, he is stuck with the group.
While on the SS Ourang Medan, he gets seperated from the others and walks by himself through the ship, encountering a Sailor Girl hallucination due to the chemical leak of Manchurian Gold. He then later meets up with Fliss and Brad and later, Alex and Julia. Together, they plot to escape using the radio in the weather deck, but are unable to call for help what with the power going out. However, Conrad can be given the option to go down to the generator room or stay behind in the radio room. If Conrad hears gunshots, he could possibly go after the other characters to help and instead, encounter Olson, whom he fights for the distributor cap. If Conrad survives the fight, and Olson dies as well as the distributor cap was saved, he meets up with the other protagonists and escapes the freighter, via the Duke of Milan.
If the distributor cap is broken, and the military was not summoned, he will be stranded on the ship and choose to stay with Julia and Alex while Brad and Fliss, and Junior as well if you saved him from shooting himself, will choose to get on the Duke of Milan and hope to get help. Inside the ship, Conrad is presumably killed when his hallucinations scare him, suggesting that he was scared to death.
Personality[]
Conrad is described as foolhardy and relaxed.
He is shown to like girls, such as hitting on Fliss and drinking beer. Conrad is also very protective of Julia. During the game, Conrad is frightened by the Sailor Girl but can choose to face his fears of his hallucinations.
Trivia[]
- Conrad is the only main character who can die without boarding the SS Ourang Medan, such as when he tries to escape on Olson's motor boat and if a QTE is failed, he will be shot and die, making him the earliest character to be killed off.
- If he escapes, he will call the Coast Guard and rescue the group if they are stranded on the freighter.
