Conrad was not a Blood Bowl player in his previous life. Instead he was a brutal and vindictive leader who lead a small band of bandits across the Old World in order to pillage and loot any unfortunate villages they could find. If the opportunity arose they would also hire themselves out for mercenaries to assist anyone who was willing to pay a high enough price.

He was called by many names, amongst them "The Iron Knight", The Butcher, or as his present name shows, the Merciless. How he met his death he cannot remember. Conrad however has found a new calling in his life. His old love of pillaging had left his old body many years ago along with his previous life. But now...with immortality, he could do anything.

Encouraged to join Ulric Blooddrinker, Conrad went with him and the rest of the Undead to form the Swartzhafen Nightmares. Now he can be seen spending countless hours training to perfect his running, blocking and the art of murder for his time on the field of Blood Bowl. Alongside Ulric he is a fearsome sight, a broad Skeleton fitted in some of the finest armour of antiquity. He and Conrad are always seen trying to break open gaps in the enemy line and it is a rare thing to see Conrad to go down to the enemy. Despite the vast riches he had found in life during his time as a mercenary and bandit, he always yearned for something more. Now in death, Conrad has finally found his place in the world, or as he calls it, his passion: Blood Bowl!
