Konrad's Biography (Spoilers)
#1 of Biographies
This is the biography for Konrad. While most of the major events are included, there are a few that are hidden. This post contains a lot of spoilers to other stories, but the hidden parts are all major spoilers that might ruin the story. These will be revealed when I release a story that covers these events.
(The names of characters are introduced in the official Paranelli record-keeping format; Family name first, given names second. For the most part, characters names will go back to the more common format of names (Given names first, family name second) unless the character prefers to use the official format. Any married couples will use their original family name (A.K.A. Maiden name) in official records, though they will typically use their new family name during normal use.)
"Do not linger, waiting for that which does not come. Time will move on, with or without you. You have to either catch up, or be left in the dust. Sometimes this means that you will have to leave your world behind. This is the burden of the time traveler. As you graduate this academy, you will move on to your apprenticeship period, as all do. Learn to recognize that which is worth saving, even if it means getting left behind. But also learn what is best left in the dust, even if it means the world to you. This academy can only teach you so much. It can prepare you for what is to come, but it cannot train you. Remember these days, as they will be some of your most treasured." -Konrad, Academy Graduation Ceremony, Year 85L161-91B-6484 [8]
Haddock, Novacone Amellius (formally known as Konrad) has a sparky personality. Helastar compares it to a cross between Haddock, Hiccup Horrendous III and Hofferson, Astrid Omellius 9, and he very much is in some ways. He has Astrid's spunk and spark of life, but he also has Hiccup's passion and benevolence. He is exceptionally kind, and will go out of his way to help others (assuming he can do so without repercussions). He is an exceptional time agent, later hailed as the best there ever was (though he will fervently deny this if you say that to him). But he hates exceptionally strict rules, and occasionally goes out of his way just to break them (though this doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to). He hates facts that are set in stone, and this perseverance has actually changed some of the definitions of time points. If he can get away with it, he will cheat (though he classifies it more as bending of the rules; he hates people who disregard the rules entirely solely for their benefit). But he also knows his limits. He knows that some people are best not messed with. And if you are caught bending the rules, the punishments can be... severe. He is by no means perfect, and he openly admits this. He is a terrible diplomat, relatively speaking (while there are some forms of diplomacy that he does amazing at, he does an overall terrible job). His temper can be short at times if he is personally provoked. But he is also cares about what other's think about him. He much prefers more peaceful forms of war compared to those that actually shed blood. He knows how to manipulate people to leave their cause and join his ranks, but this takes time to manage. But despite all these flaws, he is one off the most revered people in the history of the Paranelli.
Konrad was born on November 17th, 81916-10A-1027. He was conceived during a class 97 temporal anomaly, giving him an exceptionally high quantum fluidity rating [10]. At the age of 8, he was diagnosed with Menovett's Syndrome [11]. While he has every characteristic of a Caretaker [12], he is not officially classified as one due to the fact that Menovett's Syndrome prevents Antigen-A3249 from being produced. At the age of 12, he fell off a cliff and "died" (at least, according to the records of that universe). Since his death was a fixed point, the Paranelli did a swap of him with biological duplicate (which is just a shell; it does not contain any conscious and is typically lifeless) right before he hit the ground, making it appear that he died right then and there, but still fulfilling the requirements of a fixed point in time.
He was adopted by Stanivon Selto and Melvanel Levisal. While he is closer to his adopted parents than to his biological parents, he refuses to take the Stanivon family name (or any family name, though Ketronel was about to convince him to take her's). Stelo and Levisal were great teachers to Konrad. Not only did they have significant experience with raising Caretakers, they also had the proper security clearances. Both Stelo and Levisal are Dragons, and they both have fairly neutral gender identities. After being raised by his adopted parents, he attended the Academy. He actually did fairly poorly in the academy, but his apprenticeship period was exceptional in learning. Due to the fact that he has Menovett's syndrome, he struggled at the academy for a while. But then a group of engineers and neuroscientists came together and developed the BSPS; the Biological Shell Projection System [13]. This allowed Konrad to become a more normal student, though he still did poorly overall in the Academy.
During his apprenticeship period, the Dragon Wars broke out. This is where he first met Helastar, though neither of them realized that this was where they first met. They would later meet for the "first" time many years later in the Tarmani Pub in Solonel Prefecture. Helastar had just started her career as a SDC, and the BSPS had become quite widespread for Time Agents and SDCs alike. They talked for a while and eventually became good friends. Due to the fact that Helastar exceptionally drunk, he helped her back to her home. After a couple of days, she contacted him and asked him if he wanted to meet her friend. She could already tell that Konrad and Ketronel would get along extremely well, but she had not quite learned discrepancy as an SDC. Konrad was a little shocked by her suggestion, but he agreed after thinking it over a bit. Konrad and Ketronel's first encounter was a little awkward, but they grew more and more comfortable in latter visits. As they were both time travelers, the time they could spend together on Vetraheil was kind of hit or miss. But they soon learned each other's schedules and planned as much as they could around each other. After many years of seeing each other, they decided to make the decision to get married.
[This part is hidden as it contains major spoilers. In short, Ketronel is killed and it hits Konrad extremely hard. The details of this will be revealed in a later story.]
After Ketronel's death, Helastar supports Konrad in his recuperation. After a while, they see each other, but things never get too serious. They remained good friends, sometimes having close encounters with each other. But Konrad decided after much thought and counseling from Helastar that he would never be in a serious relationship like that again, as it was too much of a liability for him.
However, war came once more and his services were needed again. Due to the nature of the war, he was assigned to eliminate a potential threat in his home universe (the universe he originally came from, more or less). However, he had no knowledge of this and proceeded with his objective. After he was finished, he was about to go back to the Turner when he felt something he never felt before. He paused for a moment, but didn't linger on the feeling. He had to get to the Turner to command this battle.
After several years, the battle continued to rage on. But in the middle of a major conflict, an emergency alert comes up. Somehow, the threat he had dealt with popped up again, and it was turning the war against them. Konrad made the decision to go fix it, as he was the only one who had the ability at the time. This is the "first" time he met his biological parents, however neither of them knew this. As he was about to leave for the war, he felt the same feeling once again, but this time he understood what it was.
It was the feeling of home.
[This part is hidden as it contains major spoilers. In short, Konrad gets stranded in his home universe. During that time, two major events happen: Konrad eventually figures out that Hiccup and Astrid are his parents, and Ketronel Base is built. Konrad decided to name it after Ketronel to honor her passion and love of Dragons (among other reasons).]
After the events in his Home universe, Konrad decides to go "roaming" as the Organisation calls it (similar to what the Doctor does; he goes wherever chance happens to take him, but still responded to any calls from dispatch).
After "roaming" for virtually the rest of his career, Konrad eventually decides to retire. He spends the last of his days at Ketronel Base. While he still had use of the BSPS, he co-commanded the base. But after he was removed from the system, he spent most of his time exploring the local area by air. It is at this point that he finally discovers that Helastar is a Dragon, and that he helped hatch her.
[This final part is hidden as it contains major spoilers. In short, it discusses his death and what happens afterward.]
(I was banging on my keyboard to get this out on the deadline, so sorry if it is a bit short. However, all the hidden parts have major backstories. They were not just hidden because I did not want to write them. These will change the way you look at Konrad, so they have been hidden for now.)
