His human eyes are dark chocolate brown. They show maturity and intensity when he's talking to someone. His eyes crinkle when he smiles which is often.

While he finds his ability to recognize other people's feelings positive, Conrad's sensitive nature does cause trouble to him internally and with his relationships. People having problems with him have always been a source of insecurity for the mutant. Rejection from his mutation is a sore subject for Conrad and if he was to be rejected for his other appearance, he goes into a depressed, self-depreciating state. Conrad isn't an angry person, but he feels comfort when fighting during his states. He tries to hide it, not wanting to ruin other people's mood with his insecurities. Conrad is pretty obvious, but he tries. Balancing his sensitivity with his open mindedness is a recipe for disaster for him. He likes to hear other people's point of view, but if the discussion turns personal then he is easily affected. A conflict involving himself is enough to cause another episode.
Communication is Conrad's favorite way to interact with others. The young man can constantly be found talking to a teammate or on the phone with his parents. He's been told his voice is soothing which makes him talk more. His voice draws people to him more than any of his other traits. He's not particularly loud and he tends to keep talking until he's shut down. Conrad tends to go on about the most basic subjects and can turn a simple ice breaker question into a deep discussion. He especially loves in depth conversation with any one. He doesn't mind have personal conversations with strangers or acquaintances. Conrad loves talking.
Conrad loves that he cares about people and tries to take care of them, but it's a negative quality for the young hero. He blames his need to be accepted for being so 'motherly' to new recruits. He despises other people not being happy and will work to bring a smile or something positive to a team members' face. Conrad's willingness to help other people causes him to not take care of his own needs. He'll work to make breakfast for the team and won't eat until everyone else has, leaving nothing for himself. He doesn't mind, but fainting due to not eating causes more problems. He considers his problems miniscule compared to other peoples'. What makes his insecurities more important than others?

When Conrad was born, he didn't appear like his father at first. He lacked the blue skin and yellow eyes of his mutant father. Kurt was very happy to see that while his mother was disappointed since she loved Kurt's appearance. Conrad grew up in a very spiritual household. Both of his parents are devout Catholics so faith continues to be large part of his life. Conrad's life among the circus was very pleasant for the young boy. He, too, loved acrobatics, training with his mother and father when he came to visit. His father also taught him combat, fearing one of his enemies would try to hurt Conrad. The young boy lived a charmed life.
However, shielding his family didn't last forever. An enemy did try to hurt Nightcrawler's family. When Conrad was eight, his mother and him were attacked. His first mark was Conrad, but was shocked still when the boy turned blue upon the knife to his back. Conrad disappeared only to appear behind the assailant's back, putting him in a chokehold. The fight continued, ending when Conrad's tail chocked the man into unconsciousness. Nightcrawler appeared finding the attacker unconscious, Sapphira terrified yet unharmed, and Conrad with a bad knife wound on his back. After comforting his family and arresting the assassin, Kurt convinced them to move to New York. They would live near the X-men Mansion where they could be watched and protected. Thanks to Nightcrawler's friend's connection to the United States government acquiring a green card wasn't difficult. After moving, Conrad asked when his parents were going to get married. The two adults didn't know how to answer him at the time. Consequently, the two did end up marrying. Conrad didn't think life could get better.
His parents did end up disagreeing over one thing: Conrad's schooling. His mother wanted him attend a normal middle school while Kurt wanted him at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, his alma mater. They eventually compromised, letting him attend regular school, but would go to Xavier's on weekends for power controls. Middle School was fine at first. Conrad had a some trouble communicating, due to English not being his first language, and culture barriers with other students. He broke when another child called him a 'greasy border hopper' and other ethnic slurs. His anger caused him to change into his other form. The teacher was not present in the room as other children called a freak, demon, and Satan. Conrad left the school that day refusing to go back. His mother caved, letting him attend Xavier's. Conrad learned to control his shift, his teleporting, and his power powers. He's still affected by the words spoken to him. Having a father who understood helped, but he couldn't help seeing himself as a demon. Technically, he is.
Although he was trained at the X-men school, Conrad didn't want to be a superhero. He was still ashamed of his other side and wanted to help people another way. He had become fascinated with the military on America's patriotic holidays. He decided to enlist in the Air Force without either of his parent's knowledge. When his family found out, they desperately tried to talk him out of it. His mutation would come out in a violent situation and military is not a place for mutant. He ignored their warnings and went through training to fly a plane. Unfortunately, he ended up changing during stress test training. They were quick to dishonorably discharge him from a the air force. He was once again rejected due to his mutation. His father tried to convince him to try Descendant Academy, but Conrad still refused to have the superhero life.
After his discharge from the air force, he worked as mechanic for the JFK airport. He ended up meeting a flight attendant named Rachel. The two began to have an intense, romantic dalliance. The two's relationship became monogamous relationship after he saved her from some drunk men at a bar they frequented. Conrad began to fall in love with her. However, he was afraid of showing her his other side. He couldn't ruin their relationship. Conrad was already planning to propose. After two years of dating, the two got into a fight. She was angry, sensing he wasn't being completely honest with her. Conrad stormed off, leaving her alone in a dangerous side of town. He found out the next day she was murdered in a mugging gone wrong. Conrad blamed himself for her death. If he had stayed instead of leaving... If they talked it out and he told her about his other side. The worst part was the voicemail she left him before she was murder, telling him that she loved no matter what he was hiding and that he was her hero. Her death convinced him to join Descendant Academy. He would learn how to be hero to others like he was to Rachel.
