Conor Cullen is a character and primary protagonist in Echoes from Elsewhere series of novels. He first appears in The Blessed Son.

Appearance

Conor Cullen is 6 feet tall, slim and toned, with dark brown hair. When not in uniform he wears dress shirts tucked into blue jeans, and a belt that matches his boots.

Personality

Conor is quiet, stoic, and gently assertive. He is a gentleman who believes chivalry and dignity elevate everyone.

He fears nothing.

Conor's moral alignment is primarily lawful good, and he acts as expected by society. However, he is not afraid to follow his conscience if he believes society is wrong. If his society were to suddenly embrace Marxism or consensus-alignment, he would tell them to kick rocks.

An Aspie, he excels at bringing structure to a problem. He dislikes the term "high functioning," as it is a relative term and too frequently gets confused with "well-functioning."

Conor distinguishes between acquaintances, friends, and (found) family. When it comes to his found family, Conor is very much a “whose car we taking?” kind of man — especially with Katy, Kaylee, and McKenna, whom he considers the closest of sisters.
