In his youth he was notoriously volatile, a hot head who believed he had to been asserting his dominance and masculinity at every turn. He was educated on the error of his ways and learned the value of discretion. Of implying threat over asserting it. His demeanor was further refined when he took his one real break from life in the family business, serving in Iraq. By the time he returned he was something of a changed man but more committed to the family than ever before.<br/><br/>These days Conor is the Under Boss to his family with a reputation as a ruthless pragmatist. While his explosive outbursts are a thing of the past he still believes violence to be the supreme authority. The White Hands power is based on its capacity to perform violence when needed. This is not to say violence is the only (or even first) weapon in his arsenal but he has certainly proved his capacity to use it with all the military precision expected as the special forces veteran. But he's a pragmatist first and foremost, he'll work a deal when it makes sense and use persuasion over intimidation when its better for the family. He's patient and smart enough to listen to the consigliere and of course his father.<br/><br/>When times were good he would make routine trips to Ireland, strengthening ties with the IRA (and occasionally to watch the Irish team play rugby) but he also appears to have interests in Germany, especially where a supply of guns are concerned. With concerns on the homefront however he plans to keep his feet very firmly planted and play his part in getting the family through what's to come.<em>Tiocfaidh ár lá.</em><br/><br/><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Wanted Ad - Conor's wife</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> _____ McCarthy (Nee _____ ) <br/><strong>Age:</strong> 30 - 38<br/><strong>Role:</strong> Wife/Partner-in-Crime<br/><strong>Requested FC:</strong> Katie McGrath (negotiable but highly preferred)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Married sometime after his return from Iraq</li><li>Aware of his involvement in organised crime, may also work with the family.
