Conrich is arguably the worst bard to travel the First Kingdom of Dargarth, but he still seems to make loads of money, possibly from writing cheap thriller novels.
He is an okay knife-fighter and a notorious flirt, but, despite rampant mediocrity, he thinks very highly of himself and always has a cheery demeanor.

Early Life

Conrich was raised among the upper-class families of Bitter Peak, as the bastard son of councilor Rodrich Dolsworth. At twenty-five, after an argument with his father, he left Bitter Peak to find his mother's people, the elves. He didn't need to travel far until he found and joined a wood-elf village in the forest, just to the south, where he spent a few years before he started a troupe of minstrels to travel the lands for the purpose of earning money for the small community.

Homecoming

Upon returning, many years later, the troupe found the forest in ashes and the people nowhere to be seen. They learned that the insular mercenaries from the mountain had taken over, and decided the elves were a threat to be removed. His companions fled the land, but Conrich decided to seek out his human family, when he was captured and imprisoned. They claimed he was an elf spy, but his nephew was on the Bitter Peak council, and defended him, preventing his execution. He could not prevent his imprisonment, however. Conrich had only himself as company for a year and a half in the Bitter Dungeons.

Impersonation

He was released by the Lord of Blood, Uulmshar, who needed a body-double to lead military actions in his stead. The two had similar features, and Conrich's mediocre acting skills would fit the job perfectly. Obviously, he agreed, and was given a wardrobe imitating Uulmshar's own.
When he wasn't pretending to be a death cleric, he wandered the lands of the First Kingdom, searching for riches in the guise of providing entertainment and joy. He received a letter from Uulmshar, informing him that his services as stand-in general would no longer be needed, as Uulmshar had been unseated by Savalis, thus freeing Conrich of any and all obligations.

Independence

After a year or so of aimless wandering, he returned to Bitter Peak to learn that the entire house of Dolsworth had been ousted during a coup on the old council, and they were nowhere to be found. Having no familial ties to the mountain city, he left for greener, warmer lands, with more exotic cultures, prettier women, and heavier treasuries. He also started dabbling in more slight-of-hand magic tricks, as they tend to draw bigger audiences.
Conrich was hired by the Knights of Erzoth as a quick at the fourth Skullbowl, quickly losing to Legion's team in the first match. He chose to stay as a referee for the rest of the games, and was awarded the "good sportsmanship" trophy.
Dameaion of Dominion found Conrich, in a Bitter Peak uniform, defending a Sanctuary tower from a Mardurian assault, and took him prisoner. King Thorne later came to visit him in Dominion. He was released a few weeks later. He has lately been seen working with the Mercenaries of Bitter Peak. He claims that he's following them for inspiration for his next book, but many will point out that he has a history of just following where the money flows heaviest, and Savalis is a very generous employer.
