LM-
This character is one of Elin's friends, with whom they studied together at the magic tower. At Elin's request, they will arrive at the castle and receive royal protection while investigating the missing magicians in the west tower.

Which of these two designs would you like to see in the game?
First one looks like a thief. More like Cass.
Second one is a bit closer to a scholar type.

This Conrad and the king have the same mother, but he has blond hair while the king has dark hair. Is there something fishy going on here? Can this Kingsguard really be trusted?
Conrad may have gotten his looks from the same mother. Even identical twins sometimes have different hair colors, or other traits. I don't think this mother is ever mentioned, but Elis thinks the king may prefer blondes, so maybe his father (the Red Emperor) also preferred a blonde wife?

As far as I know, for blond children to appear, it is enough that there are already blond-haired children in the family. And if I remember correctly, in Elise memories, if you choose that you will be that you feel more like an elf, then they will show you your ancestors and it seems that they had blond hair. If I remember everything correctly, I haven't replayed the first chapters for a long time

I don't see anything weird about Conrad having blond hair. He could've easily got that from his mother and if I'm not mistaken, that's what was said in the game at some point. Think Sera pointed that out to the King when he became paranoid at the dinner. Before naming Elis heir. Either that, or someone in his recent family had blond hair.

Not to mention, I don't think the dev is going to do anymore of these bloodline twists. It's already getting complicated to keep up with as is. If they keep adding more on top of it, it's just going to turn into an incoherent mess.

Since it's currently unclear whether the Red Emperor's hair was black or brown, Conrad's lineage cannot be definitively confirmed. Theoretically, if the Red Emperor had dark hair, his descendants would at most have brown hair, and it's unlikely that any would remain blond into adulthood, even if their mother was blond.
I've seen one parent with brown hair and one with blond hair, and children with blond hair from infancy that gradually darkened. But I've never seen a child with blond hair under these circumstances.
Perhaps I'm not well-informed enough, or perhaps I've been misled by George R.R. Martin. I'm still confused about the Red Emperor's true cause of death. What happened to Regis's imprisoned brother? And the fact that Regis was killed while Elis was peeking into the past doesn't seem realistic. Is there some secret behind this?

Regis was killed by Cass mother. The current King is the oldest brother that was imprisoned. We don't know if the current king actually killed his father. But he is the cause of it and with the elves help, he replaced his deceased brother. This entire thing was all engineered in a large part by Alaina as a way for the elves to take over. She killed Cass mother afterwards, made "Regis" get with Sera (Queen) and have children so they would inherit the throne. Even going as far as making him sterile afterwards so he couldn't father more bastards. If the above is indeed true. That makes Elis, Elin and Lia the cousin of Cass.

Also, I think Valerian and Valerie is an in game example of a blond child coming from a black haired father. Even though Valerie original hair was blonde before stress turned it white/gray? I would include Elis but since he's a half elf, that could be factoring in a lot. Since his kids with Aurora all have blonde hair while his kids with Isis have black hair.

I would like to ask a question: if you choose, during the encounter with the entity in the forest (or swamp), to see the present and visualize Alaina talking to Conrad, does that change any dialogue in the recent update?

From what I noticed, not much. But that could just be me not choosing them in the forest. Since I only chose it for specific playthroughs. Mage Elis does bring up that she got him exiled though. Which is something he learned through a vision. So maybe some of the dialogue has Elis bringing it up in the meeting with Alaina. I'll have to go back and check though.
