He quickly established a reputation as someone not to be trifled with, earning respect through his ruthless efficiency and cold calculation.
As he matured, Condo began to dream of greater things, his ambition driving him to seek out new opportunities for power.

Personality Quirks
Obsession with Symmetry: Condo has a compulsive need for symmetry in his surroundings. He becomes visibly agitated if objects are out of place or not perfectly aligned, often taking time to rearrange them before he can focus on anything else.
Collector of Tokens: Condo collects small tokens from his victims or significant events in his life. These can be anything from a button to a lock of hair, and he keeps them in a small pouch. He claims that these tokens give him strength, but it's really a way for him to maintain control and remember his conquests.
Fear of Imperfections: Condo has a deep-seated fear of physical imperfections, leading him to constantly inspect himself for blemishes, scars, or other flaws. This can lead to bizarre behaviors like wearing gloves at all times to avoid calluses or avoiding direct sunlight to prevent skin damage.
Superstitious Beliefs: Despite his intelligence, Condo is superstitious and believes in omens and portents. He often consults various signs before making decisions and interprets coincidences as messages from the gods or other supernatural forces.
Meticulous Rituals
Condo has a series of meticulous rituals he follows each day, believing that they bring him luck and keep him grounded. He will not start his day until these rituals are completed, regardless of how much pressure he might be under.
Condo is deeply invested in maintaining order and structure in his life. To accomplish this, he has developed a set of meticulous rituals that he performs every morning before starting his day. These rituals are a combination of religious devotion, personal superstition, and a means to center himself.
Examples of his rituals might include:
- Incantations and Mantras: Condo recites specific phrases in various languages he knows, particularly those associated with the deities he respects, including Loviatar. He believes these mantras offer protection and guidance throughout his day.
- Physical Exercises: He performs a precise set of exercises to maintain his physical strength and agility. These exercises involve stretches, isometric holds, and specific combat movements to keep his body in peak condition.
- Item Arrangements: Condo meticulously arranges his belongings, ensuring his weapons, armor, and tools are in specific positions. Each item must be polished and inspected to confirm it’s in optimal condition.
- Daily Cleansing: He practices a form of ritual cleansing, often using scented oils or incense to purify himself and his surroundings, which helps him feel focused and rejuvenated.
Condo believes that skipping any part of these rituals will result in misfortune or bad luck, which drives his insistence on completing them, even in high-pressure situations. This rigidity sometimes causes friction with those who do not share his beliefs or find his behavior odd.
Unusual Talents
Condo has a knack for psychological manipulation, which he uses to control the emotions and actions of others. This talent has served him well in his various dealings, particularly when it comes to gaining an advantage over his foes or allies.

- Body Language Control: His understanding of body language is keen, allowing him to project authority, intimidation, or deceit as needed. This skill is particularly useful in combat, where he can fake a move to mislead his opponents or create openings.
- Strategic Silences: Condo understands the power of silence and uses it effectively. By pausing at key moments in conversation, he can make others uncomfortable and draw out information or reactions that they might not otherwise reveal.
Condo's mastery of mind games allows him to influence people in subtle ways, giving him a significant edge in any situation. His ability to manipulate others can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on the context, and it has the potential to create complex dynamics within a group.
