He was found by Jedi Master Mace Windu and was taken to the Jedi Temple to begin his training as a Jedi. While training with the other younglings, Conor became good friends with Auric Truit and Anakin Skywalker. While he liked Anakin, Conor was somewhat jealous of the attention he recieved from the jedi elders. When they were 14 they were sent to Illm to forge their first lightsabers.

On Conor and Yarak's first mission, they encountered a young girl about Conor's age named Julianna Tenas. She was to be sold into slavery to Gandara the Hutt. Conor and Yarak managed to rescue her from the Hutt, along with all the other slaves. Afterwards, it was revealed that Julianna was the daughter of Terian Tenas, a Jedi master long believed to be dead. Terian had taught Julianna in the ways of the force. They returned to the Jedi Temple with Julianna to continue her training. During this period Conor and Julianna developed mutal romantic feelings for each other. Neither persued their feelings because they felt that their duties to the Jedi Order were more important than how the felt about each other. The only person Conor revealed his feelings to was Auric, who promised to keep them a secret.

Several months later Conor, Auric, Julianna and their respective masters were sent to the planet Pachat to quell a Dark Jedi incursion. During the ensuing battle, the leader of the dark jedi: Arak Nars escaped. Conor went after him. The two engaged in fierce lightsaber duel. During the fight, Arak tried to tempt Conor to join his cause. He stated that he knew about Conor's love of Julianna and that it was only his commitment to the Jedi that prevented him from being with her. Conor asked Arak how he knew that. Arak told him that he could sense Conor's feelings. He told Conor that if he killed his masters and joined him, he could have the life that he had always wanted. For a brief moment Conor lowered his weapon.

At that moment the other jedi appeared. Arak told Conor to choose his path. Conor looked at Julianna. He had made his choice. Conor then killed Arak with his lightsaber. Yarak told Conor that he was proud that he had been tempted by the dark side and had resisted. He also warned all of them to be careful, as the lure of the dark side would be forever present. Afterwards, Conor and Auric talked about what had occured. Conor told Auric that fighting Arak was terrifying. But then he said that what was worse was that for a time, he had actually considered Arak's proposal.

Battle of Geonosis and Aftermath
5 years later, Conor, Auric and Julianna were among the 200 jedi knights sent to rescue Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala.

Things looked grim until Master Yoda arrived with a fleet of republic gunships. The jedi joined forces with the Clone Troopers. During the battle, Conor and Auric helped take down several droid walkers.

After the battle, Conor and Auric were sent into the catacombs beneath Geonosis to search for survivors. Their search was unfruitful until they came across a chamber strewn with bodies of both jedi and clone troopers. Out of the shadows, two droids weilding electro-staffs. They drew their lightsabers and defended themselves. After they defeated the guards, they check to see if anybody was alive. They found one Jedi master barely clinging to life.

Conor was always extremely loyal to his companions. When any of them were in jepordy, he would do anything to save them. He always refused to turn his back on those in need of his help. He was very trusting of his friends, a fact that has helped and hurt him in the past. He tried to always believe in the goodness of others.

Conor does not wholely approve of Auric's tendency to fight first and ask questions later. Despite the disagreements, Auric remained Conor's most loyal friend.

Julianna Tenas
Simply put, Julianna is the love of Conor's life. This began when Conor and Yarak encountered Julianna and resuced her from a life of slavery. Both developed romantic feelings for each other. Neither of them took any action on these feelings as romantic relationships were forbidden by the Jedi Code. During the course of the Clone Wars, Conor wrestled with these conflicting feelings. She and Conor shared their first kiss before the Battle of Coruscant began as they professed their love for one another. After they both escaped the Jedi Purge, they were secretly married. Even after her death, Julianna's memory helped Conor resist the lure of the dark side.

Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader
Anakin and Conor struck up a friendship as younglings. Conor, Anakin and Auric often spent their free time exploring Coruscant. Conor was somewhat jelous of Anakin's talents and the attention he recieved from their jedi elders. During the Clone Wars, Conor and Auric fought side by side. During one such occasion, Conor learned of Anakin and senator Padme Amidala's secret marriage. Conor decided not to reveal his knowledge to anyone, not even Auric. When Anakin turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader, Conor felt personally betrayed. What was once friendship tured into a buring hatred. After Vader killed Julianna, Conor swore to avenge her death and the deaths of all the jedi that had died at his hand.
