Connor Mac Lyrr

From King's Quest Omnipedia

(Redirected from Connor)
Connor Mac Lyrr is a tanner and artist who lives in a small village outside of Daventry (meaning the castle most likely). Despite his humble class, he is brave and noble. Connor had a girlfriend, Sarah. When the Mask of Eternity was broken, a shard fell on his feet, and this prevented the spell from turning him into stone like everyone else. The Mask had chosen him to be the Champion Eternal, the Chosen One, the Deliverer, the Enlightened One, and the True Upholder. Traveling through many realms, he managed to reach the Realm of the Sun and reunite the pieces, returning life to Daventry.

Connor was the Deliverer of the Dimension of Death, by balancing the Scales of Justice freeing Lord Azriel from his imprisonment, and healing the Sacred Heart, stopping the bloodletting.

Connor's future is unknown, and it is implied that he may have remained in the Realm of the Sun among the Archons.

[edit] Connor in the Unofficial Games

In KQ2+ due to a curse put on Graham by Morgeilen he is left with no residing heir, as his son and daughter made forged their own paths in other kingdoms. Fortunately, the new champion Connor had arose in Daventry and was worthy of filling in the void. When had returned to Daventry king Graham discussed the idea of making him heir, and wondered if he would be able to fulfill his obligations as Champion Eternal and still be able to rule Daventry. Since he had proven his nobility by defeating Lucreto and saving the world, King Graham decided to make him his First Knight. Thus he became his successor and heir to throne.

It should be noted however, that in the official King's Quest Companion it is implied that Rosella only visits Etheria and she along with Edgar would remain the future heirs of Daventry.

According to The Silver Lining he no longer lives in the realm of the sun, he married Sarah, and was knighted as the new Captain of the Royal Guard, thanks to his actions of saving the kingdom.
