Description
Geoffrey Connor co-founded the LIVE Corporation, a pharmaceutical company publicly engaged in medical research while secretly experimenting on prisoners. His goal: refining the advanced masks granting supernatural abilities, technology he helped develop. Prolonged mask use left Connor with white hair, deteriorating health, and a reliance on a cane. He adheres to a personal philosophy justifying individual sacrifice for scientific progress and human evolution, categorizing people accordingly.
Fred Faraday, Connor's brother, remained firmly in the "not willing to sacrifice" category despite their opposing ethical views: Faraday believed science should serve humanity ethically, while Connor prioritized progress over morality. Connor provided Faraday sanctuary during the SSC investigation into LIVE Corporation and secured his protection through mercenary Harry Creighton. Later, Connor personally intervened in a hospital confrontation, attempting to save Faraday using an experimental mask prototype. The prototype healed Faraday's wounds but triggered its inherent rapid aging side effect, killing him shortly after. Connor exhibits deep regret over his role in his brother's death.
Connor manipulates Harry Creighton into serving as LIVE Corporation's enforcer by exploiting Creighton's need for medical care for his comatose girlfriend, Eve Palmer. Connor holds Eve's condition hostage to ensure Creighton's cooperation in retrieving masks and eliminating threats. Following Faraday's death and the collapse of LIVE Corporation's initial operations, Connor continues his quest to perfect mask technology. His primary objective shifts to acquiring the unique mask worn by Tina Herst. This mask sustains Tina's life after prenatal exposure to energy from a laboratory accident that killed her mother during mask research. Connor views Tina's mask as essential for eliminating the rapid aging flaw and achieving his vision for human evolution, making his pursuit of it a central conflict. Connor's story concludes with his death.
