Biography
Early activism
When the Copper-Colored Council of Elders put up the Cupid Suggestion Box, Conquest left a note there suggesting that the Crew look into the idea of taking over the Interdimensional Tavern by force in order to lift the ban on romanticising its guests. The Council seemed to give it some consideration, but ultimately rejected the proposal. (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box)
Founding the Triangular Society
Adopting the title of “Grandmaster” and trying to conceal his identity with a black hood and robes, the renegade ended up founding the Triangular Society, with the intent of overthrowing the Cupid Prime and Cupid Parliament. He held the group's first meeting in a shed, and soon found his attempts to strike a serious, ominous tone thwarted by the fact that one of his new, hooded recruits was under the impression that this was some kind of Halloween party, and asked when they'd start bobbing for apples.

Later activities
Conquest, under the alias of “Unnamed, But Very Threatening Individual”, was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to The Cupid Courier's educational Q&A about the Rifts with Doctor Sigma. However, like most Cupids in the Q&A, he simply used the opportunity to rave about his own personal hang-ups, in this case deliver an over-the-top villainous monologue about how Rifts should be the least of the Crew's worries, as he would soon organise a coup and take it over. He ended up accidentally revealing his identity partway through the speech. Doctor Sigma dryly replied to all of this that “these [were] not questions — these [were] absurd ravings”.

At one point, Conquest was temporarily banished from the Cupid Homeworld. Ending up in the Jynx Dimension, he was taken on as an apprentice by the Dark Lord Nefarious and eventually persuaded Nefarious to take him back to the Homeworld. However, Nefarious died during his stay in the Homeworld and, instead of Conquest, it was Sebastian Steer who maneuvered himself into inheriting Nefarious's power. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
