"Silent."

—Mr. Draco

Longinus Connor is the second son of Dressrosa's Royal Family, the Longinus Family. Son to a notable gladiator and Longinus Niu, Connor was forcefully trained since a very young age to be a fighter like his father, the only person whom he'd fully love. Paranoic due to having lived almost all of his life in a Coliseum, Connor has also grown to deeply dislike his mother, Niu, nevertheless caring out most of her orders as a Soldier of the Royal Army.

Appearance

Unsurprisingly, Connor is described by many as having an intimidating appearance and aura. Being taller than any of his familiars by a certain margin, towering at 7'5" feet, certainly helps with his imposing factor. His eyes are as black as his hair which is long enough to reach his neck, having a wavy yet messy style to it. Connor's skin is quite light-toned, despite the sun in Dressrosa, giving it a contrast with his hair. His body is also well-built, result of his constant training as a Gladiator.

Connor's attire is rather simple in general. He wears a black t-shirt with 1/4 sleeves, long black gloves which are fingerless and reach his elbows, the forearm being wrapped by many dark red belts. Connor has a red scarf, long enough to even reach his hips, wrapped around his neck, given to him by his late father, being large enough to cover the lower part of his head. His pants are dark and have a leather texture to them, the thigh area having many dark red belts wrapped around it, the pants are held by a large red belt with a silver skull buckle. Connor's boots are a simple pair of dark ones which reach just below his knee.

Losing his left eye during the final tournament in the Coliseum, Connor wears a black eyepatch over it, although it doesn't cover the entirety of the vertical scar.

Personality

A defining trait of Connor is him being very cautious either when around people or when completely alone, making him somehow paranoid. Despite being alone with his brother, Judas, at the Corrida II, Connor often scanned the area around them. Even when reassuring himself out loud that they were alone, Connor continued to do it. It stretches to the point Connor observes a person's mannerisms, being capable of reading their actions without the aid of his Kenbunshoku. After resolving things with his brother Judas, Connor has since gained a better control of his emotions, shown when he didn't stammer and maintained a cold glare even if he was berating someone else. Though, he admits that he hasn't achieved full control as of yet.

Although he heavily dislikes his mother, to the point of not even referring to her as "Mom", Connor is willing to help out with the Kingdom's affairs, doing so as an Officer and Soldier of the Royal Army. As everyone prepared for the new Dressrosa Tournament, Connor made sure to stay as close as possible to Niu for reasons yet unknown.

Relationships

Longinus Family

Longinus Judas

Due to his behavior and actions in the past, Connor regards Judas as a weak-willed person. He is willing to confront him about Yeshua being killed and also about his extreme submission to their King. Although he can read most people with his eye alone, Connor can't tell how Judas truly feels. Ironically, Judas has proven to be the one most accustomed to Connor's habits, being capable of telling what Connor feels even when he has a blank expression.

After their fight, Connor seems to immensely trust Judas, gradually throwing out his animosity towards the older sibling. He would go as far as to defend him from Avelina during the Royal Dinner. He was also relieved to see that Judas was back and succeeded in his objective.

Longinus Yeshua

Connor seems to regard his late brother with respect, confronting his other brother, Judas, about his death.

Other Siblings

Connor says that his siblings don't talk much to him and wouldn't miss him even if he died.

Powers & Abilities

As the Second Child of the Longinus Family, Connor has a certain degree of control over the military and the royal servants. Being the Best Soldier of the Dressrosan Army, he is somewhat treated like Spriggan's Right-Hand Man and highly respected.

Physical Prowess

Connor seems to hold immense amounts of physical strength, capable of swing around a sword which is three times his size. Later on, he showed that he could wield said sword with only one hand.

Devil Fruit

Main article: Napa Napa no Mi

Connor ate the Namu Namu no Mi, a Logia type of Devil Fruit which lets him produce and become Napalm. The substance takes on a dark color with red tones through it, being quite sticky and highly flammable, both properties which Connor uses to his advantage.
