Personal Interests: The only hobby he professes to have is a love of and desire to know everything about knives. He also takes great pleasure in doing the work of Terra Incognita and when not on a specific assignment he can often be found "Spiking" trees so that when loggers try to cut them down they are seriously injured or even killed. It is this past-time that he gets his nickname from.
History: His parents ran a herring fishing fleet and Conall had a normal life until he was in his late teens. A catastrophic oil spill in the North Sea devastated the herring schools that his father's business depended on. Unable to support his family Connall's father took his frustration out on his family before finally abandoning them. Having enjoyed the occasional fight growing up Connall turned to the underground fighting circuit to provide money for his family to rebuild with. He quickly learned that he had a natural knack for knives and quickly became a top fighter. After one of these fights a well-dressed man approached him and asked if he would like to be able to get revenge on the people who destroyed his family. That conversation would eventually lead him to be a member of Terra Incognita.
