Connie is one of the many people that went to Rapture to escape the horrors of the surface. However, his methods on getting in were “different” to say the least. Connie Springer, born May 2nd 1943, grew up in a prejudiced neighborhood and because he is African American, he faced heavy discrimination from his white neighbors. His family snuck aboard a ship that was going to Rapture and his parents helped with the construction. He was nine when he worked for Fontaine Fisheries  and still faced discrimination against whites in Rapture. However, he soon became associated with a little sister and they became best friends. She became his first friend in Rapture… His first white friend and he vows to protect her, no matter the cost. Even if the foreboding events try to break them apart… His care rivals even the greatest bonds of Big Daddies.

Connie has a very upbeat, lighthearted personality and tone to his voice. He often uses humour, in a way to mask the pain he is feeling/has felt in his past. Yet, he can switch into a serious tone in a heart beat.

SIDENOTE: Connie will be using some terminology that some may find offensive due to his background.
