Konrad (assassin)
Konrad is a fictional character in William Gibson's novel ''All Tomorrow's Parties''. An anonymous and quasi-mystical assassin, Konrad is moved by the Tao in all his actions, heedless of the demands of his employers. He is clad in nondescript clothing and carries a tantō, which he wields with sublime and thoughtless skill. He is haunted by the memory of his lost lover, Lise.
__NOTOC__
== Characteristics ==
Konrad is portrayed as a mysterious, strangely philosophical corporate assassin. He is described as a retainer for media baron Cody Harwood although his employer does not seem to issue specific orders, nor does Konrad demonstrate a willingness to obey. Thus, Konrad's professional relationship to Harwood is a peculiar one; neither truly needs the other but the relationship is maintained nonetheless for collateral reasons.
Konrad is described in ''All Tomorrow's Parties'' as a slim, middle-aged man with short, grey hair and a vaguely academic resemblance like that of a professor. He wears a dark green woolen coat, dark grey pants, black leather shoes and round, gold-rimmed glasses; similar, then, in appearance to the author himself. In the considered opinion of ''The Washington Post'''s reviewer Michael Dirda, Konrad "nearly steals the book away".
