Official Description
Connor Samuel John Ball is a 24-year-old Scottish 2nd-year university student. He is formerly mute and suffers from asthma, nut allergies and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. With the help of his amulet, he can wield a scythe and can transform into a spirit.

Appearance
He is shown to have messy, black hair/brown moved to the left (his right), bright blue eyes and pale/fair skin with a few freckles. He wears a warm grey shirt elbow-length shirt with light grey sleeves, black jeans and black shoes. His scythe is shown to be red and translucent like the other dark syndrome victims. His sleepwear consists of a grey shirt and black sweatpants. He stands on 5 ft. 8 and is of average weight. His outfit consists of a black short-sleeved dress shirt, black jeans and black shoes. Connor turns red in his spirit form.

Personality
He is mainly mute in the series and can mouth out words(though his moaning can be heard in Season 7). His dialogue shows an asterisk which shows that he is saying something and only the Zodiac team can understand.

He deeply cares for Brad and got a little scared when he was in the hospital. This is because of traumatic experiences that happened in his life which mainly revolve around Brad which might be the cause of his mutism. Like when Brad almost suffered a stroke after his lung transplant(which happened in 2018) and when Brad got a head trauma and his infection went back(which happened around September)

Like his peers, he can show concern and shows immaturity. It is also possible that he has PTSD after the traumatic events have happened. He also has a habit of waking up late. He can finally talk later in Season 7 and onwards.

As of Season 8, he is shown to speak Scottish Gaelic when he gets stressed out. As of Season 9, he is afraid of moths and finds wearing a kilt ridiculous. He has a special bond with his boyfriend, Brad.

Etymology
(First name) Connor is an Irish male given name, anglicised from the compound Irish word "Conchobhar", meaning "Lover of wolves" or "Lover of hounds". Its popularity likely derived from the name of Conchobar mac Nessa, a semi-legendary king of Ulster in Dál Riata described in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology.

(1st middle name) Samuel (sometimes spelled Samual) is a male given name and a surname of Hebrew origin meaning either "name of God" or "God heard" (שם האלוהים Shem HaElohim) (שמע אלוהים Sh'ma Elohim). Samuel was the last of the ruling judges in the Old Testament. He anointed Saul to be the first King of Israel and later anointed David.

(2nd middle name) The name John is a theophoric name originating from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן‎ (Yôḥānān), or in its longer form יְהוֹחָנָן‎ (Yəhôḥānān), meaning "YHWH has been gracious". Several obscure figures in the Old Testament bore this name, and it grew in popularity once borne by the high priest Johanan.

(Last name) Ball is an English surname that has multiple potential origins, as do quite a few other short surnames: one origin suggests that Ball is a shortened form, a "favourite contraction", of the given name Baldwin, dating "from Norman times" another purported origin is related to living near a "knoll or rounded hill"
