Could I potentially use his ability each time he participates in a conflict or only once? Thanks in advance

All triggered abilities are once per round unless otherwise specified so probably only once (I haven't memorized what this card says).

He is a 4-cost Crab Dynasty character.

His Action: during a Conflict in which he is participating, if there is a Holding in play, gain 1 Fate. He also has Covert.

So, yeah: once per round.

Keep in mind that his action ability can only be used only once per round, but Covert can be used again if you somehow manage to get him ready and declare him as attacker in a second conflict.

This is incorrect, Covert, Pride, and other abilities can trigger multiple times as they are not triggered action abilities.

Triggered Ability Definition: page 18
A boldface timing command followed by a colon indicates that
an ability is a triggered ability.Triggered abilities fall into one
of the following types: actions, interrupts, and reactions. Some
interrupt and reaction abilities are also forced.

Triggered Abilities: page 18
Unless otherwise specified by the ability itself, each
triggered ability may be triggered once per round. This limit
is player specific.

Interpretation on my part:
Covert, Pride, and others like it: Don't have the Timing Command thing before them. So they aren't Triggered abilities. So they don't have the single triggering rule.
