He can be stubborn, bullheaded, and his pride doesn't take kindly to insults.
He can be vengeful upon his enemies but never without just cause, and he never seeks needless bloodshed although he does enjoy a good brawl and a challenge.Ĭonan is loyal, to his friends and family, and his allies, willing to come to their aid when they need it, and he has a strong sense of honor and always keeps his word. Conan is courageous, compassionate, and possesses unyielding determination to accomplish his goals, especially in restoring his family to flesh and blood after they were turned to stone by the evil wizard Wrath-Amon. Asking how his family could be restored, the sage instructed Conan to destroy Wrath-Amon's Black Ring, the conduit of his evil magic and all his dark spells would be undone, freeing Conan's family.īefore Conan could leave, Epimetrius offered to him a stout shield that also served as the home of a fledgling phoenix named Needle, instructing the little fiery bird to advise Conan as his new companion, and assuring Conan Needle would prove his worth and to give the little phoenix a pomegranate every once in a while.īeneath the rugged exterior of this stubborn and temperamental Barbarian is a good and noble heart.

Requiring the Star Metal to create a doorway to set his master free of the Abyss, Wrath-Amon confronted Manir and demanded all his Star Metal, but the blacksmith had already sold them all. He was trained in the ways of the Shadow-Walkers by the Silent Dragons, embraced as the honorary brother of Zula, the prince of the Wasai, who helped him to learn that Conan's Spirit Animal is a Lion, and even discovered his own people, the Cimmerians, are descended from the people of Atlantis and Conan himself is direct descendant of the last Atlantean King, and many times in his adventures it is hinted that Conan himself would be a king one day.Īs a boy, he and his grandfather Conn witnessed the falling of stars, many of which Conan and his father, Manir the village blacksmith, collected and Manir transformed these otherworldly minerals into many amazing weapons made of what they dubbed Star Metal.Īlas, this reputation caught the ear of the wicked and despicable Wrath-Amon, the lord and dark wizard of the Serpent Men and devoted servant of the evil entity known as Set.
