In his sixties, Conan leaves his country-never to return-to seek new battles in the uncharted west, leaving Conan II, his son by Queen Zenobia (a former Nemedian slave girl), to rule Aquilonia in his stead. But in his forties, he finally succeeds in becoming king of Aquilonia, the most powerful kingdom of the age, having strangled the previous ruler, Numedides, on the steps of his own throne. He begins building larger units of men, aiming for greater territorial ambitions, though his efforts are repeatedly thwarted, usually by the total massacre of his force excepting himself. He grew up quickly: by age fifteen he was already a respected warrior, participating in the destruction of the Aquilonian outpost of Venarium.Īfter this, he was struck by wanderlust beginning the colorful and exciting adventures chronicled by Howard and others, encountering various fabulous monsters, evil wizards, and beautiful princesses - he has traveled throughout the world and been a thief and outlaw, a mercenary and commander of a mercenary company, and a pirate. The weakened Greshan uses the last of her strength to give birth to her son and names him Conan before dying. During the battle in Cimmeria, his mother Greshan was fatally wounded by an enemy while attempting to save her husband.
He was born on a battlefield and is the son of the village blacksmith Corin. Conan is a Cimmerian, a barbarian of the far north.
