Conan is the son of Corin, chief of a barbarian tribe. The youth is a skilled but violent warrior, who his father believes is not ready to wield his own sword. Their village is attacked by Khalar Zym, a warlord who wishes to reunite the pieces of the Mask of Acheron to revive his dead wife and conquer Hyboria. Thousands of years ago, the Mask, crafted by a group of sorcerers and used to subjugate the world, was broken into many pieces, which were scattered among the barbarian tribes. After locating Corins piece of the mask, and murdering the entire village, Zym leaves. Conan, the only survivor, swears revenge.Years later, Conan has become a pirate but still seeks revenge. He encounters a slave colony and frees it, killing all of the slave handlers in the process. In the city of Messantia, he encounters ElaShan, a thief being chased by a man whom Conan recognizes as Lucius, one of Zyms soldiers from years before. He allows himself to be captured alongside ElaShan. Conan escapes imprisonment, kills several of the guards, and confronts Lucius, forcing him to reveal that Zym seeks a girl, the pureblood descendant of the sorcerers of Acheron sacrificing the descendant and using blood from the body of the girl will unleash the masks power. Conan helps the rest of the prisoners to escape, and, in gratitude, ElaShan tells Conan that, if he ever needs him, Conan will find him at the City of Thieves, Argalon. Lucius is then killed by the prisoners. ........
