An all-powerful sorcerer, the great Hissah Zuhl (Jeremy Kemp) places Conan's homeland of Cimmeria under his iron rule and controls these lands through magical arts, trickery and threats.
Conan's troop (all of whom are entirely or effectively unique to this television show) most consistently is made up of Woodburn as the clever dwarf Otli, T. J. Storm as the animalistic capoeira warrior Bayu, and Robert McRay as the mute staff-wielder and wrestler Zzeban who communicates in sign language.
