Background

During the Hyborian Age it dwelled in the southern jungles of the Country of the Worm, terrorizing the Picts. When a tribe of Aesir migrated to the area, he killed them all except for their leader Noird who hunted it down and appeared to slay it.

Sometime before or after, the Old One lived in Koth where it encountered the powerful sorcerer Tsotha-Lanti to whom it submitted. Conan of Cimmeria would end up in the sorcerer's citadel and encountered it two times, both times surviving though not because of his own actions.
