Savage/mad CONAN to the rescue

The beautiful Olivia has just been cornered by the evil Shah Amurath from who's vile clutches she has recently escaped. She think all is lost, when a stranger appears.

Olivia, staring up from the ground, saw what she took to be either a savage or a madman advancing on Shah Amurath in a manner of deadly menace. He was powerfully built, naked but for a girdled loin-cloth, which was stained with blood and crusted with dried mire. His black mane was matted with mud and clotted blood; there were streaks of dried blood on his chest and limbs, dried blood on the long straight sword he gripped in his right hand. From under the tangle oh his locks, bloodshot eyes glared like coals of blue fire.

Introducing... Olivia

We first meet Olivia as she flees her tormentor, Shah Amurath. Her initial introduction is quite brief,

From the dying steed there staggered up its rider, a slender girl in sandals and a girdled tunic. Her dark hair fell over her white shoulders, her eyes were those of a trapped animal.

We do get a further description a few pages later when CONAN eyes her up,

...he began to gaze at his fair companion with more interest than previously, noting the lustrous clusters of her dark hair, the peach-bloom tints of her dainty skin, and the rounded contours of her lithe figure which the scanty silk tunic displayed to full advantage.

CONAN fears nothing of this world

CONAN fears nothing of this world. Despite his skill and intellect the supernatural is a source of fear for our hero.

Foes of flesh and blood he did not fear, however great the odds, but any hint of the supernatural roused all the dim monstrous instincts of fear that are the heritage of the barbarian.
