Zenobia (Fiction)

Zenobia (Fiction)

Zenobia is a seraglio concubine who has a romantic attachment to King Conan in the fictional universe of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Cimmerian. After freeing Conan from the dungeon of Xaltotun, she is later chosen by him to become the queen-consort of Aquilonia. She appears in Howard's only full-length Conan novel "The Hour of the Dragon", first published as a five part serial in "Weird Tales" between the months of December 1935 to April 1936.

Appearance

She is described in Hour of the Dragon as "lithe" and "beautiful." She has long, luxurious black hair and a notably pale skin tone. Her eyes are particularly stunning. She was dressed in a few scant scraps of clothing in Hour of the Dragon, but it was suggested she would normally be attired as such.

Character

Appearances in Other Media

An action figure of Zenobia was released by McFarlane Toys in April 2005, as part of their "Conan Series 2: The Hour of the Dragon". [ [http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=2589 McFarlane Toys: Zenobia] ]

Zenobia appeared in the Marvel Comics series, "The Savage Sword of Conan", and in the latest "Conan" series by Dark Horse Comics. In the latter series, she is depicted as pregnant with Conan's heir to the kingdom of Aquilonia.

Zenobia will feature as a major character in "Age of Conan", a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG).
