Corin

Corin is Greshan's husband, the father of Conan and Siobahn and the renowned blacksmith of his village in Cimmeria.

History

Robert E. Howard never wrote a story detailing Conan's origins, we can only piece it together through reading his work. The only line about his father is as follows:

There is more to be said about Conan's early life though, which is revealed in a letter Howard wrote to a fan named P.S. Miller who was curious about the Cimmerian's origins. The relevant excerpt is as follows:

So we only know Conan's father was a blacksmith, and one of his grandfathers was a foreigner to the tribe, though still Cimmerian. On his mother nothing else is written.

Other versions

In Conan the Adventurer (animated series) Conan's father is named Manir instead and was turned into a stone statue by Wrath-Amon like his wife and father.

In Conan the Barbarian (1982 movie), Corin told his son to trust only his sword before Thulsa Doom's army attacked their village and he got mauled by the evil sorcerer's pack of dogs.
