Thulsa Doom was the founder and leader of the Cult of Set. A powerful wizard with a melodic voice and hypnotic gaze and the power to turn himself into a snake, Doom ruled from his Mountain of Power and controlled his subjects through the sheer force of his personality. His army invaded Conan's village when Conan was only a child to take the children into slavery, and Doom himself personally beheaded Conan's mother Verina after hypnotizing her into compliance.
Years later, Doom took the daughter of King Osric as his lover and an enraged Osric hired Conan and his companions Valeria and Subotai to steal her back. The three infiltrated the Mountain of Power and attacked Doom's followers during an orgy. Doom himself transformed into a snake and escaped, while his soldiers fended off the intruders. Nevertheless Conan's party successfully took the princess.
Human again, an enraged Doom swore the "infidel defilers" would pay for crossing him and killing his men (to say nothing of his pet giant python). Using his magic to turn a poisonous snake into a venom-tipped arrow, he shot and killed Valeria as Conan's group rode away from the Mountain. He then rallied his army to chase down and finish off the heroes. Conan, assisted by Subotai and the wizard Akiro, routed Doom's soldiers and killed his top lieutenants Rexor and Thorgrim.
Afterward, Doom confronted Conan atop the Mountain as he addressed his followers. Knowing Conan had come to kill him, an unfearing Doom attempting to hypnotize the barbarian as he had his mother. He argued that since it was hatred of him that gave Conan's life purpose and direction, then he, Thulsa Doom, was truly Conan's one and only parent. "For who is your father if not I? What would your life have been without me?"
Conan managed to overcome the cult leader's powerful gaze, and, disagreeing completely, used his real father's sword (appropriated by Rexor years before and reclaimed by Conan when he killed him) to cut off Doom's head, which he then threw into the midst of Doom's shocked followers.
