Synopsis
Conan takes Peleon out into the Cimmerian wilds to show him how to be a man. After fighting some Picts, Peleon angers a bear and ends up being captured by Conobar. Angered over the death of his bear-servant, Conobar attacks and tries to kill Conan. Killing him in self defense, Conan mourns him after realizing he was his son via his encounter with Ursla many years before.
