Hey rateater, it's been quite some time since I read all the stories, so I can't definitively say any certain character is a direct carryover from the original Howard writings. However, Queen Taramis, the monster at the end, and the evil Wizard in the temple really feel like Conan universe characters to me. I love this movie. I can't recommend enough reading Howards Conan for yourself man, the stories are spectacular.

Here's where to get started:https://www.amazon.com/Coming-Conan-Cimmerian-Barbarian-Book-ebook/dp/B000FBJE24/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2OG6XNMR5PDGB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.64W-LgyGQD8Lwiw_S4J3PnBtxz7GDfb5umJKbPu1cK0IvyGMq6CFmnbrLnKa4vMGh021DFbGIL3Kawrz_LiCLPbIexN4Tqj8IYbk_g5IMDeeVKrtYtXYvLyDglwiYNJHeOdxQVHdWhBN3JIoA4gYaVIVcryBhxdT6fP0zAaS_HdeEfmQ49P_LOMVgPbEbGYIK2MK7lPAXjmsQLq6wiqSQH506-5otNzaQiZhe1hFEpv_oFExcwvEPnTp681RKyGNmjhJwrwjFO1Qgv-8Y8HEiVp8hAra1bhGjsRNZqQYgl4.9CNIZxFP3rjViapNWLT2D_OAg5E6mJYBzBG_V1ZtCL4&dib_tag=se&keywords=conan+book&qid=1709859122&sprefix=conan+book%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-2
