Sold into slavery along with the other children from his village, Conan is forced with others to push a human-powered mill, The Wheel of Pain. Reaching adulthood as the sole survivor, he has become broad and strong. As a reminder of his days in slavery, Conan wore a "Wheel of Pain" pendant around his neck until the death of Valeria.
