A mysterious and sinister crone with magical powers, she turned Janissa into her unquestioning enforcer and ordered her to serve as bodyguard to Kalanthes.
----
* DealWithTheDevil: She offers her protection to Conan from Thoth-Amon. Him being GenreSavvy and knowing what happened to [[BreakTheCutie Janissa]], he refuses.
* EvilMentor: To Janissa. The way she turned an innocent girl into a cold assassin was despicable.
* EvilOldFolks: While her motives for protecting Kalanthes and Conan are mysterious, there is no denying that this crone is evil.
* InstrumentOfMurder: Instead of some wand or staff, she uses a flute to canalize her magic in order to raise and control zombies or to [[spoiler:manipulate an EldritchAbomination such as Nazu]].

* BadassNormal: Most of Conan's enemies were dark wizards, Sharaq only got a metal arm with detachable blades and a very dark determination.
* BerserkButton: Conan the Cimmerian is the biggest one for him, but the prospect of any one else killing him but Sharaq himself sends him in a frenzy.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Has a tendency to [[UngratefulBastard kill people who help him out]].
* {{Determinator}}: Despite being a villain, he is more of this trope than an ImplacableMan, since he keeps coming back through sheer force of will.
* EscapedFromHell: In the second confrontation with Conan, Sharaq was thrown into a sacrificial pit and dragged to a infernal dimension by the very hands of a demon-god. He was forced to serve said demon-god, who created a device to cross over into the mortal plane, but Sharaq waited for his master to sleep long enough to steal the device and go back home.

* HumanPopsicle: His ultimate fate is being frozen in place.
* JokerImmunity: He survived things that any other person would have died from: being thrown off a tower, dragged to another dimension, turned into a statue. It got to the point even the writers were sick of him.
* KickTheDog: Let's see: killing an elderly couple who saved him after his escape from the Zingarans, murdering the blacksmith who forged his mask and metal arm, raping a young woman right after he killed her lover, testing the rapid aging dust on a prostitute, holding an entire family hostage... The list is very long.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He vowed by the gods that he would take Conan's life himself and not even under pain of torture he would reveal his location.
* ThePowerOfHate: His hate for Conan keeps him alive.
* TalkLikeAPirate: He distinctly spoke this manner in this introduction. This comes to bite him in the ass big time when a couple of Zingaran sailors find him marooned in an isle and he pretends he is just a Zingara fisherman, but his accent completely gives him away and the others recognize him as Captain Sharaq and promptly arrest him.
* TakenForGranite: A cat-like monster turned him into a gem statue, though he managed to recover.
