* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Conan gets pretty brutal during his breakout at the end, killing or maiming the policemen, many of whom were {{Punch Clock Villain}}s at worst, but then, they ''were'' holding him captive and accusing him of a murder he didn't commit.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Demetrio the inquisitor tends to be popular with readers for being an intelligent ReasonableAuthorityFigure, and one of the few ''Conan'' antagonists to be an AntiVillain, if not a full-on HeroAntagonist.
