* CreepyGood: Pelias is nothing but helpful, charmingly friendly and respectful to Conan, but his powers are so unholy and terrifying (such as casually using an AnimateDead spell to escape a dungeon) that Conan wants nothing to do with him afterwards.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Pelias practices really dark magic and has a soul that can frighten EldritchAbomination, but he is reverent to nobility unlike Tsothal-lanti. When Conan introduces himself as king of Aquilonia Pelias adresses him as such and offer to pour him a drink when they find a bottle of wine (Conan decline and pour a drink for Pelias and down the bottle).

* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's perfectly friendly, helpful to Conan, and it's thanks to his aid that the king is able to escape the prison an retake his kingdom. But Pelias ''is'' a sorcerer in a setting where MagicIsEvil, and the spells he weaves are of a notable sinister kind, which include doing things like animating the dead and summoning eldritch ''things'' to do his bidding. It's for this reason why Conan hopes to never see him again, despite being thankful for his help.
Added DiffLines:
* EnemyMine: He and Conan share an enemy in Tsotha-lanti, which is why Pelias is all too happy to lend his aid to the king.
