History
The Snow Queen ruled over the albino people (or "snow-skins") of Leng who lived in one of the subterranean cities of the Old Ones under the Mountains of Madness, in the South Pole, in the Hyborian Age, circa 10,000 BC.
Her daughter Ta-No, fated to take her mother's stead, refused and instead ran away, risking death in the process.
Ta-No eventually returned, accompanied by Conan, Bêlit, and the Black Corsairs, with the mutinied chieftain Ghomli on their trail. Captured by the snow-skins, the party was brought to the Snow Queen and was sentenced to death, save for Conan, saved by Ta-No who took him for mate. Once away, Conan returned and foiled the execution. Before the Snow Queen could order her men to retaliate, Ghomli and his Black Corsairs arrived, and the Snow Queen was slain, struck by a spear. After the Snow Queen's death, Ta-No fled with Conan, but decided to stay with her tribe and dead mother, and upon stumbling unto Ghomli, charged him but was hurled to her death in a precipice, only to be avenged by Conan.[1]Notes
- This character was never named except as "the queen", "the Snow Queen", or "maga" (seemingly "mother" in the tongue of the snow-skins).
