History

Tetra was one of the many daughters of the Brythunian nobleman Zacharus.

When she was seventeen, Zacharus took Tetra with him on a quest in the Pictish Wilderness to find the half of a treasure map, the other half being sewn into Tetra's dress. When their caravan was attacked by Picts, Zacharus was captured. Conan rescued Tetra, then reunited father and daughter, though Zacharus did abandon Tetra in the village. Conan was forced to battle the entire village, and was only saved by Tetra who grabbed and threatened to stab the shaman Kawagne. The trio then fled in search of the map.[1]

Tetra was possessed by the power of the ancient sorcerer Nostume. She she was caught by the Demon Wolf, she was doomed to wander the time stream for all eternity, cursed with everlasting life and near-limitless eldritch power, embodying the undying force of an ageless evil.[2]

She then journeyed back through the time stream to kill Conan, when he was a kid in Cimmeria, but she eventually reconsidered and left.[2]

She was later killed by Conan to prevent the demon from taking control and hurting people.[3]
