History

Salim was a Zuagir and one of the servants of Alwazir, known to possess the Blood of the Gods.

When Alwazir came to the desert, he met Conan, then war-chief of the Zuagirs, who made a vow of hospitality. Conan accompanied Alwazir and his servants, including Salim and Dirdar, in the desert, at the Caves of Khouram, from which he never came back. All the Zuagirs in that caravan swore to never betray the location.

When they scattered, Dirdar was brought in Azeem by Brokk the Argossean, Vallon of Aquilonia and Ortellus, and was pressured into giving them the location of Alwazir. Understanding the three brutes were after the Blood of the Gods, Dirdar proposed to give them the information and even guide them, in exchange for protection from Conan and a share of the treasure. Brokk accepted, and Dirdar was revealing the location when he was killed by Salim, a Zuagir formerly Alwazir's steward and who had remained loyal to Conan after the Zuagirs scattered, and sent ahead of him to Azeem. Salim was wounded in his fleeing, but managed to find Conan as he arrived in Azeem as the home of Achmet Mitkhal, and warn him about the trio of Hyborian rogues before expiring.[1]
