The Cobra Crown was created by the Serpent Men of Valusia, who eventually hid it under the temple of Tsathoggua, one of the Great Old Ones. It would eventually be found during the time of Conan, only to be lost again for millenia before it was found again by agents of Roxxon Energy in the modern era.
With the Cobra Crown, one can rule the minds of thousands, from animals (e.g. a snake or lion) to human beings. The crown warns the user of those who plan to ambush or assassinate him, resulting that no one threatening the wearer can come within a catapult shot. To access the power of the crown, the individual needs to be in direct contact with the crown.
