My best guess is that he was a former burn victim, and that the incident had a major effect in his life. (Maybe his parents died in a fire, but he survived?) Arson's one of the tactics of the BO, after all, and his introduction case did involve fire. . . . Could be foreshadowing, for all we know.DCUniverseAficionado wrote:jimmy_kud0_tv2 wrote:His dark skin too, there is a profound meaning behind it. (laughs) "
Yeah, I thought that's what that part (意味深だよね/imi fukadayone) meant.
Even so, I can't think of anything beyond one (or both) of his parents having dark skin, themselves.

We all know that the series operates under a floating timeline, and thus, the technology in Conan evolves alongside with that of the the real world. Even flashback cases of recent past (i.e., 1-4 years before the current timeline) have characters using cellphones or smartphones, which makes sense since they have been around for several years now. But what about flashbacks from the more distant past, like from 10, 17, 20 years ago? Would it be reasonable to think that current real-world technology is available as well? Or would it be more prudent to not make any assumptions about the technological advances of that period?
Sorry for being longwinded. Hopefully, it's not a stupid question.

I also tried looking into skin conditions that cause skin darkening, but no dice. (Or maybe my Google-fu skills just suck.)

For that we would have to have in-canon proof. Unless it's shown then it should still be considered the same technology. If it gets shown in some flashback with Rum that they had "old-type" technology then we'd go with that.
