He is depicted as a powerful and sinister sorcerer and priest of the ancient dark arts, often serving as an antagonist in various stories and adaptations. ThothAmon is traditionally characterized by his mastery of necromancy, forbidden magic, and his loyalty to dark, arcane forces.

His character exemplifies themes of corruption, power, and the peril of unchecked knowledge.

In the narrative context of Howard’s works, ThothAmon is associated with the city of Acheron and often seeks to increase his own influence through the use of dark spells, undead creatures, and ancient relics.
