They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me The Immortals. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |
The Immortals (died 420s BCE) were twin Persian brothers who served as joint Magi of the Order of Dominion branch of the Order of the Ancients, alongside Gergis.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Known for their potent skills and similarity in combat, the brothers were noted to be seemingly unbeatable and untouchable warriors. It was for this reason that they were chosen by the Order of Dominion's leader Amorges to serve as his personal enforcers.[1]
At some point in the 420s BCE, the brothers were deployed by Amorges with the rest of the branch to Achaia in Greece to hunt down the Spartan misthios Kassandra, Darius, and Natakas. Along with Amorges, the Immortals launched an attack on the village of Dyme, seeking to draw out their targets.[2]
They succeeded in drawing out Darius and almost killed him before being stopped by Kassandra's arrival. Despite outnumbering the misthios with their Persian guards, the Immortals were ultimately defeated and killed.[2] Later on, their branch's fellow Magus Gergis erected a memorial for the brothers alongside ones for Pactyas and Phila on a small hill near Pedasos Camp in Messenia.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Immortals was the name given by the Greek historian Herodotos to an elite armed infantry unit of the Achaemenid Empire, serving the roles of both the imperial guard and standing army. These soldiers were dubbed the Immortals because it was said that they would never allow their numbers to drop below 10,000 men, and no Greek reportedly saw one of these men dead on the battlefield.[3]
