Darius was a member of the Persian Brotherhood of Assassins during the Achaemenid Dynasty.
In the 5th century BCE, the Templars supported the reigns and conquests of the Achaemenid kings Darius I and his son Xerxes I.[1] Using a newly-created weapon named the hidden blade, which would later become the Assassins' iconic weapon, Darius personally assassinated King Xerxes I.[2]
By the Renaissance, Darius' remains were transferred to the Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy, where his body lay with an Assassin Seal needed to get access to the armor of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad hidden inside the sanctuary in Monteriggioni. In 1478, his sarcophagus was opened by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who took the Seal and later obtained the armor.[2]
