By the Renaissance, Darius' remains had been transferred to Santa Maria Novella in Florence, where his body lay with an Assassin Seal that provided access to the hidden armor of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. In 1478, his sarcophagus was opened by Ezio Auditore, who took the Seal and later obtained the armor.^[1]

A statue of Darius was also erected sometime before 1476 in the sanctuary beneath the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni.^[1]

Darius was the first known user of the Hidden Blade.
