Biography[edit | edit source]

The son of Artaxerxes I, Darius was tasked by Amorges, the leader of the Order of the Ancients, to look after Elpidios, the son of the misthios Kassandra, whom he had kidnapped. After Amorges' eventual defeat, he revealed Elpidios' whereabouts to Kassandra and his old friend Artabanus, who now operated under the name of "Darius".[1]

On a small island south of Messenia, Darius handed over the baby to Kassandra before being greeted by Artabanus. After Darius introduced himself as Artaxerxes I's son, Artabanus, who had tried and failed to assassinate Artaxerxes decades prior, claimed that he had met his father a long time ago. He then asked Darius to keep Persia safe, stating that it was Artaxerxes' legacy.[1]
