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
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 were chosen by the Order 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 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 were almost able to kill 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
The Immortals was the name that Herodotos gave 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]
