Darius
Darius was a male Persian assassin living during the reign of King Xerxes. He assassinated him with the Hidden Blade, making it the first assassination with the hidden blade. It is possible he is an ancestor of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Desmond Miles.
Trivia
- Darius had all ten fingers, as seen on the picture on the right. Either this was a creation mistake or the hidden blade's design was later changed so that the ring finger needed to be removed.
- Xerxes' father was called Darius. His eldest son and heir to the throne was also named Darius. In real life, Xerxes was murdered by Artabanus, commander of the royal guard with the help of a eunuch named Aspamitres. The prince Darius was supposedly accused of the murder by Artabanus, leading to his death.
- Darius is rumored to have killed Cyrus the Great, the first Emperor of the Persian Empire.
