Amorges was a leader of the Order of the Ancients who operated in the Achaemenid Empire during the 5th century BCE.

A former member of the Persian elite and a close friend of Darius, formerly known as Artabanus, Amorges joined the Order and prevented Darius' assassination of King Artaxerxes I, the son of Xerxes I whom Darius had previously assassinated. After Darius was branded a traitor and forced to flee Persia with his family, Amorges sent a branch of the Order to track him down and eliminate him.

Biography

Amorges was a member of the Persian elite alongside Artabanus and Pactyas who served during the reign of Xerxes I of Persia. At some point, they learned the existence of the Order of the Ancients, a secret and powerful organization who backed and supported Xerxes and the previous emperors. Opposing the King's tyranny and the organizations corruption, Amorges and Darius secretly formed a small group intending to assassinate Xerxes. They successfully did so in 465 BCE, with Darius personally assassinating the Emperor with a Hidden Blade.[1]

With Xerxes' death, his son Artaxerxes ascended the throne. Fearing that he was also manipulated by the Ancients, Darius plotted his assassination soon after. Amorges, however, opposed his decision, believing that the Emperor was still young and they should wait until the evidence suffices that shows his corruption. Nevertheless, Darius went ahead with his plot and infiltrated the palace at night. Amorges, disapproved of Darius' beliefs, joined the Order himself and confronted Darius outside the palace door. Clashing with each other, Amorges called for the guards, an act which branded Darius as a traitor to the Empire. As such, Darius was thus forced to flee Persia with his family.[1]

Later at some point, Amorges rose to become a leader of the Order in his own right and dispatched Pactyas, who similarly joined the Order, to led a branch to hunt down Darius and his family.[1]
