Biography

Past

Taken in by Anahita as a young orphan, Sargon was raised with strict military training, to become a deadly weapon to the Persian empire. Today, trembling cries of 'the Rashabar' precede him in battle. Anahita also gifted Sargon his twin swords named Qays & Layla when he joined the Immortals. Sargon is the youngest of the Immortals, but despite this is an excellent fighter.

The Lost Crown

Sargon is at Persepolis when it is besieged by the Kushan. He and his fellow Immortals, under Anahita's direction, launch a counter-attack against the invaders. After the initial charge, Sargon notices that Anahita has been wounded. She tells him not to worry about her, to keep fighting while she attends to the wounded. Sargon later defeats the Kushan general Uvishkain a duel, which breaks the Kushan siege (at least temporarily).

The Immortals enter the Citadel, only to find themselves trapped inside due to a time anomaly. They split up to search for Anahita, and Sargon quickly encounters various undead soldiers and monsters, as well as other humans trapped in the Citadel who provide him aid. He also begins to find and recover the Simurgh's feathers, each of them granting him magical abilities and a portion of the god's power. Sargon is able to catch up to Anahita and save Ghassan, only for the Immortals' leader, Vahram, to intervene and kill the prince, revealing himself as the true culprit intending to usurp Thomyris. Sargon buys time for Anahita to escape, but is defeated by Vahram's mastery of time magic and thrown from a cliff. Sargon manages to survive the fall and comes across a mysterious old man named Alkara who informs him that there is a chance to reverse time and save Ghassan, but it requires making a bargain with the evil snake god Azhdaha. Azhdaha instructs Sargon to gain the blessing of the four Celestial Guardians. He also encounters Anahita, who claims she kidnapped Ghassan on Thomyris' orders. Meanwhile, Vahram lies to the rest of the Immortals, claiming Sargon killed Ghassan and convinces most of them to back his claim to the throne. Sargon is then forced to kill several of his former Immortal comrades.

After securing the favor of the Celestial Guardians, Sargon is sent back in time and thwarts Vahram's attempt to murder Ghassan, but Anahita dies protecting Sargon in the process. Vahram then admits he has been collecting Simurgh's feathers as well and believes only he is worthy to possess them, and he battles Sargon. As their powers clash, Sargon catches a glimpse of Vahram's past and learns that he is actually the long lost son of King Darius, who was assassinated by Thomyris, and her usurping the throne without the Simurgh's blessing is what has caused Persia's 30 years of decline. Ghassan informs Sargon that Vahram is likely seeking the Heart of the Simurgh so that he can merge with it and take the Simurgh's full power.

Sargon pursues Vahram, but is unable to stop him from merging with the Heart and ascending to godhood. Sargon is then contacted by the spirit of the Simurgh, who assures him that he still has the power to defeat and save Vahram from himself. Sargon once again confronts Vahram and after a protracted battle, is finally able to defeat him. Vahram comes to realize the folly of trying to claim a god's power, and sacrifices himself to summon the Simurgh back. With the Simurgh returned, Sargon and Ghassan return to Persepolis as heroes. However, knowing the truth about his mother, Ghassan abdicates his position while Sargon reveals Thomyris murdered Darius to the entire royal court. As Sargon leaves the capital, the remaining Immortals assure him that they will take care of a younger version of Vahram which was created by the Mount's time anomaly and escaped with them.
