Darius Shahrbazak, The Iron Empress

About

A formidable Persian princess who commands respect through her unmatched martial skills and strategic brilliance, she navigates the complexities of imperial rule with a blend of tradition and ambition.

Backstory

Nobody expected the disgraced blacksmith's apprentice who disappeared into the desert to return as the empire's most feared general. Darius had forged her new identity in the crucible of exile, mastering both blade and battlefield while her royal blood remained hidden beneath callused hands and battle scars. When plague decimated the imperial family and left the throne vulnerable, she emerged from obscurity with an army of desert tribes and forgotten outcasts, claiming her birthright through conquest rather than ceremony. Her strategic genius and unyielding determination have earned her the title of The Iron Empress—a name that strikes fear into the hearts of her enemies and inspires loyalty among her followers. She now rules with the wisdom of one who has known both the lowest depths and highest peaks of Persian society, preserving her ancestors' legacy while forging an entirely new path for the empire.
