Artabanus of Persia (or Artabanus the Hyrcanian; Ancient Greek: Ἀρτάβανος) was a Persian political figure during the Achaemenid dynasty who was reportedly Regent of Persia for a few months (465 BC – 464 BC). The order of events remains uncertain but Xerxes and Darius certainly left the throne vacant. Artabanus is occasionally listed among the Kings of the Achaemenid dynasty though he was not related to them. A character based on the historical Artabanus appears in the Assassin's Creed series numerous times under the alias "Darius". He personally assassinated King Xerxes like his historical counterpart and namesake, using a newly created weapon, which is considered to be the first known usage of the Hidden Blade in series lore.
