Artaxerxes spread the lie that Darius had succeeded, in order to safely escape Persia. Darius utilized poison to assassinate his target though it only led to the man to lose his sight rendering the assassination attempt unsuccessful. Worrying for the safety of his family, he fled Persia with them, as the Order of the Ancients fiercely pursued them, leading him to adopt the name DariusĪrtabanus, now known as Darius, came across another opportunity to assassinate Artaxerxes I, as he was hired by the king’s brother, Hystaspes, to assassinate the Artaxerexes I.
As a result, Artabanus was branded a traitor. Eventually Amorges encountered Artabanus who called for the guards. However, Amorges, stood against his plans, decideding to join the Order of the Ancients to prevent Artabanus from accomplishing his quest for blood.
Worring that he would be subjugated and manipulated by the Order’s influence, Daris plotted the assassination of Artaxerxes I after he ascended to the throne, as a preemptive measure. Artabanus and his companions, Pactyas and Amorges, stood in opposition to the Persian kings and their tyranny, assassinating King Xerxes I in August of 465 BCE, as Artabanus struck the killing blow utilizing the Hidden Blade marking its first usage in recorded history. The Order of the Ancients aided the sovereignty and conquests of the Achaemenid kings Darius I and his son, Xerxes I throughout the 5th century BCE.
