Lethal, cunning, and discreet, Darius is considered by some to be the most revolutionary and iconic Assassin in history, being the inventor of the Assassins' staple weapon of choice, the hidden blade. Using his undercover killing machine, Darius managed to assassinate King Xerxes I of the Templar Persian Empire. This is the third skin of my Assassins of the World series, and the second skin in my Assassin Legends series, consisting of the six assassins whose statues lie in the sanctuary beneath Monteriggioni. I figured I would continue using the shading technique that I used on Amunet, since it worked out so well! I'd love to hear your thoughts, and, as always, don't forget to diamond, subscribe, and favorite for more!
"Darius was a member of the Persian branch of the Assassin Order during the Achaemenid Dynasty.
In the 5th century BCE, the Templars supported the reigns and conquests of the Achaemenid kings Darius I and his son Xerxes I. Using a newly-created weapon named the hidden blade, which would later become the Assassins' iconic weapon, Darius personally assassinated King Xerxes I.
By the Renaissance, Darius' remains were transferred to the Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy, where his body lay with an Assassin Seal needed to get access to the armor of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad hidden inside the sanctuary in Monteriggioni. In 1478, his sarcophagus was opened by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who took the Seal and later obtained the armor."
