Name a warrior from the personal guard of the Persian king.

Such a warrior was called immortal. Each Persian king had a personal guard or guard, which was called – “immortals”. This guard consisted of the most experienced and well-armed fighters. We can say that the immortals were the most combat-ready part of the Persian troops. True, the Persian king himself used his guard only in extreme need. Basically, at the very beginning of the battle, other parts of the army were brought into battle.
