Xerxes and his heir (also named Darius) were both murdered in 465 B.C. as a result of a plot by Artabanus, the commander of the palace guard. While we know nothing of their student-teacher relationship, he must have taught Darius the Rules and the skills that would enabled him to survive in the Game, so in that respect he could be considered a friend. The Greek historian, Herodotus, portrayed Xerxes I as headstrong, temperamental, governed by passion, and prone to executing people (even his relatives) on a whim. If he was indeed Darius' first teacher he may have passed some of his autocratic attitudes on to his student. Note: He appeared only as an entry in the Watcher Chronicles CD.
