Sargon, the protagonist of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, is a character of intrigue and depth. His journey begins as an orphan, taken in by Anahita, who provides him with a strict military upbringing. This training shapes him into a formidable weapon for the Persian empire. His reputation precedes him in battle, with the mere mention of his name, ‘the Rashabar’, sending tremors of fear through his enemies. Anahita bestows upon Sargon a pair of twin swords, Qays & Layla, further enhancing his combat prowess. Despite being the youngest among the Immortals, Sargon’s skill in battle is unparalleled.

In the game, Sargon’s abilities are not limited to his martial prowess. He possesses the agility to jump, slide, and air dash between platforms, making him a versatile character in terms of mobility. His twin blades are not just for show; they are his primary means of defeating enemies. Sargon’s combat style is strategic, relying on well-timed parries to charge his Athra’s Glow. Once fully charged, this allows him to unleash a special ability, adding another layer of depth to the combat mechanics. The narrative of The Lost Crown places Sargon at Persepolis during a siege by the Kushan. Under Anahita’s guidance, Sargon and his fellow Immortals launch a counter-attack against the invaders. In the heat of battle, Sargon notices Anahita’s injury but is urged by her to continue the fight. He later defeats the Kushan general Uvishka in a duel, temporarily breaking the Kushan siege. For his bravery, Queen Thomyris honors Sargon. The plot thickens when Prince Ghassan is kidnapped by Anahita, prompting Sargon and his fellow Immortals to embark on a rescue mission to Mount Qaf.

Throughout the game, Sargon encounters alternate versions of himself in recurring mini-boss fights. These battles essentially pit Sargon against a mirror version of himself, possessing most of his attacks. These alternate Sargons also have Athra Surge attacks, which Sargon can acquire by defeating them. These encounters add a unique twist to the gameplay, challenging players to adapt and strategize against a familiar yet distinct opponent. Sargon’s character in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a blend of depth, versatility, and strategic gameplay. His journey from an orphan to a revered warrior, his unique combat abilities, and his encounters with alternate versions of himself make for an engaging and immersive gaming experience.
