Shideh (شیده)

Son of Afrasiab, which already sets expectations somewhere between “born into conflict” and “probably shouldn’t be trusted near a peace treaty.”

He fights bravely for Turan in the great Keyanian wars, doing what every epic lineage seems legally required to do: take inherited enmity and turn it into lifelong battlefield employment against Iran. No grand moral pivot, no surprise redemption arc — just consistent, disciplined participation in a centuries-long feud nobody remembers agreeing to, but everyone keeps showing up for anyway.
