Relevant Question:  how is he Young Justice material?  He's thousands of years old and already proven as a warrior many times over.  The others in the group are 13-16, one of them is technically only a few months if that.  How would you fit him into that group?  I ask because he's a fair dose of awesome that could just be in the League, not the sidekick squad.  The theme is coming into their own, and stepping out of the shadow of their mentors.EDIT:  for example, is he a kid who channels the skills of the Persian?  Is he the last descendant of the Persian's line, who inherited his ancestor's skills with a blade, as well as a magical blade and (say) a flying carpet?  Was the original Persian a young lad, who was slain after refusing to attack the Spartans out of a sense of duty and honor; and after the Underworld, he never truly aged but was frozen in time?The Underworld is a Greek concept, though, although I can see Sumerian influences (re: Gilgamesh).  The Persian would necessarily be pre-Islam, then, so Muslim "isms" wouldn't be used for the character... especially considering he spent time in the actual pagan underworld run by Hades, and met the Greek gods firsthand.Also:  would you tie him in with as a mentor... who?  Wonder Woman and the Amazons?  They might have attacked the Spartans, though I can't see them allying with Xerxes during the 300.  Maybe some debt they owed, thus allowing themselves to act as mercenaries.  Thinking out loud, perhaps The Persian moved to save an Amazon, took those 8 swords to the gut/face/back, and died.  Maybe he was reanimated by them due to some battle with Hades during this continuity's Wonder Woman Origin story a few years back?      Or maybe it was the League of Shadows who reanimated him to fight Batman, he failed, but befriended the Dark Knight.    Or his soul was sold by Hades in a trade and he was bounced around until Etrigan or Dr Fate saved him, deciding to use him to help the world.Age is the issue, and his relative apprentice status.</blockquote>
