A capable general.

That was something that some stories did not describe him as.

Yet he was a man with many things. It was only natural then that he gained things that he did not originally have. Sporting the armor that was the creation of the man of the era of electricity, and sporting the various sacks and vials of the dreaded poison that laid down even the greatest of heroes. What he held was a bounty indeed for any hero, but it was simply a small part of the hoard that would become the power of Persia. 

That power, for now was partially on loan. The man beside him was clever, but he was not Iskander. No, despite acting now as a general with the help of Darius, this man was not Iskander.

An ally, a general under his control. He was not a enemy worth facing, an enemy worth devoting one’s existence towards. The hero Odysseus was indeed one of the most celebrated and famous of the modern era. Together they marched upon the swamp, and as they rode, Darius on his elephant of the dead, looking towards the Archer from time to time to consult him wordlessly as though playing at the role of a leader while being a berserker he found that it was a great hero at his side. A hero certainly on the level of [b]him[/b]

Yet.

He was so incredibly different. The two men were both clever, and masters of war. Yet they were heroes of a different cloth, birds of a different feather. Even if Odysseus were to be the greatest military tactician in existence, Darius would not see him as a great foe.

For he did not have that drive, that burning drive like that one man.

Would he see Iskander? Would he see that drive?

In his madness, the drive and Iskander were one and the same. Similar to that knight who saw saint and knight as the same individual, the same soul.

Oh Iskander, oh Iskander. Who would be Iskander?

He felt the appearance of a servant as a master called their partner back with a command seal.

Was it you? Iskander!
