Kishward was a Marzbān of Pars and later Ērān. He was also known as Tahir, the Twin-Blade General.
History[]
He was born in a distinguished knight family. The family has a long history of serving the royal family from the beginning and among them were Marzbāns and Ērāns.
When he was a commander of 1000 cavalry, he was appointed as a guardian of the west border. During the time, he gained the reputation of a skilled swordsman and a great commander, and feared by the people of Misr. When he was 27, he was ordered to guard the east border at Peshawar instead as Misr was afraid of him and requested to remove him from the west border when Pars and Misr concluded a truce.
After Arslan's enthronement, he was appointed Ērān.
