Leaders

The default male leader of the Persians is Xerxes ("zerk-SEEZ"). Xerxes I (519–465 BC) was the 5th Achaemenid emperor of Persia. He began the conquest of the Greeks contemplated by his father Darius but turned the Spartans at Thermopylae into martyrs, was lured into an naval ambush off Salamis, and finally lost his main army at Plataea. He successfully crushed subsequent revolts in Egypt and Babylonia but was eventually assassinated by a bodyguard.
The default female leader is Scheherezade ("shuh-HAIR-uh-ZAHD"), the heroine storyteller of the medieval Persian romance 1001 Nights. In the story, a king kills each of his virgin brides after a single night in order to avoid infidelity. Scheherezade arranges for her sister to be called in to ask for a story, which she draws out to a cliffhanger just as the sun is rising. She continues this until she has completely exhausted her knowledge of stories, but the king has fallen in love and takes her as his queen.
Persian leaders use the default titles of various governments, except for monarchy and fundamentalism. A Persian king or queen is known as a "shah". A Persian high priest or priestess, like an Arab one, is known as an "ayatollah".
Personality
The Persians are perfectionist.
