The Corrupted
The Corrupted are Ahriman's selected soldiers. Each of the four Corrupted were released with the destruction of the tree of life during the beginning events of Prince of Persia, and each takes domain in one of the four sections of the kingdom. Throughout the game, the Prince and Elika must travel through these four domains, and vanquish each Corrupted to heal the land. Each Corrupted was once human, but sold its soul to Ahriman one thousand years before the events of the game, to achieve their life's purpose. Ahriman granted them the means to serve their desires, but twisted those means to serve his own purposes, driving each away from themselves, and towards him. These deals with the devil feature classic human desires, such as power and immortality.

Famous quotes containing the word corrupted:
“Judgement holds in me a magisterial seat, at least it carefully tries to. It lets my feelings go their way, both hatred and friendship, even the friendship I bear myself, without being changed and corrupted by them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law; but ‘tis not so above:
There is no shuffling.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
