About Bahram
Bahram is an Iranian hero in Shahnameh, the national epic of Greater Iran. He is the son of Goudarz and brother of Rohham, Giv and Hojir. In the story of Siavash, he and Zange-ye Shavaran are Siavash's counselors. They unsuccessfully try to convince Siavash not to go to Turan. When Siavash goes to Turan and abandons the Iranian army, Bahram is put in command of the Iranian army until the arrival of Tous. His most important adventure is in the story of Farud, where he fights against the Turanian army along with other Iranian heroes. When the Iranian army is marching towards Turan, they encounter Farud, who along with Tokhar (تُخوار) is standing on a mountain. Tous, the spahbed of the Iranian army does not know Farud and thinks that he is a Turanian foe. He sends Bahram to go there and kill both of them. When Bahram arrives, Farud introduces himself and says that he is the son of Siavash and wants to avenge Afrasiab. Bahram comes back to Tous and tells him that they are not enemies and instead they want to join the Iranian army to fight against Afrasiab. Tous, however, does not believe this and orders to kill Farud. Bahram unsuccessfully tries to restrain Tous and the Iranians from killing Farud and his companion. However, Farud was eventually slain by Rohham and Bizhan.
