Kay Khosrow
کیخسرو
The one king in the poem who knew when to stop.
Siyavash's son, born in Turan to the enemy king's granddaughter, raised among shepherds so that nobody would think him worth killing, and fetched home by Giv after seven years of looking.
He wins the long war and settles the account for his father. Then, at the height of it, with everything in his hand and nothing left that he owes anybody, he divides the kingdom, says goodbye and walks up into the mountains. The Shahnameh is full of kings who cannot let go. It has exactly one who can.
