==Summary==
The Prince is the primary protagonist in the Sands of Time Trilogy. In The Sands of Time, young and arrogant, the Prince discovers the Dagger of Time and claims it as the ultimate prize. When he is tricked by the Vizier into releasing the Sands of Time, he allies himself with the Princess Farah of India to recapture the Sands. The Forgotten Sands sees the Prince using the experience of his previous adventure against the Sand Army and their leader, Ratash, again with the help of an aid named Razia, a Djinn. Warrior Within and The Two Thrones find the Prince on a dark path when he becomes the target of the Dahaka, the Guardian of Time, and the road of redemption when he seeks to avenge his city of Babylon when it falls under siege from the Scythians and a resurrected Vizier, where he once again allies himself with Farah.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Unknown; he is only ever referred to as the "Prince"
Origin: Prince of Persia
Gender: Male
Age: 20 during the events of the first game. 27 during the events of Warrior Within and the Two Thrones (Warrior Within takes place 7 years after the first game, with The Two Thrones taking a few weeks after)
Classification: Human, the son of King Sharaman of Persia, Sand Wraith, Creator of the Sands of Time (Alternate timeline)
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Superhuman Speed, Acrobatics, Stealth Mastery (As seen in The Two Thrones), Expert Martial Artist, Weapon Mastery (Swords), Magic, Time Manipulation and Precognition (Can slow, freeze, stop, rewind time up to ten seconds and have visions of possible futures with the Dagger of Time. Can also slow down and stop time with the Djinn Power of Flow for much longer, while the Medallion of Time retains the ability to slow down and rewind time. After discarding both the Dagger and Medallion, he was still capable of having prophetic dreams, one such dream he had after making love with Kaileena showed Babylon in ruins, the return of the Vizier and the emergence of his dark self, foreshadowing the events of The Two Thrones), Sand Manipulation, Teleportation (Via the Power of Haste and the Power of Flight, the Prince can instantaneously move from one opponent to the next), Statistics Amplification (Via the Medallion of Time, he managed to increase his overall health and gain access to the Ravages of Time, which increases his speed significantly), Explosion Manipulation (Via Breath, Wind, and Cyclone of Fate), Elemental Manipulation (Via Djinn's abilities. Power of Flow and Ice Blast both grant him Water Manipulation and Ice Manipulation, being able to freeze waterfalls, pipe drainages for acrobatic purposes and to freeze enemies or to impale them on ice spikes. Power of Memory/Earth Recall grants him Earth Manipulation, which allows him to rebuild old buildings brought to ruin, and Stone Armor surrounds his body in a stone armor to stave off further damage. Whirlwind grants him Air Manipulation and BFR, allowing him to create powerful gusts of wind to send enemies flying away from the battlefield and to never return. Trail of Flame grants him Fire Manipulation, which leaves behind fire trails to burn his enemies to a crisp), Regeneration (Low, can heal from severe cut wounds quickly without medical aid, but they leave behind scars), Immortality (Type 1), Transformation (Into the Dark Prince), Resistance to Corruption (Type 1) (Razia granted multiple powers of the Djinn to the Prince, which kept him shielded from the Djinn Seal's corruptive abilities. In addition, repeated usage of the Sand's powers eventually granted him a sort of resistance to the Sand's corruption. With the King's sword, he managed to gain enough willpower on his own and resist the Dark Prince's inner corruption and ultimately cast him out, enhancing his resistance even further) and Petrification (The Djinn seal also prevents its user from being turned into a statue due to Ratash's capabilities)
Attack Potency: Large Building level (Easily defeated Ratash, who in his first form alone can easily destroy massive floors and ceilings with a single blast while holding back. Later fought against and defeated his brother Malik, who after being possessed by Ratash, became even stronger and casually destroyed an even bigger floor just by powering up. With the Djinn Sword, he was able to contend against Ratash's final form, which could easily destroy gigantic towers just by moving. He can easily trade blows with those who can harm him. Can easily damage gigantic monsters like Klompa, who is large enough to dwarf Babylon's already-massive buildings and whose boots alone completely dwarf the Prince in size. Killed Zurvan who casually busted a massive bridge with a single blast and ruined the roof of the Tower of Babel with his powers, can casually swing his sword so hard that he smashes walls and other similar barriers, and can even casually smash boulders)
Speed: Superhuman (Has outpaced the Dahaka on a multitude of occasions and is extremely agile, being able to run on walls as well. Can easily keep up with highly-trained Scythian hunting dogs and Sand dogs, which are considerably larger and more powerful than real-life hunting dogs) with Supersonic+ combat speed, short-burst speed and reactions (Can easily swat aside arrows in front of his face. Also capable of rolling away from swifter mechanical arrows at similar ranges), far higher with Ravages of Time (Can speedblitz virtually all enemies he encounters)
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Can easily move around massive stone blocks and wooden pillars on his lonesome. As the Dark Prince, he can easily yank out massive stone blocks with his Daggertail whip, and they are both the one and the same person)
Striking Strength: Large Building level
Durability: Large Building level (Can take multiple attacks from Ratash, and later traded blows with his brother Malik, who while being possessed by Ratash, easily decimated a floor beneath him that massively dwarfed the Prince in size, simply by powering up, also took full-powered punches from Ratash's final form, who was now large enough to topple massive towers just by moving alone. Can tank attacks from the Dahaka and the Dark Prince. Also survived Klompa's stomps and attacks, with Klompa himself being large enough to completely dwarf the Prince and being the size of Babylon's already large buildings. Survived getting blasted by Zurvan which was powerful enough to destroy the bridge beneath him and took no damage at all, eventually fighting him and winning), higher with Stone Armor
Stamina: Superhuman (Can go on fighting for days even without sleeping and eating. Spent 7 years on the run from the Dahaka with little food or rest due to his constant fear of dying at the Dahaka's hands)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically; Extended Melee Range with weapons, Tens of Meters with powers
Standard Equipment: The Dagger of Time, Medallion of Time, the Daggertail whip, various sets of swords (With his most significant ones being the Sword of the Enlightened King, the Djinn Sword used to kill Ratash and later left back at Rekem, The Scorpion Sword, The Water Sword used to kill the Dahaka, and finally, the King's Sword, which originally belonged to his late father King Sharaman of Persia, used to kill Zurvan)
Intelligence: Expert at predicting enemies' attacks, is a well versed puzzle solver.
Weaknesses: The Prince cannot make use of his Time-based powers without the Sands of Time readily available (This weakness is non-existent with his Elemental Powers), and can only rewind it back to a certain amount without the aid of the Hourglass. Recall only works on one structure at a time. With the Dagger, the Prince must stab his enemies in order to freeze them in time (The Power of Haste, which also stops time, does not have this weakness, and can be activated at any given time without requiring body contact). Both his Sand powers and Elemental powers need a recharge time to be usable again, and some of them require a certain amount of Sand Tanks to activate. With the Mask of the Wraith, his health will rapidly keep draining until he kills his other self in order to be able to remove it. As the Dark Prince, his health will rapidly drain unless he gets to a water source or absorbs sand from his enemies. Can be manipulated emotionally and has feelings for his family and Farah. Becomes significantly more arrogant, hot-tempered, aggressive and restless during the events of Warrior Within, due to the Dahaka being after his life for seven years straight, all while having witnessed both the gruesome deaths of his mentor and mother during that timeframe.
Other Weapons:
*Sword of the Enlightened Warrior: The Sword of the Enlightened Warrior is a deadly weapon that will destroy any sand creature in one hit, killing them even without the Dagger of Time.
*Teddy Bear: This weapon is pretty weak with its attacks but it heals the Prince with each hit he delivers on his enemies. It is indestructible.
*Medallion of Time: In possession of the Medallion from the past, the Prince has the ability to control and absorb the Sands of Time similar to the Dagger of Time.
*Scorpion Sword: A powerful sword found deep within the depths of the Fortress of Time, the Scorpion Sword is the Prince's final weapon in Warrior Within if he does not interact with all of the Upgrade Pedestals, and is used to fight against and defeat Kaileena. It is presumably kept after the end of Warrior Within in the "bad" ending.
*Water Sword: The Water Sword is the strongest of the Prince's main swords wielded during The Warrior Within, and the second strongest weapon altogether. When the Water Sword is near water, the sword glows blue as it increases in power. It is the only weapon capable of killing the Dahaka.
*Djinn Sword: The Djinn Sword is a sword created by the powers of tribes of Djinn in an effort to destroy the Sand Army created by Ratash. When used against the Sand Army, the sword can kill most enemies among their ranks in one strike. When imbued with the power of another Djinn, it can kill another Djinn.
*Flamingo: A light weapon that strikes fast and hard. It deals twice the damage while counter-attacking and is indestructible. With one hit, it knocks down enemies, leaving them vulnerable, and also knocks them down when thrown.
*White Glove: It is pretty weak but will do two times the damage while counter-attacking and is indestructible. This weapon knocks down enemies in one hit and will knock down enemies if thrown at them much the Flamingo.
*Light Sword: This sword is the Prince's strongest weapon in The Warrior Within, as well as being the strongest secondary weapon, being approximately 2.5x stronger than the Water Sword. It is unbreakable, bears an eerie, glowing light, and is exceedingly powerful, but damages the Prince as well with every strike.
*Mask of the Wraith: The Mask of the Wraith has the ability to transform its user into the Sand Wraith, an identity that becomes separate from their original selves, though they maintain everything that makes them who they are. It allows the wearer to exist at the same time with their past selves, effectively forming a doppleganger. It does restore low reserves of the Sands of Time he mask cannot be removed unless the user's "other" self dies so that the wearer of the mask takes his place in the timeline.
*King's Sword: After finding his father's corpse in the Tower of Babel's Catacombs, the Prince reclaims his father's legendary, enchanted sword, which can kill all enemies after this point save the Vizier and Dark Prince in one hit. It cannot be broken or thrown away, and like the Water Sword, Scorpion Sword, and Sword of the Enlightened Warrior before it, can break through walls. It is so powerful, in fact, that merely holding it can generate light, and its presence is capable of banishing the Dark Prince from the Prince's mind. It is his final weapon in the series, after the Dagger of Time is reclaimed by Kaileena.
