Haztaidi Battakwa (born 23 Hunzabi, dead 5 Tigraini) was the crown prince of Batta, and the son of king Tigraini the Great. He was murdered during the fifth year of Tigraini's reign, between eleven and twelve years of age.
==Early life==
From all witness testimonies, Haztaidi was a healthy and strong boy, with a strong natural charisma. He was brave, well-liked and just. From age eight, he was trained in warfare and had a small spear and leopard mantle commissioned by his father.
==Betrothal to a Jashan princess==
Haztaidi was betrothed to the granddaughter of king Muni II of Jasha, as a part of the peace treaty between Jasha and Batta.
==Assassination and Aftermath==
Tigraini decided to assassinate his first-born son out of the fear that Haztaidi would seek to conspire against him. Using a hunting trip as an excuse, Tigraini lured his son out from Batta, then had his throat slit.
The aftermath of the assassination was that the body was dug down unceremoniously in red soil. But the same night, a hyena dug up the body, ate from it, and the following morning, it had been moved before the door of Tigraini's palace.
Tigraini claimed that a hyena had killed his son, but the knife wound on the neck and the silence of the King regarding the hunting trip made it a very obvious lie. The King then declared, without anyone having dared to voice an opposing opinion, that anyone declaring that Tigraini was philocidal would have their throat slit and be buried in the same pit. Then he confessed his murder before the court, and then asked them what had happened. His cousin Gabwayzi answered: "A hyena flew over the boy and ripped off his arm, and he died from blood loss!"
Tigraini then ordered all hyenas in his empire burnt alive.
