"All those things like reasons and plans, those bothersome stuff, should be left for future historians to find a reason to give me. Heroes like us only need to obey our hearts’ desire, and gallop along the battlefield with our boiling blood!"

- This is so fuckdamn true to Alexander the Great.
Historians actually don't even know why he suddenly decided to conquer the world.

Interesting. Never knew that Katawa Shoujo reject conquered that much.

I liked how he took this one fortress, though. He promised no blood would be spilled if the fort surrendered. Knowing they had no chance, the defenders put them to his mercy, where he proceeded to bury all of them alive. What a dick.

Interestingly enough, despite people saying that Alexander = Sandnigger's Iskander, their Iskander is more likely to be Cyrus the Great, not Alexander. The confusion seems to arise from how Alexander and Iskander sounds way too similar.

BTW, Iskander in sandnigger's language means something like "Two horns holder", probably referring to the control over both the land of the West and the East. Alexander does fit this description, but so does Cyrus. And apparently one of the monument dedicated to Cyrus depicts him wearing a helmet with two horns.

Just a random trivia, if it's even true.

"On the afternoon of June 11, 323 BC, Alexander died in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. He was just one month short of attaining 33 years of age. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great#Death

So he looks maybe 5 years older than he should be.

same with king Arthur, he's based on a number of historical figures but the important thing is his legend.
He is named Iskandar because Persia is where he was worshipped the most and where his cult as a supernatural being originated from (the Two Horns were supposed to be an omen of vistory, much like Genghis Khan's blood clot). The legend surrounding him counts more than history, probably.
