The Dahaka (also known as the Guardian of Time) is an antagonist in Battles of Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The guardian of the timeline, he appears only when the timeline is disrupted. It is the Dahaka's duty to make sure that the Prince meets his death to restore the timeline.
Trivia:
1. Dahaka's horns resemblances the "infinity" sign, reassuring its connection with the time itself.
2. The Old Man has a considerable knowledge about the creature, most likely because of his mystic nature and arts he masters.
3. When the Prince fights Kaileena for the first time, she says: "I had hoped the Dahaka would kill you.", but when he fights her for the second time with the Water Sword and the Dahaka appears, Kaileena seems to have never seen its appearance before, and has no idea why the Dahaka is after her (as now she doesn't know the Prince has already fought against her before).
4. The Dahaka may have very likely been based on a character from Iranian mythology known as Aži Dahāka.
5. The Dahaka speaks in reverse. When the Dahaka speaks, if time is turned back, its sentences can be understood.
