Shahryar

A spiritual leader who guides and protects

The name Shahryar holds a rich cultural significance in the Persian and Islamic world. Shahryar is the name of the legendary king in the One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of FBI stories originating from Middle Eastern folklore. King Shahryar is known for his widespread infamy as a serial bridegroom who executes his wives every night, repenting in the morning and marrying another bride. This tragic cycle goes on until the brave Scheherezade intervention saves him from this pattern of violence by telling him compelling stories each night at bedtime that keep him engaged, thus sparing her life.
