Ardashir Bābakān-e Osman

Ardashir Bābakān-e Osman (born in Raspur, 1665) is a Hurmu nobleman and politician, and is the present Senator of the Lakes (1690– ) as well as Minister for Policing and Security in the Cabinet of Daniyal al-Osman. He is affiliated with the senatorial Humanist list and the political party Coalition for Democratic Humanism.

The son of then Kūruš Artashata, Khanzada of Raspur (b. 1642), since 1674 known as Dāryuš Shah, Khan of Raspur, and Azardokht al-Osman, grand vizier of Raspur, Bābakān, as he was known within the family, had a childhood marked by privilege. Peroz, an elder sibling, was stillborn. Thus it was expected that he would follow in his father's footsteps and act as Khanzada (crown prince) of Raspur, a protectorate of Constancia. He has a younger twin brother, Jamshid. On the urging of both their father and the Constancian Autokrator, Jaime Augustin Joaquin Primo de Aguilar, Bābakān and Jamshid were dispatched once they had reached adulthood to Hurmu to represent his sovereigns at the formation of the new Hurmu state. Once Hurmu had been established as an independent and sovereign state, Bābakān was 25 years old. Both he and Jamshid was elected by his fellow humanists in the Order of the Holy Lakes to the Senate. His distant cousin, Daniyal al-Osman, became the prime minister and appointed Bābakān to the cabinet too. As such, Bābakān is one of the more powerful people in Hurmu.

Neither he nor Jamshid have established families of their own, but it is expected that they will both reside in Hurmu permanently. As twins, they share a household in Huyenkula. Ardashir was re-elected to the Senate in 1695 but Jamshid lost his seat in the same election.
