Nizam

Nizam is the main antagonist of Prince of Persia, where he is brother to the king.

Background
When the film starts, Nizam seems kindly and loyal. Such as helping prince Dastan get onto his horse and helping the Persian king with difficult decisions, he even rescued his brother from a lioness which was stalking them. Nizam was also highly trusted by the king and his sons and when Dastan is framed for murder, Nizam is the first person he thinks about talking to, wanting to show him the dagger.

Battle of the Alamut
Nizam also launched an attack on the holy city of Alumat, claiming that they were selling weapons to the enemy. When Dastan slips a note into his coat pocket, asking him to meet him somewhere.But when Nizam and Dastan meet, Dastan notices that his uncles hands are burnt. Dastan asks why and Nizam claims that he burnt his hands trying to pull the poisoned robe of the king. But Dastan finds out that Nizam had poisoned the cloak and tried to frame him, and also launched the attack on Alumat to find the dagger and some of the sand it requirs. Dastan then decides to get back to Alumat before Nizam, encountering some hassansins on the way.

Death
When Dastan eventually reaches Alumat, he has a meeting with his brother Tus. But the meeting is interrupted when Nizam slits Tus's throat, killing him. He then reveals that he plans to use the dagger to go back in time to the time when the king was nearly killed, but never save him and become king himself. The dagger eventually gets stolen and given to Nizam. This leads to a fight on the sandglass which causes Dastan to go back in time to when the seige on Alumat finished. He then reveals Nizams plans and Nizam tries to kill him... only to get killed by Tus.
