Andragoras III is Arslan's father and Tahamine is his mother. Arslan is respectful and caring of his parents, referring to them as "Lord Father" and "Lady Mother." His parents, however, do not reciprocate these feelings, and his mother is even more cold and distant to Arslan than she is to her husband, and his father is incredibly strict with him. Arslan is not their biological son, revealed to being adopted as the prince because Andragoras and Tahamine were unable to produce an heir. Since Arslan resembled Tahamine, they believed that could pass him off as their son.
