He was the son of Rostam, who was an Iranian warrior, and Tahmineh, the daughter of the king of Kingdom of Samangan, a neighboring country. He was slain at a young age by his father Rostam. Rostam only found out he was his son after fatally wounding him in a duel.

Orbit Unlimited is a science fiction novel by American writer Poul Anderson, first published in 1961. Essentially a linked group of short stories, it recounts the colonisation of the planet Rustum, a fictional terrestrial world orbiting Epsilon Eridani, by a group of refugees from an authoritarian planet Earth bearing some resemblance to the historical Pilgrim Fathers.
