The Prince is the name given to a group of fictional characters who act as the main protagonists of the Prince of Persia franchise, originally created by Jordan Mechner and currently owned by Ubisoft. Beginning with the original game in 1989, there have been several distinct Prince characters, all sharing general traits. The most prominent version was introduced in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) and featured in several other games set within the same continuity. In the 2008 reboot, the Prince is not from a royal family, but was planned to earn his title during the course of his journey. Other versions of the Prince have appeared in related media, most prominently the character Dastan in the 2010 Prince of Persia film, portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal.
