Iranian nobleman from the
House of Suren. He was the son of Mardanshah, the
padhuspan of Nemroz, who was later executed by the orders of the
Sasanian king
Khosrau II (r. 590-628). In 628, Khosrau was overthrown by his son
Kavadh II (r. 628), and was taken to prison, where he was shortly executed by Mihr Hormozd who sought to avenge his father's death. However, after the execution, Kavadh had Mihr Hormizd killed.
