Olaf Lhosteros is a quest character in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Biography[]

Olaf Lhosteros was a doctor in Persepolis working for Queen Thomyris herself. Olaf delivered all three sons of Thomyris. Even though Olaf was tasked with the well-being of the boys, he failed in that. The first son succumbed to what seemed like poisoning at the age of 12. The second son fell from the ramparts when he was 9. Olaf looked after the boy for three days before he passed away. Olaf is however perplexed by the seeming replacement of the third son. The next day after his birth the boy's eyes and body-build were different. Olaf brought his concerns to the Queen, but she dismissed him. When Olaf was unable to let this go, and pushed further, Thomyris had him exiled into Mount Qaf.[1]

The Lost Crown[]

Years later, Sargon approaches the hermit in an isolated part of the Upper City. The man cryptically comments that he must have held Sargon when he was an infant, and claims to recognize his eyes. He grants The Impossible Climb side quest, challenging Sargon to retrieve three bells. After he has completed the task, the hermit parts with knowledge of Thomyris' sons and an abbreviated version of his history. He decides to remain in his room in Mount Qaf until someone else comes to undertake his challenge.[2]
