The Prince fist appears in 1989 in the Prince of Persia game. With time and with new games from the series coming out, more information about The Prince is given. However we can distinguish The Prince from the very early Prince of Persia games and the one that appears in the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time game and later in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Since their stories are completely different we can treat them as two different persons.
Early Prince of Persia games
In the first two games very little information about The Prince is given. In Prince of Persia The Prince (locked in the prison by an evil vizier Jaffar) needs to save his love, the Princess, who stands before a choice - marry Jaffar and give him the rights to the throne or say no and die. She has an hour to decide and so does The Prince to save her. In Prince of Persia 3D The Prince (now an orphan, who never knew his parents) lives on the streets. One day he captures the heart of a Princess and here the story begins.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
The young Prince and his father, persuaded by the Vizier, attack a mighty empire. Their goal is the treasure room in which the Maharaja holds a magical Hourglass with The Sands of Time. During Princes first battle he finds the treasure room and mystical The Dagger of Time. The Prince keeps the dagger and since it was the price the Vizier wanted for his help, the Vizier decides to take his vengeance. When The Prince and his father visit a friendly sultan, giving him the magical Hourglass as a gift, the Vizier persuades The Prince to open it with his dagger. When The Prince does, all but him, the Vizier and Princess Farah turn into sand demons. The Prince will have to fight his way to the Hourglass and put the sands back to undo what he has done.
In this game The Prince is a young and romantic boy. Feeling guilty and stupid, for what he had done to his father and other people, he becomes suspicious and stops to trust anyone.
An important part of the game is The Princes romance with Farah. As we know from what he says to himself during the game, he becomes more and more attracted to her since she's beautiful, smart and comes from a royal family. The romance however ends when The Prince puts the sands back into the Hourglass and turns back all that have happened.
