Khosrau is the main character of the Bukhara scenario in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten, where he appears as a playable unit. In the original version, he is controlled by the player from the start, but in the Definitive Edition, Khosrau arrives with several War Elephants at a later stage, after the player has built a base and advanced to the Imperial Age. Khosrau is not required to survive to win the scenario in either version, and if killed he will be stated to have been just wounded.
In-game, he is an Elite Elephant Archer hero unit. He is also available in the Scenario Editor. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate hit points. As a cavalry archer, he is affected by all technologies that affect them.
