Arash the Archer (Persian: آرش کمانگیر) is a heroic archer-figure of Iranian oral tradition and folklore.
The basic story of the bowman runs as follows: In a war between the Iranians and the non-Iranians (in post-Sassanid tradition frequently identified with the Turanians) over the "royal glory" (khwarrah), the General Afrasiab has surrounded the forces of the righteous Manuchehr, and the two sides agree to make peace. Both reach an agreement that whatever land falls within the range of a bow-shot shall be returned to the Manuchehr and the Iranians, and the rest should then fall to Afraisab and the Aniranians. An angel (in al-Biruni it is 'Esfandaramad', i.e. the Amesha Spenta Spenta Armaiti, MP Spendarmad) instructs Manuchehr to construct a special bow and arrow, and Arash is asked to be the archer. Arash then fires the specially-prepared arrow at dawn, which then traveled a great distance (see below) before finally landing and so marking the future border between the Iranians and the Aniranians.

Plot: When Arash was still a child, his family moved to Canada from Afghanistan in the 1980's. They settled in Vancouver where his father Mr. Matin opened a tailor shop. Hoping to return to his homeland once the Soviet war was finished, Mr. Matin expended much effort to pass on his culture to Arash. The young boy, however, deemed the move permanent and did not show much interest in learning Farsi, his father's native language. The family never did move back to Afghanistan. More than twenty years later, Mr. Matin has passed away and Arash is still struggling with his identity trying to find the missing pieces.
