Best Answer

He was king of Persia. He established the Persian Empire by capturing the Middle East and Central Asia.

He also had a son Cambyses who added Egypt and Libya to the empire and a son-in-law Darius I who added Thrace and today's Pakistan to it, both after he was killed busily trying to expand the empire.
