History[]
King Hammurabi was supposedly a just ruler who valued nation's prosperity above personal interests. King Hammurabi honored Ashur and esteemed his noble services to Akkad. During the confrontation between Ashur and Sargon in the Arena, he intervened and turned down the charges against Ashur, Mathayus and Layla on a sole stipulation that Mathayus will grow up to be a Black Scorpion. King Hammurabi was killed by Sargon (possibly using the same M.O. he (Sargon) did to Ashur), 6 years later, ending his just reign. But; when Mathayus slayed Sargon, Akkadian throne was handed over to Hammurabi's heir, Shalmanesar.
