immortals
They never die
Immortals are beings that cannot die—gods, vampires, elves, and similar figures from mythology and fantasy.
The term extends to people whose fame endures beyond death: Shakespeare is among the literary immortals.
In ancient Persia, the Immortals were an elite military unit of ten thousand soldiers, so called because their number was always replenished. (Capitalized Immortals may refer specifically to the Persian warriors or to members of the French Academy.)
