Generally included in the list of the [[Diadochi|successors]] because of his eventual supremacy, he is unlike his peers in that he did not receive a [[Satrap|satrapy]] under the regency of [[Perdiccas]] upon Alexander's death. Rather Seleucus received command of the elite cavalry unit known as [[The Champions]].

=In Prophecy=
It has long been well accepted fact by all commentators of note that Seleucus I Nicator plays a necessitated role in '''Daniel 11:4''' as detailed in [[Commentary: Daniel 11, Anthony's Historicist Study Aid|Anthony's Study Aid]]. Otherwise Seleucus I Nicator is also necessitated by well established consent in Daniel 7 and 8 as well. A little disagreement exists over the details of his role in Daniel 11:5.
* In [[Daniel, Chapter 7|Daniel 7:6]] the Seleucoid Empire is noted as one of the four heads on the Leopard.<br />
* In [[Daniel, Chapter 8|Daniel 8:8]] Seleucus has long been recognised as one of the four horns after Alexander the Great.<br />
* In [[Commentary: Daniel 11, Anthony's Historicist Study Aid|Daniel 11:4]] Seleucus becomes of necessity one of the four successors after [[Alexander the Great]].<br />
* In [[Commentary: Daniel 11, Anthony's Historicist Study Aid|Daniel 11:5]] Seleucus becomes the greater than [[Ptolemy I Soter]] after having been one of his commanders.
