Priest of Kausos

A resident of Kephallonia, Greece served as the priest of the Village of Kausos during the Peloponnesian War.
In 431 BCE, a blood plague broke up in the village leading to the deaths of numerous villagers. Believing it to be an act of gods, the priest and his followers prayed to the gods for a number of nights. When the plague persisted, the priest made the decision to exterminate the plague by killing and burning anyone who was infected.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Blood Fever
The priest's attempt was largely a success. When he had rounded up the last infected family, he was interrupted by the arrival of the misthios Kassandra, who had been asked by Phoibe to help the villagers, including her friend Kynna. The priest explained to Kassandra his reason for the deed, claiming it was done on the orders of his god. 
==Trivia==
*If Kassandra chose to side with the priest, Kynna and her family would be killed, preventing the spread of the plague. If she chose to spare the villagers, then the priest and his guards would be killed by Kassandra, thus allowing the plague to spread to the rest of the island.
