Kassandra

Kassandra (Greek: Κασσανδρα; 458 BCE – 2018 CE), renowned as the Eagle Bearer, nicknamed the West Wind by Xenia,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – She Who Controls the Seas↑ Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Throw the Dice↑ Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Priceless Treasure and bestowed the title of Keeper by Aletheia,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Lost Tales of Greece – The Heir of Memories was a Spartan mercenary who operated in Greece during the Peloponnesian War. She was the daughter of Myrrine and Pythagoras, the step-daughter of Nikolaos, and the older half-sister of Alexios. Through her son Elpidios, she was also an ancestor to Aya, one of the co-founders of the Hidden Ones.
Born a hybrid, Kassandra possessed an unusually high concentration of Isu DNA, which allowed her to wield the Spear of Leonidas, a Piece of Eden granting superhuman abilities which had previously belonged to her maternal grandfather, King Leonidas I of Sparta. 
During her travels as a mercenary, Kassandra came into conflict with the secretive Cult of Kosmos, an organization intent on controlling the entire Greek world. After discovering that the Cult was targeting her bloodline and was responsible for a traumatic incident which had separated her from her family in her youth, Kassandra embarked on a quest for revenge while also attempting to reunite her broken family. 
In addition to the Cult, Kassandra also opposed the Order of the Ancients, who sought to eliminate her due to her nature as a hybrid and also for allying herself with Darius and his son, Natakas. For her opposition against the Cult and the Order, Kassandra is considered one of the early precursors to the Assassin Brotherhood.Assassin's Creed: The Essential Guide
After successfully vanquishing the Cult and the Order from Greece, Kassandra met her father Pythagoras, who entrusted her with the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, another Piece of Eden which granted her biological immortality. Subsequently, on the instructions of the Isu Aletheia, whose consciousness was stored inside the Staff, Kassandra embarked on a millenia-long journey across the globe to find and destroy dangerous Pieces of Eden.
During her quest, Kassandra would cross paths with the Hidden Ones, becoming one of their allies and receiving a Hidden Blade. She would also become more insular and reserved and decide to operate in the shadows due to her reluctance to form connections with people, until an encounter with the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir in the 9th century CE helped her in this regard.
In 2018, Kassandra met the Assassin Layla Hassan, who had relived her genetic memories to find the Gateway to the Lost City. Instructed by Aletheia to relinquish the Staff to Layla, Kassandra did so after asking the Assassin to destroy all the Pieces of Eden and restore the balance between order and chaos, and subsequently passed away.
==Biography==
===Early life===
====Childhood====
Kassandra was born in Sparta in 458 BCE, to Myrrine, the daughter of the late King Leonidas I, and the philosopher Pythagoras,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Family's Legacy whose lifespan was extended due to the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus he possessed. Shortly after her birth, her father departed from Sparta on a quest to learn more about the Isu, leaving Myrrine to raise Kassandra alone.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Gates of Atlantis As a baby, Myrrine brought Kassandra to the acting Pythia, who proclaimed that the child showed a lot of promise.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Catching Up At one point, Myrrine met and married the Spartan general Nikolaos who, despite Kassandra not being his own flesh and blood, raised her as one of his own. Kassandra would later gain a younger half-brother, Alexios.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Debt Collector
Owing to her lineage as the granddaughter of Leonidas, great hopes were placed upon Kassandra to live up to the strength and valor of the legendary Spartan king. As such, she was trained to fight from a young age by Nikolaos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Home Sweet Home 
One day, while training in the woods near Sparta, Myrrine presented Kassandra with Leonidas' broken spear that she inherited as a heirloom. Since then, the spear never left Kassandra's side even in her sleep, with her telling her parents that she needed it "to fight the monsters in [her] dreams."Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Memories Awoken Like other Spartan children, Kassandra also participated in the agoge, where she learned about various things, including the Gortyn Code.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Gortyn Out of Hand
====Exile from Sparta====
When Kassandra was seven,Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – Database: Kassandra the Pythia PraxitheaAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Unkindest Cut at the Sanctuary of Delphi prophesied at the decree of the Cult of Kosmos that Kassandra's infant brother Alexios would bring about the fall of Sparta. To prevent this, Alexios was to be sacrificed at Mount Taygetos, despite Myrrine's pleas for Nikolaos to stop the ritual. As a priest was about to drop Alexios, Kassandra attempted to save her brother but instead pushed the priest and Alexios to their apparent deaths. Kassandra was condemned as a traitor to Sparta by the ephors, who urged Nikolaos to execute her immediately.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Big Break
Nikolaos, being adherent to Spartan law, reluctantly complied and held Kassandra by her hand before dropping her down the mountain, despite pleas from Myrrine. However, Kassandra survived the fall and escaped to the beach with her spear. Refusing to be found by the Spartans, she fled out to the open sea in a boat, with the eagle Ikaros following her. A storm later turned Kassandra's boat overboard and she woke up on the beaches of Kephallonia. There, she was found by the merchant Markos, who took her under his wing.
===Life in Kephallonia===
====Working for Markos====
Under Markos, Kassandra performed various errands for him, occasionally helping him to settle debts that he owed. At one point, after cutting off the fingers of a boy who threw a rock at Ikaros, Kassandra befriended her neighbour Anais, who saved her from being beaten up by the boy's brothers.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Lost Tales of Greece – Unplanned Parenthood The two became close friends and were noted troublemakers on the island. Kassandra was greatly affected when Anais had to leave Kephallonia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Lost Tales of Greece – Where We Left Off
When she got older, Kassandra forged a career as a mercenary under the tutelage of such men as PhotiosAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – Photios's Pre-Tirement and Heitor,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Friend in Need... and acquired misthios as her nickname on the island. It was during this time, circa 433 BCE, that she and Markos took in an Athenian orphan Phoibe as part of their 'family'.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey novel – Chapter 1 By 431 BCE, Kassandra had set up a home near the ruins of Kranioi on the western coast of Kephallonia, which she shared with Phoibe. From there, Kassandra habitually clashed with thugs working for the "Cyclops", a one-eyed bandit leader who sought to rule the island.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – So It Begins
====Dealing with the Cyclops====
In 431 BCE, Kassandra was confronted once again by the Cyclops' thugs who gave her a bruised nose. After taking care of them, Phoibe stopped by, telling her that Markos requested to meet her at his newly-bought vineyard. Coming across Markos in his new property, Kassandra expressed her disbelief at his purchase of the vineyard even though he still owed her drachmae.
Calming her with the promise of more drachmae, Markos directed her to collect from Duris, a merchant in Sami who was indebted to him. In exchange for helping Markos to collect his debt, Kassandra convinced him to give her a horse, which she named Phobos.
Before Kassandra could depart, she and Markos were stopped by Euterpe, a farmer who informed them that Phoibe had been kidnapped by the Cyclops' thugs and was being held at Ktimene Beach. Making her way to the beach, Kassandra stealthily dealt with the thugs and freed Phoibe, who informed her that the Cyclops had hired the mercenary Talos the Stone Fist to kill her.
Assured that Phoibe was alright, Kassandra then traveled to Sami to locate Duris and collect her debt. In doing so, she discovered that Markos had bought his vineyard with money borrowed from the Cyclops. Once Duris had been dealt with, Kassandra returned to Markos at the Temple of Zeus, speaking to one of the Cyclops' thugs. As Markos and Kassandra devised a plan to deal with the Cyclops, Drucilla, the town's bowyer, confronted Markos about her stolen lumber shipment. Kassandra later helped Drucilla to deal with her stolen lumber problemAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – Lumbering Along in exchange for having her bow upgraded to an Improved Hunter Bow.
Afterward Kassandra returned to Markos, who laid out his plan to repay the Cyclops by stealing his obsidian eye. Kassandra infiltrated the Cyclops' estate and stole the eye. Upon returning to Markos, he insisted she hold onto the eye before telling her that a group of bandits had arrived on Kephallonia. He believed the bandits were there to work with the Cyclops and suggested Kassandra deal with them.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – An Eye for an Eye 
Before going to slay the bandits, Kassandra spotted a worried Phoibe asking her help to check on her friend who was supposedly infected with a blood fever that was spreading in the Village of Kausos. Kassandra travelled to the place, encountering the family of Phoibe's friend ready to be executed by a local priest, who was afraid that they would infect the whole island. She decided to kill him and his followers to then free the family and let them go search for a doctor.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Blood Fever At some point while running her errands, Kassandra killed the misthios that had been pursuing her.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Fight with Talos
====Leaving Kephallonia====
Kassandra later went to an abandoned house that the bandits Markos had spoken of were squatting in and killed them all. To her surprise, the last bandit was executed by their real employer, a man named Elpenor of Kirrha.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Fancy Guests Elpenor then stated he was looking for Kassandra and hired her to recover Penelope's shroud from Ithaka. She sailed to the island in a boat and found the item in possession of a bandit in the ruins of Odysseus' Palace.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Penelope's Shroud
While there, Kassandra freed a woman named Odessa that claimed to be one of Odysseus' descendants, in pilgrimage, and escorted her through the ruins, until she had to sail away.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Small Odyssey Subsequently, Kassandra returned to Elpenor, who allowed her to keep the shroud and hired her to assassinate a general known as "the Wolf of Sparta" in Megaris.
Requiring a ship to reach Megaris, Kassandra learned from the shipmaster Telemenes that the Cyclops had a vessel and had returned to Kephallonia. Thus she confronted him in Kleptous Bay, interrupting him torturing a one-eyed man. After mocking the Cyclops by sticking his obsidian eye up a goat's backside and then killing him, Kassandra rescued the one-eyed man, who introduced himself as Barnabas, captain of the Adrestia, and agreed to transport her to Megaris.
After bidding farewell to Markos and Phoibe, who gave her Chara, her wooden eagle, as a memento, Kassandra informed Barnabas of her contract and was surprised to learn that "the Wolf of Sparta" was none other than her father, Nikolaos.
===Activities in Megaris===
====Helping the Spartans====
Arriving in Megaris after breaching an Athenian blockade, Kassandra met Stentor, a Spartan officer and the adoptive son of Nikolaos. When she asked to meet the general, Stentor hired her as a mercenary to fight the Athenians in the region due to the ongoing Peloponnesian War.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Journey into War Kassandra spent the next few months trying to earn the Spartans' favourAssassin's Creed: Odyssey novel – Chapter 4 by weakening the Athenian forces in Megaris.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Crumble and BurnAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – One Man ArmyAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Athenian Treasure Trove 
During her time aiding the army, Kassandra discovered a mole witin the ranks supported by a rival mercenary, Hyrkanos,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Missing Map and later found that he had stolen supplies from the Spartans, blaming the Athenians for the act.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Portion Control She was then sent to Megara to kill him, discovering in the process the vantages of killing other misthioi.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Hunting Hyrkanos
While in the city, Kassandra met a blind Persian that wanted to see the wonders of the Greek world. Kassandra agreed to be his eyes, in exchange for his story and the promise of a hidden treasure.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Prince of Persia She also encountered Odessa again, near the Port of Nisaia, managing to help her heal her sick fatherAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Family Ordeal and also foiling a conspiracy to have her killed in order to steal her estate, later recruiting Odessa to her crew.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The True Story
====Confronting Nikolaos====
Eventually, Kassandra succeded in killing the Athenian leader in Megaris,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Athenian Leader and subsequently defeated the Athenian army in a battle, becoming known as the "misthios with the broken spear."Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Final Push Having finally earned the Spartans' trust, she was allowed to meet Nikolaos alone and confronted her father over his actions. Nikolaos expressed remorse and Kassandra ultimately decided to spare his life and allowed him to leave, thought not before Nikolaos revealed that he was not her biological father and told her to find Myrrine for more answers.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Wolf of Sparta
Returning to the Adrestia, Kassandra informed Barnabas of the events that had transpired in the last months and he in turn told her that a plague had spread through all of Kephallonia, in part thanks to Kassandra's actions. She then decided to meet with Elpenor to complete her contract and set a course for Pilgrim's Landing, Phokis.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Onwards to Phokis
===Uncovering the Cult of Kosmos===
====Dealing with Elpenor====
In June of that year, the Adrestia arrived in Kirrha, whereupon Barnabas decided to head to Delphi while Kassandra met with Elpenor. After showing him Nikolaos' helmet as "proof" of the general's death, Elpenor was pleased and revealed that he intended to have Kassandra kill more of her family members. However, this enraged the misthios, prompting Elpenor to flee while his guards attacked Kassandra. She survived the encounter and subsequently decided to track down Elpenor to exact revenge on him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Wolf's Fate
Going to the Sanctuary of Delphi to question the Pythia about her family, Kassandra was reunited with Barnabas, who introduced to her the historian Herodotos who seemed to have knowledge about the Spear of Leonidas. When she spoke to the Pythia, Kassandra discovered that the oracle was under the control of the Cult of Kosmos, who forced her to tell the prophecies they wanted.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Consulting a Ghost
After being thrown out of the meeting, Kassandra made her way to the Pythia's house in the Chora of Delphi and confronted the oracle. The Pythia reluctantly revealed that the Cult were having a meeting under the Sanctuary soon and that Elpenor was among their members.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Truth Will Out
Kassandra subsequently traveled to the fort that the Pythia had pointed to be Elpenor's hiding place, but ended up killing his decoy. Finding a note among his belongings, she discovered Elpenor's true hideout, where she finally assassinated the Cult member. On his corpse, she found a mask, a robe and a strange shard.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Snake in the Grass 
====Infiltrating the Sanctuary====
Disguising herself with Elpenor's mask and robe, Kassandra returned to the Sanctuary of Delphi and found a secret entrance leading to the Sanctuary of Kosmos, where the Cult were having their meeting. In the middle of the chamber was a Pyramid composed of the same type of shards she had found on Elpenor and felt compelled to complete it.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Serpent's Lair
During the meeting, Kassandra stole some of the Cult's documents and listened to their conversations, learning that the Cult had infiltrated virtually all of Greek society: economy, religion, politics, arts, and even had Cultists profiteering on both side of the war, the Delian League and Peloponnesian League. She also discovered that the Cult was hunting her family to control the "bloodline".
At that moment, Deimos, the weapon of the Cult, entered the chamber, tossing Elpenor's severed head to the ground and stating the Cult had a traitor in their midst. To find the traitor, he tested the members with the Pyramid: his hand on one face, the accused's on another.
When it was Kassandra's turn, the artifact showed them memories of their childhood. Kassandra realized that Deimos was her lost brother Alexios, while the latter was disturbed and confused and ordered her to go. He then accused the Cultist Epiktetos of being the traitor and killed him by smashing his head against the Pyramid.
During the confusion, Kassandra took a shard of the Pyramid before leaving the hideout. Exiting the cave, Kassandra met Herodotos outside, who convinced her to join him in a trip to Athens to report their findings to Perikles. Before sailing to Athens, however, Herodotos requested that Kassandra meet him at Thermopylae to discuss a secret about her spear.
====Journey to Athens====
Before heading to Thermopylae, Kassandra found a doctor named Lykaon in the Chora of Delphi whose grandmother, Praxithea, was the oracle that had sentenced Alexios to death as an infant.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Helping a HealerAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – Sins of the Past She helped Lykaon to free Praxithea from her kidnappers in order to judge her for actions.
While exploring a Temple of Artemis in Phokis, Kassandra found a member of the Daughters of Artemis, Daphnae, who challenged her to hunt the Kalydonian Boar, the legendary boar that dwelled in a plateau nearby. After emerging victorious in her hunt, she delivered the boar's pelt to Daphnae,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Daughters of Artemis who tasked her to hunt all the other legendary beasts throughout Greece, in order to earn the trust and protection of the Daughters.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Goddesses' Hunt
Kassandra traversed the mountains surronding Delphi through the Cave of Kratos and eventually met Herodotos at the Lion of Leonidas at Thermopylae, where her grandfather had persihed during the Battle of Thermopylae. There, the two touched the Spear of Leonidas and relived the king's last memory during the battle. Understanding the spear was an artifact belonging to an ancient civilization, Herodotos talked to Kassandra about an ancient complex on Andros island, which the misthios decided to visit.
On the island, Kassandra found an Isu-built gate which she was able to open with her spear, granting her access to the Ancient Forge. Inside, she found a mold corresponding to the spear and using the shard she took from the Pyramid, she upgraded the weapon.
Upon leaving the Ancient Forge, Kassandra was confronted by Alexios, who accused her of throwing him from Mount Taygetos when he was an infant. Kassandra tried to tell him the truth but his indoctrination by the Cult was too strong and he left his sister with a threat to stay out of his way. Kassandra then returned to the Adrestia to tell Herodotos what she sad seen and they began their voyage to Athens.
===Interfering in Athenian politics===
====Helping Perikles====
In July 431 BCE,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey novel – Chapter 7 Kassandra and Herodotos arrived in Athens, which was under siege by the Spartans. The population was tired of Perikles' strategy to wait behind the walls of the city until the enemies left. The politician and army general Kleon advocated a more aggressive tactic and many Athenians were ready to follow him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Welcome to Athens
As Kassandra wanted to find her mother to protect her from the Cult of Kosmos, Herodotus told her she should go to Perikles' symposium to gather information on Myrrine's whereabouts. Talking with Perikles, he told Kassandra to help with three tasks in order to be allowed into the symposium.
The sculptor Phidias was targeted by the Cult of Kosmos and Perikles wanted him out of Athens for Phidias' safety. Kassandra escorted him to Seriphos and killed Brison, the man charged to kill Phidias.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Escape from Athens Kassandra also saved Metiochos, who had been captured by thugs and left in his house to be killed by poisonous snakes. Kassandra discovered that the thugs were poor people manipulated by a mercenary to kill Metiochos. She found the mercenary and killed him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Venomous Encounter Finally, Kassandra helped rig the ostracization of Anaxagoras to be sure he would be exiled. After the vote, Kassandra met the philosopher Sokrates who questioned her about her choices.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ostracized
====The symposium====
After accomplishing her missions, Kassandra was allowed to participate in Perikles' symposium. Entering Perikles' Residence, she met Phoibe, who had left Kephallonia and was now working for Aspasia, Perikles' lover. Entering the party, Kassandra spoke with Herodotos who introduced her to the guests of the symposium: the playwrights Sophokles, Euripides, and Hermippos; the sophists Protagoras and Thrasymachos; Sokrates; and Perikles' nephew Alkibiades.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Perikles's Symposium
Speaking to Sophokles, Kassandra learned that Euripides had heard about a Spartan woman who might have been Myrrine. After plying him with wine, she discovered that the woman went to Asklepios Temple in Argolis to save her son. He told Kassandra to speak to Hippokrates in Argos to learn more information.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Drink Up After giving some oil to Alkibiades, he advised Kassandra to search for the Spartan woman in Korinth and speak with the influential hetaera Anthousa.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Oil and Love
Conversing with the other guests, Kassandra met Aspasia. Learning about her mother, the hetaera told Kassandra to meet her friend Xenia on the island of Keos who might have more information. After that, Kassandra spoke to Perikles about the Cult of Kosmos and the threat they represented for Athens. Later that night, Kassandra left the party after saying goodbye to Phoibe.
Before searching for her mother, Kassandra helped the playwright Aristophanes to investigate Hermippos and discovered that he was a Cultist, subsequently killing him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Free Speech In Attika, she found another member of the Cult, the Master, who mistreated his slaves. Kassandra attempted to free one of the Master's slaves, and the Master agreed if Kassandra killed a woman for him. She refused and slew him instead.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Life's Worth
Kassandra also helped the general Demosthenes and Kleon to fight the Spartans who were camped around Athens.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Creating OpportunityAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – For the People She was tasked by Kleon to find two of his men Heremos and Onomakles. The first one was dead but she saved the second before attacking the Spartan fleet, permitting Onomakles to sail to Mytilene.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – He Who StopsAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Liberator
===Searching for her mother===
====Investigation in Argolis====
When Kassandra left Athens, she decided to follow all the leads she had gathered during the symposium to find her mother Myrrine. Arriving in Argos, she met the doctor Hippokrates, who was missing his notes. As he needed his notes to heal his patients, she went to retrieve them from Fort Tiryns but the notes were burnt.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – First Do No Harm
As the fort's physician Dymas had read the notes, Kassandra convinced him to leave and escorted him to Hippokrates' clinic. Following this, Hippokrates told her that when he was younger, he met a Spartan woman matching Myrrine's description who went to the Asklepios Temple to save her wounded son.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Doctor Will See You Now Kassandra thus left for the temple, where she assisted the priests with their problems; in exchange, they told her about the elder priest Mydon, who had cut out his own tongue.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Priests of Asklepios
Going to interrogate Mydon, Kassandra surprised him with his lover and slave. The slave spoke for Mydon, explaining that the priest had met Myrrine when she came to heal Alexios after his fall from Mount Taygetos, but the priests had allegedly failed to save the infant. Chrysis, the priestess of Hera, forced Mydon to cut out his tongue to prevent him to speak about the Spartan woman and her child. Kassandra understood that Chrysis had made Myrrine believe that Alexios was dead in order to abduct him for the Cult.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Speak No Evil
Going to the Altar of Apollo Maleatas, she was attacked by Cultists, proving the link between Chrysis and the Cult of Kosmos. As the priestess of Hera kidnapped another baby, Kassandra confronted her. Chrysis explained that she had raised Alexios as her son and tortured him into becoming the weapon of the Cult. She also explained that Myrrine had fled to Korinth after that and that the Monger was sent to capture her.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ashes to Ashes 
When Chrysis proposed that Kassandra join her family, the misthios refused, prompting the Cultist to set fire to the altar with a baby inside. She then made her escape while Kassandra was forced to choose between giving chase or rescuing the infant from the flames. While Chrysis fled, she was killed by her estranged son Dolops.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey novel – Chapter 8
====Liberating Korinth====
Arriving in Korinth, Kassandra made contact with Anthousa and was reunited with Phoibe, who had been sent by Aspasia to announce her arrival to Anthousa. The heteara accepted to give information on Myrrine if Kassandra helped her to kill the Monger, a member of the Cult who forced the hetaerae of the city to pay him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – To Find a Girl Kassandra subsequently helped Damalis and Erinna against the Monger's men.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – To Help a GirlAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – Follow That Boat
As part of her attempts to sabotage the Monger's operations, Kassandra burnt one of his warehouses to stop his smuggling, but was trapped inside by the guards. As she fought them, she was assisted by the Spartan general Brasidas. Brasidas then explained to Kassandra that he was there to stop the Monger's crimes as Korinth was an ally of Sparta. He agreed the Monger had to be killed, but stealthily.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Port of Lawlessness 
Once the Monger arrived, he was killed by Kassandra with the help of Brasidas, Roxanna and Erina, before his remains were displayed publicly by Kassandra and Anthousa, against Brasidas' wishes.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey novel To thank her for liberating Korinth from the Monger's control, Anthousa told Kassandra that she had sheltered her mother during her stay in Korinth before Myrrine left the city upon winning a ship, the Siren Song.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Monger Down
====Working with Xenia====
Arriving on Keos, Kassandra infiltrated the Temple of Athena Nedousia, the headquarters of Xenia the "queen of pirates," who controlled the island. As Xenia demanded payment in exchange for information, Kassandra went around collecting enough drachmae to pay the pirate. Afterwards, Xenia informed her that Myrrine had operated as a pirate for some time under the alias "Phoenix", and had served with Xenia's crew until leaving Keos to pursue other goals.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Island of Misfortune 
Kassandra subsequently began a partnership with Xenia, helping her find various treasures around Greece based on maps the pirate had in her possession in exchange for receiving a cut of the profits.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Birds of a Feather
===The Plague of Athens===
Returning to Athens during the autumn of 429 BCE, Kassandra witnessed the city being struck by a plague. As Hippokrates tried to save the sick, Kassandra helped him to burn the bodies of the dead to prevent the spread of the plague, despite the Followers of Ares' efforts to stop them, seeing the practice as sacrilegious.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Growing Sickness 
Afterwards, Kassandra went to see Perikles, only to learn from Aspasia that he had also fallen ill. Speaking with the strategos, she understood that Perikles was really weakened and that Kleon would take his place as the leader of Athens. When she returned to Aspasia, the strategos tasked her to find Phoibe, who had gone missing after being sent by Aspasia to find a ferry.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Abandoned By the Gods
Investigating around the Odeon of Perikles, Kassandra stumbled upon the scene of a massacre. As she saw Phoibe being followed by guards of the Cult, she ran to save her, but despite managing to kill the guards, it was too late; Phoibe had been killed. Mourning her friend, Kassandra placed Chara in Phoibe's hands and was soon joined by Sokrates and Hippokrates. The trio then decided to go to the Parthenon to speak with Aspasia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – And the Streets Run Red
Arriving near the temple, they found Aspasia who was searching for Perikles. Kassandra told her the news of Phoibe's death, which shocked Aspasia. They then entered the temple, only to witness Alexios killing Perikles. As Kassandra tried to stop him, her brother ran away while leaving his guards to deal with her. After dispatching them, Kassandra decided to leave Athens with Aspasia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Athens's Last Hope
As Kleon had become the new ruler of Athens following Perikles' death and ordered that no one leave the city, Kassandra had to fight her way to the Port of Piraeus where the Adrestia was docked. Before leaving, she asked Sokrates and Hippokrates to stay and give Phoibe a proper burial. On the Adrestia, Kassandra spoke to Aspasia about the clues she found on her mother. Aspasia said that she knew someone named Phoenix on Naxos Island, so they set sail for the island. 
===Finding her parents===
====War in Naxos====
Arriving on Naxos, Kassandra learned that her mother had become the oligarch of the island. When they met, the touching reunion between mother and daughter was interrupted by attacking Parian forces. Kassandra and Myrrine killed the invaders with the help of Timo and Hektor.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Mother's Prayers After that, Kassandra spoke with her mother about her fate after following the events on Mount Taygetos and explained that Alexios was alive but working for the Cult. They decided to fight the Cult together and save Alexios from its control. 
As Naxos and Paros were at war, Kassandra helped her mother to defend the island and weaken the position of Silanos, Paros' oligarch and secretly a member of the Cult.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Going Down Kassandra also stopped the propaganda against her mother made by the artist Lichas, who had been paid by Silanos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Writing's on the Wall
During a symposium, Aspasia warned Myrrine that men had been sent to kill her. Kassandra dispatched them before they had the opportunity to do so, and found a coded message from Paros on one of their bodies. Aspasia deciphered the message and informed Kassandra that one of the Two Kings of Sparta was a Sage of the Cult. Myrrine was shocked as Sparta had always resisted the Cult, and decided to travel to Sparta once the conflict with Paros was over.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Death and Disorder 
As the fleet of Paros had blockaded the harbor of Naxos, Kassandra destroyed the fleet with the Adrestia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Paros Blockade Afterwards she sank the Amber Dawn, Silanos' ship, killing him in the process and securing Naxos' victory in the war. Arriving on the island, Kassandra met up with her mother, who was ready to return to Lakonia and fight the Cult. Before leaving, Myrrine told her daughter that her biological father had last been seen in Thera and that she needed to see him. The two then promised to reunite in Lakonia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Unified Front
====The Gateway to the Lost City====
On the volcanic island of Thera, Kassandra found the Minoan Ruins and a gate like the one of the Ancient Forge on Andros. Using her spear, she opened the gate and explored the underground of the island. Arriving in an Isu temple, she met her real father Pythagoras, who revealed that they were in the ruins of the legendary city of Atlantis which contained powerful knowledge.
Pythagoras proceeded to explain that Kassandra had been conceived to perpetuate an ancient bloodline and that her destiny was to help him to protect Atlantis from the Cult of Kosmos and others who may seek its knowledge. For that, they needed to seal the gateway to the city using four artifacts which were hidden around Greece. Kassandra agreed to help her father in his quest to retrieve the artifacts and departed Atlantis.
===Hunted by the Order of the Ancients===
====Meeting Darius and Natakas====
Prior to traveling to Lakonia, Kassandra received a letter inviting her to go to Potidaia in Makedonia as a large attacking force was massacring the civilian populace. Arriving in the village, she witnessed Spartan soldiers setting buildings on fire and taking villagers hostage. Kassandra killed the soldiers and saved their prisoners, including a man named Aiantides.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – The Horsemen Cometh
As Kassandra searched for other civilians in danger, she was taken by surprise by a soldier but was saved by a Persian archer. Afterwards, she was confronted by a masked man and Persian soldiers. She killed the soldiers but the masked man escaped. Following this, she met with the man who had saved her, Natakas, and helped him to save other villagers. He explained that the soldiers knew her and answered to someone called "the Huntsman." While Natakas decided to stay with the civilians, Kassandra tracked the masked man.
Finding his body on the road alongside several dead Spartan soldiers, she was suddenly attacked by their killer: an old hooded man with a strange blade. Kassandra dueled her assailant until their fight was broken up by Natakas, who revealed that the hooded man, Darius, was his father and invited Kassandra to join them at their hideout below the Rock Arch.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Shadow of a Legend
At the hideout, Darius explained that he and Natakas were on the run from the Order of the Ancients, a secret society that sought to control humanity in the name of peace and order. Three decades prior, Darius had assassinated the Order's puppet, King Xerxes I of Persia, which resulted in the Order executing most of his family in retaliation while Darius managed to flee with Natakas.
Darius also revealed that Kassandra was being pursued by the Huntsman, a member of the Order who had lured her to Makedonia to kill her because of her nature as a "Tainted One." He then gave Kassandra the choice to flee or fight back against the Order, and she agreed to help Darius and Natakas eliminate their pursuers.
====Hunting the Hunters====
Darius explained to Kassandra that the Huntsman was the Magus of the Order of Hunters, a branch of the Ancients. To draw him out of hiding, they would first need to eliminate his lieutenants. Prior to tracking down the Ancients, Kassandra helped Natakas to hunt a boar, during which they bonded as the latter revealed more of his past. She also returned to the Adrestia to explain the situation to Barnabas, and decided to be careful around Darius, believing she could not fully trust him yet.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – More Questions than Answers 
With Natakas, Kassandra later investigated a plague which had struck Potidaia. As the magistrate of the village refused to take action, Kassandra protected the healer Timosa when she was attacked by the magistrate's guards. The healer then asked her to retrieve medicine which had been stolen by pirates. Kassandra boarded the pirates' ships and recovered the medicine, though she was surprised to discover that the bandits who had stolen the medicine were not pirates, but rather Persian soldiers.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Mysterious Malady
Returning to Potidaia, Kassandra reunited with Natakas, who informed her that the source of the plague was poison in the water supply. They both then witnessed the magistrate and Timosa accusing each other of being responsible. Ulitmatley, Kassandra concluded that Timosa was the culprit and also a member of the Order, and slew her after a battle.
Working with Darius, Kassandra tracked the Conspirator who recruited troops for the Order. She infiltrated Olynthos Fortress and discovered an encoded note from the Conspirator discussing a ceremony that was to take place at a nearby farm that night. Kassandra and Darius waited for the ceremony to commence and subsequently killed the Conspirator.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Revealing the Recruiter In the fort Kassandra also found evidence that Akantha, the wife of the ruler of Makedonia, was a member of the Order, and proceeded to hunt her down.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – The Order of Hunters
Kassandra tracked down and eliminated the other members of the Order in Makedonia. She killed Phratagounè who looked after the Huntsman's beasts, and Konon who worked with the Followers of Ares. Investigating Hylas, a villager who had survived an attack from the magistrate of Potidaia, she discovered that he had joined the Order to take his revenge and found a note in his camp revealing the location of Echion, the Ancient who had recruited Hylas.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Dead Man Rises She proceeded to hunt down both Hylas and Echion, recovering the magistrate's secret stash which had been stolen by the former in the process.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Finders Keepers She also eliminated the Huntsman's wolves who attacked civilians near Amphipolis.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – The City that Cried Wolf
====Confronting the Huntsman====
Natakas later sent Kassandra to find one of his informants in the Swamps of Thermes. Inside a camp, she found a woman whom she freed and who informed her that her young son worked for Natakas but had been captured by the Order. Searching for him in the fog, Kassandra found the boy, but he was afraid that the misthios would harm him and ran away.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Whimpers Through the Fog
Following him, Kassandra was led to a tree with the hanging corpses of the men she had killed in Potidaia. There she was confronted by a masked man who told her to not trust Darius as he was not what he pretended to be. He also wanted to show her the chaos that resulted from her actions, as the alleged relatives of her victims confronted her near the tree. The masked man fled but left a written message that the Huntsman was waiting for her in a forest.
Meeting with Natakas, Kassandra put together all the information she had gathered on the Ancients to deduce the Huntsman's location.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Piecing the Puzzle In the forest mentioned in the document, she saw the same masked man from earlier, who confirmed that he was the Huntsman and claimed that it was his duty to kill Tainted Ones like Kassandra because they posed a danger to the world.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Protector of Persia
Kassandra proceeded to fight the Huntsman and his soldiers until the Ancient fled to a cave where the misthios tracked and mortally wounded him. As more of his men tried to kill Kassandra, Darius and Natakas arrived in the cave and dispatched them. With his dying breath, the Huntsman revealed his true name to be Pactyas and claimed that Darius, whose real name was Artabanus, was his old friend and had betrayed their pact.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Protector of Persia
To this, Darius admitted that he had not assassinated Xerxes I alone, but was instead part of a secret group that had sworn to protect Persia. Following their assassination of Xerxes I, Pactyas and another member, Amorges, believed that allying with the Order was the best way to bring peace to Persia, but Darius went against them by attempting to kill the young king Artaxerxes I before he could be influenced by the Order like his father. However, Amorges stopped him and Darius was subsequently forced to flee Persia after being branded a traitor.
After Darius buried Pactyas' body, Kassandra visited him and Natakas at their hideout, finding them getting ready to leave Makedonia and go into hiding from the Order once more. They bid her farewell and Kassandra promised to fight against the Order if they tracked her down again.
====Other activities in Makedonia====
At some point during her time in Makedonia, Kassandra saved Ide, a friend of Natakas who was imprisoned in a military camp. After she expressed her anger with Order mercenaries who patrolled around her drinking spot, Kassandra offered to kill the three mercenaries while Ide promised that she would share a cup of wine with her for that.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – A Curious Request
After killing Agis of the North, Gaia the Fist, and Theos the Stargazer, Kassandra returned to see Ide.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Taking Out the Competition At the drinking spot, she discovered that Ide had been killed by a fourth mercenary, Exadios the Backbreaker. After toasting with a cup of Ide's wine, Kassandra killed the mercenary to avenge Ide.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – A Good Toast
Returning to Potidaia, Kassandra found a letter from Aiantides who wanted to reward her for saving him during the Order's attack on the village. Kassandra followed his instructions and collected the reward.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Thank You, Maláka! Later, she found another letter from Aiantides who wanted to pay his debt to the misthios as she had unknowingly saved his brother at the farm during the ceremony led by the Conspirator. Kassandra once again recovered Aiantides' treasure.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted – Again, Maláka?!
===Tracking the Sage-King===
====Return to Sparta====
In late 429 BCE, Kassandra joined her mother in Lakonia and from there the two rode for Sparta. Their first stop was their old home, where they reminisced of their past before being joined by Brasidas, who informed them that the city had claimed the estate following Nikolaos' disappearance. As Kassandra wanted to see the kings, Brasidas advised her to deal with a helot revolt in Sparta to win the kings' favour so that they would grant her an audience.
When Kassandra and her mother met the Kings Archidamos and Pausanias of Sparta, the former was furious with the two women after what had happened on Mount Taygetos, but Pausanias was willing to give them a chance to prove their loyalty. Each king subsequently gave Kassandra one task to accomplish: Archidamos asked her to help the Spartan forces in Boeotia conquer the region, while Pausanias requested that she escort Sparta's champion Testikles to Elis for the upcoming Olympic Games.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Kings of Sparta
After the meeting, Brasidas informed Kassandra that he had a lead on a Cultist in Arkadia. Myrrine chose to follow Brasidas to investigate this lead while Kassandra accomplished the kings' tasks. Before her mother's departure, Kassandra promised to join her and Brasidas in Arkadia. During her time in Sparta, Kassandra met the general Lysander who tasked her to assassinate Athenian strategoi and bring back their seals as proof of their deaths.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ambition
====The Olympic Games====
After escorting Testikles on the Adrestia from Sparta to Kyllene, Kassandra accidentally made the champion fall into the sea, where he was eaten by a shark. Her ally Alkibiades, who had come to attend the Olympic Games and witnessed the incident, suggested that Kassandra take Testikles' place and compete in the pankration for Sparta.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Delivering a Champion Prior to the event, Kassandra and Barnabas went to the Sanctuary of Olympia and participated in the rituals of the Olympic Games.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Barnabas Abroad 
During the first phase of the pankration, Kassandra defeated her opponents Orion and Erastos, which qualified her for the final. While she celebrated her victory, Alkibiades collapsed after he returned from a party. After Barnabas deduced he had been poisoned, Kassandra decided to investigate the case.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Contender She discovered the corpses of other Athenian guests and was attacked by a guard of the Cult, whom she defeated. Interrogating the merchant Priam, she learned that someone had paid him to poison the wine. She subsequently went to Fort Koroibos to find an antidote, returning in time to save Alkibiades' life.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Long Game
During the final, Kassandra fought the champion Dorieus and won the competition. Receiving an olive wreath, Kassandra was announced as the Olympic champion.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Pankration Later, she discovered that the former champion and pankration judge Kallias was a member of the Cult and the person behind Alkibiades' poisoning. She killed him and, on his body, found a clue about the identity of the Sage of the Cult's Peloponnesian League branch.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Peloponnesian League
While in Olympia, Kassandra met the sculptor Phidias, who was targeted by the Cult and had received a scytale and a note. On the note they discovered a riddle that led to Temple of Zeus in Olympia. There Kassandra found a symbol for decoding the mysterious message. Phidias told her to find the others on three other statues on Kythera Island, Samos, and Thasos. Kassandra agreed to accomplish this quest.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Message, the Stick, and the Artist
After travelling to Lokris and finding a note stating that funds were donated by the Abantis Islands to the nation, Kassandra learned of Skylax, the Spartan leader of the islands and another member of the Cult's Peloponnesian League branch. She proceeded to kill him, acquiring another clue regarding the Sage's identity in the process.
====Dealing with Lagos the Archon====
Later, Kassandra traveled to Arkadia to meet with Myrrine and Brasidas as promised. There, she was attacked by the misthios Sosipatros who was after a bounty on her head. After defeating him, she learned that it was the Spartan archon of Arkadia, Lagos, who had hired Sosipatros to kill her and her mother. Joining Myrrine and Brasidas, Kassandra understood that Lagos was a member of the Cult. Myrrine wanted him dead, but Brasidas suspected that the Cult had forced Lagos' hand and hoped for a more peaceful resolution.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – To Kill or Not to Kill
After helping Brasidas to investigate Lagos' motivations,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – White Lies and Blackmail Kassandra discovered that the Cult had kidnapped Lagos' family and rescued them from the hideout where they were being held.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Gluten Free To lower the bounty on her head, she also worked to weaken Lagos' control over Arkadia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Breaking BreadAssassin's Creed: Odyssey – Fourth-Degree Burns 
Eventually, Kassandra went to Fort Samikon, where Lagos was located, to confront the archon. When she found him, Lagos presented her with documents that proved that Pausanias was the Sage of the Peloponnesian League. Although Kassandra hoped to persuade Lagos to leave the Cult like Brasidas had intended,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Judge, Jury, Executioner Myrrine ultimately killed the archon to end the Cult's control over Arkadia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey novel – Chapter 14
With Lagos' death, all members of the Peloponnesian League branch of the Cult were eliminated and Kassandra acquired the final piece of the Spartan War Hero armor set. She then parted ways with Myrrine and Brasidas, heading to Boeotia to complete her final task for Sparta's kings.
====Conquering Boeotia====
In 427 BCE, Kassandra arrived at the Spartan Military Camp in Boeotia to help their general, whom she discovered was none other than Stentor. Her step-brother was less than eager to see her, believing that she had killed Nikolaos, and was angry that Sparta's kings had sent her to assist him. Though reluctant, he agreed to let her help him and ordered her to kill the four Champions of Boeotia who fought for Athens.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Conqueror
Kassandra proceeded to assassinate Drakon,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The End of Drakon Nesaia,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Last Hunt of Nesaia and Deianeira, the last of whom was revealed to be a Cultist,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fall of Deianeira as well as her cousin Astra, to avenge the death of Timon's brother Abreas.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Sibling Revenge When she went to assassinate the final champion, Aristaios, Kassandra was surprised to see Nikolaos fight and slay him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Last Fight of Aristaios
Talking with her step-father, Nikolaos explained to her that he had been helping Stentor from the shadows to repair the wrong he had done to his family, and Kassandra encouraged him to reunite with Stentor. Having accomplished her mission, Kassandra joined the Spartan troops in fighting the Athenians for control of Boeotia.
Following their victory, Stentor challenged Kassandra to a duel to avenge Nikolaos' supposed death. Before they could fight, however, Nikolaos appeared and calmed down Stentor. He then briefly talked with Kassandra, telling her to be careful on her return to Sparta and wishing that the gods watch over her and Myrrine.
====Exposing Pausanias====
Returning to Sparta, Kassandra was reunited with her mother as the two prepared for their audience with the kings, which would also be attended by the ephors, the Gerousia, and the Hippeis. During the hearing, Kassandra presented the evidence she had acquired that exposed Pausanias as a Cultist and accused him of treason in front of the assembled crowd.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Bloody Feast Pausanias was consequently charged for his crimes, dethroned and exiled from Sparta, effectively ending the Cult's influence over the Peloponnesian League.
As Kassandra had done Sparta a great service by exposing Pausanias' treason, Archidamos granted her and Myrrine their citizenship back and allowed them to move back into their old home. Following Pausanias' exile, Kassandra tracked him down and slew him. On his body, she found a letter from the Ghost of Kosmos, the leader of the Cult, revealing that they had hoped to trick the misthios into believing that Archidamos was the Cultist, in order to allow Pausanias to unite the Greek poleis under the Cult's command.
===Fighting the Order of the Ancients===
====Reunion in Achaia====
Around 426 BCE, Kassandra received an anonymous letter asking her to travel to Dyme, Achaia. Arriving there, she discovered that it was Darius who had sent the letter, requiring the misthios aid against the Order of the Ancients once more. Darius explained that he and Natakas had taken refuge in Achaia while looking for a way to escape the Greek world, but the Order had tracked them down and set up a blockade around Patrai. As Natakas had gone missing while attempting to secure passage aboard a boat, Kassandra agreed to help Darius find him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Stranger Tides
After rescuing Natakas from several guards, he informed them that the Order had captured civilians and imprisoned them in the Teichos of Herakles. Kassandra decided to liberate the prisoners, and infiltrated the fortress, finding a letter which indicated that the Order was working alongside the Cult of Kosmos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Into the Storm
After freeing the prisoners, including a woman named Kleta, Kassandra returned to Darius and Natakas and informed them that Achaia was under the control of the Tempest, the Magus of the Order of the Storm, another branch of the Ancients. She then agreed to help Darius and Natakas liberate the city from the Tempest's control, both to help its populace and to create an opening that would allow the pair to leave the Greek world.
====Fighting the Storm====
With the note of the Cult, Kassandra collected other pieces of information on the Tempest, learning she was kidnapping people from Boura.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – On the Grapevine Traveling there, Kassandra met with Kleta, who was helping refugees leave Achaia. Kassandra offered her help and Kleta directed her to the merchant Orontas. After dispatching several Order guards, Kassandra learned that Orontas had several ships that could be used to transport refugees, but they had been confiscated by Ariston, the foreman of Pellene's docks.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Prodigal
Kassandra agreed to help negotiate a deal with Ariston, though before leaving, Kleta informed that the Tempest was her daughter Phila. After reclaiming the ships from Ariston, Kassandra was confronted by several guards who had come to arrest her for freeing the Tempest's prisoners. Orontas took the blame to protect Kassandra and Kleta and, trusting them to accomplish their mission, was taken away by the guards.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Safe Passage
Returning to Patrai, Kassandra joined Natakas in spying on the Tempest, who was testing a new fire weapon for her ship, the Skylla. Aterf the weapon exploded and the Ancient left, Kassandra and Natakas investigated around the city to find her. Attacking the Tempest's mercenaries, they interrogated one of them and learned that the Tempest had locked down Achaia to kill Kassandra. With the Adrestia, Kassandra then destroyed a part of the Tempest's fleet.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Persian Puppetry
Later, Kassandra met Darius at his hideout in the hull of an unfinished ship. As Gyras, the Tempest's chief engineer, wanted to flee Achaia, they decided to interrogate him. The engineer revealed that his new weapon, the Chimera's Breath, wasn't complete, and agreed to install it on the Adrestia if Kassandra recovered his cyphered plan.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Theatrics and Espionage
After recovering the plan, Kassandra discovered that Gyras had been killed by the Ancient Megakreon, who ambushed the misthios moments later, only to be slain. Despite Gyras' death, his wife Parmys informed Kassandra that her husband had codebooks to decipher his plan. After recovering the books, the Chimera's Breath was finished and installed on the Adrestia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Tides of War
During her hunt of the Order in Achaia, Kassandra tracked the Ancient known as "the Broker." On a shipwreck, she found a corpse with a manifest indicating that the Broker was Sophos, a wealthy shipwright of Patrai who funded the Ancients. Kassandra assassinated him and found on his body a letter from the Ancient Nestor, the captain of a ship that patrolled the waters of Achaia. Using the Adrestia, Kassandra boarded Nestor's ship and killed him. Another letter led Kassandra to her next target, Augos, who monitored Darius and Natakas. Kassandra went to the Shipwreck Cove, where Augos was located, and assassinated him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Order of the Storm
At some point, Kassandra received another letter from Aiantides, who wanted to thank her for killing the Huntsman. He indicated to her the location of his last gift on Achaia's shore. Collecting it, Kassandra met Aiantides in person, who thanked her for liberating his aunt at the Teichos of Herakles. As he had no other gift, he claimed that he owed a favor to Kassandra. However, the misthios ultimately told him to leave her alone, even though Aiantides insisted that he still had to redeem his honor.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Thank You, Misthios
====Taking down the Tempest====
Eventually, Kassandra met with Darius, Natakas and Kleta to organize their plan to destroy the remainder of the Tempest's fleet, which would allow Darius, Natakas and the refugees to evacuate Achaia. At night, Kassandra and Natakas went into an empty house in Dyme. While drinking, they spoke about their difficulties in making friends and reminisced of their time in Makedonia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Calm Before the Storm
The following day, after bidding farewell to her friends, Kassandra boarded the Adrestia as she got ready to engage the Tempest's fleet, who attempted to stop the evacuation. After sinking the Skylla and her escorts, Kassandra returned to shore to confront the Tempest, who had survived her ship's destruction. As the Ancient swore to kill Kassandra for being a Tainted One, Kleta arrived and revealed to her daughter she was herself a Tainted One.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Leviathan's Maw
A duel between the two Tainted Ones then occurred, culminating in the Tempest's death by Kassandra's blade. With her death, the Order of the Storm was vanquished and its blockade lifted, allowing the Achaian refugees to leave the Greek world.
====Starting a family====
The following day, Kassandra went to bid farewell to Darius and Natakas before they left Greece for good. As she contemplated whether she would see them again and whether she would be able to form similar connections with other people, she was surprised and relieved to learn that the two had decided to stay with her in Achaia after all.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Home 
Taking the empty house in Dyme as their home, Kassandra, Natakas and Darius became a family, with the former two later having a son together, Elpidios. While raising her son, Kassandra resumed her work as a mercenary, obliging her to leave her family from time to time.
At some point, Kassandra discovered that, prior to her death, the Tempest had recruited five mercenaries to kill her. Kassandra proceeded to track down and assassinate Atos the Beast Caller, Hirpes the Sordid, Aias the Clean, Kephalon the Thinker, and Proktos the Moon King, ending the threat.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage – Knives in the Dark
Returning to Achaia after a contract, Kassandra killed several boars to protect Dyme and used their meat for Darius' gathering. Joining Darius, she discovered that Natakas and Elpidios were playing hide and seek on the beach. Kassandra and Darius intervened in their game, finding Natakas and Elpidos. After some time with her son, Kassandra collected shellfish with Natakas while Darius took Elpidios home to prepare the feast.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Simple Life 
During their time together, Kassandra and Natakas spoke about their son and the impact he had on their lives. Near a cliff, Natakas showed Kassandra a charm that his mother had given him to protect him. He threw it into the water, proving that he trusted Kassandra to protect their family. That night, Kassandra had diner with the others before Natakas put Elpidios to bed. She reflected with Darius on the peaceful life they had.
====Attack on Dyme====
During their conversation, Kassandra and Darius spotted smoke over Dyme. They rode for the village, finding it under attack by the Order of the Ancients. Kassandra was surprised to see Orontas leading the Order's forces until Darius clarified that it was in fact his former brother-in-arms Amorges. After fighting off the Order's soldiers, Kassandra and Darius joined Natakas and Elpidios. Darius decided to attack the Ancients to give time to the three others to escape. Before leaving, Kassandra promised Darius that she would protect their family.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – A Flight in Fire
On the way to the beach, Kassandra protected Natakas and their son, killing more soldiers sent by the Order. While preparing a boat to leave, Kassandra decided to head back and save Darius, leaving Natakas and Elpidios on the shore. As Darius was about to be killed by the Immortals, Kassandra intervened, saving Darius and killing the two Ancients. Realizing that the attack was a diversion, Kassandra and Darius returned to the shore only to find Natakas dead and no trace of Elpidios.
The following day, Kassandra and Darius buried Natakas next to their house. As Darius reproached Kassandra for breaking her promise to protect their family, she proposed that they work together to find Elpidios, but Darius left to search for him alone. On the grave of Natakas, Kassandra promised to find their son. Talking with Barnabas afterwards, she discovered that the ballistae used by the Ancients had been created in Messenia. With no other lead, Kassandra took the Adrestia and set sail for Messenia, hoping to find her son.
====Hunting the Order of Dominion====
Arriving in Aipeia, Kassandra discovered that many of the Order's soldiers had been assassinated. Investigating the area, she was ambushed by Darius, who proceeded to share what information he had managed to gather. Messenia served as the stronghold of the Order of Dominion, the branch of the Order led by Amorges, who effectively ruled the region with the support of the Spartan Army.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Answers from Ashes
One of the Order's commanders was overseeing a large production of weapons and supervising imprisoned helots, while another Ancient, Dimokrates, was negotiating a deal with the Cult of Kosmos to send reinforcements. Finally, the Order had captured an Athenian general who could prove to be a valuable ally if freed. With this information in mind, Kassandra reluctantly decided to work with Darius to undermine the Order.
Heading to the Leader House, Kassandra freed several helots to learn the identity of the commander overseeing the Order's weapon production line. After saving the helot Rhode from execution, she agreed to lead Kassandra to the commander in exchange for helping her son Pebble and other helot children leave Messenia. As they headed towards Aipeia's port, the group were confronted by the commander Harpagos and his guards. After killing them, Kassandra found a letter on Harpagos' body indicating that the Magus of the Order of Dominion intended to keep the helots under the Order's control.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Command and Control
Joining Darius, Kassandra worked with him to track down Dimokrates. As neither of them knew what the Ancient looked like, Kassandra decided to eavesdrop on a meeting between the Order and the Cult. Identifying Dimokrates, she tailed him and his guards to a nearby fort, where she assassinated the Ancient. She then recovered a letter from his body which revealed that the Order and the Cult maintained an uneasy alliance.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Ordering of the Kosmos
In the Spartan camp, Kassandra freed the captured Athenian general and his soldiers. After giving Darius' letter to the general, he agreed to help Kassandra fight the Order if she sank the Spartan fleet near Messenia. The misthios proceeded to do so, destroying the fleet with the Adrestia and securing an alliance with the general.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Spartan Dog
Meeting up with Darius to prepare the last step of their plan, Kassandra received a letter from the Order inviting her to go to the graves of Aipeia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Trap Is Set There, she met the Magus Gergis, who tried to explain the Order's goals to her, claiming that Kassandra had to die as she brought chaos wherever she went. While admiring an island near the coast of Messenia, Gergis offered to tell the misthios how Natakas had died and even let her decide his fate.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Last Magi
During her hunt of the Order in Messenia, Kassandra found a letter from Amorges demanding respect for his soldiers sent to Aipeia. She proceeded to track down said soldiers and give them the "respect" they were due.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Give Our Respects She also ran into Aiantides once again when she rescued him from Order soldiers who had captured him. After Aiantides claimed that he had nothing to repay her with, Kassandra let him choose between working for her on the Adrestia or leaving.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Favor
====Facing Amorges====
With the Order's control over Messenia crippled, Kassandra and Darius initiated their final attack to liberate the region and draw Amorges out of hiding. While the Athenians battled the Order's Spartan allies, Kassandra and Darius set fires in Aipeia to force the helots to flee, drawing the attention of the Ancients. After killing the guards, Kassandra interrogated a soldier who informed her that the Order's headquarters was located in the Andania Mine.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Smoke and Fury
As the Athenians were slaughtered by the Order's forces, Darius went to defend them while Kassandra traveled to the mine. After finding the archives of the Order, she was attacked by several Ancients, who revealed Amorges' location: the Temple of Zeus.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Smoke and Fury Dispatching her assailants, Kassandra proceeded to head to the temple and confronted Amorges.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Legacy of the First Blade
After dispatching the Ancients, Kassandra made her way to the temple to confront Amorges and get her son back. As she vowed to destroy the Order, Amorges revealed that his agents had already infiltrated all aspects of Greek society and would bring peace to the world. Declaring Kassandra to be a threat to true peace, Amorges got ready to fight her, but the two were soon joined by Darius, who demanded Elpidios' whereabouts.
As Amorges refused to disclose the child's location, Kassandra and Darius engaged him in a duel. Although the Ancient managed to hold his own against the two warriors for a time, he was eventually mortally wounded, before both he and Darius fell from the hill. Following them, Kassandra witnessed Darius reconciling with his former friend, who claimed that he had only sought the safety of mankind.
With his dying words, Amorges revealed that Elpidios was on a small island south of Messenia – the same island Gergis had previously shown to Kassandra – but warned that the Order could not be destroyed and would never stop hunting Kassandra, putting Elpidios in danger as long as he was with her. Going to the island, Kassandra and Darius met Elpidios' caretaker, Prince Darius of Persia, who willingly returned the child to his family. 
====Finding her son====
Kassandra was excited and relieved to be reunited with her son, but later understood that Amorges was right and that Elpidios would never be truly safe as long as he was with her. She thus decided to entrust him to Darius for his own safety, bidding farewell to her son and wrapping Natakas' blanket around him. Darius promised to keep his grandson safe and Kassandra watched as the last remannts of her family took a boat and sailed to Egypt.
Despite Amorges' death, the Order remained active in Messenia and so Kassandra took it upon herself to hunt down its remaining members in the region. On Gergis' body, she had found a letter from the Ancient Gaspar who claimed to have discovered a strange gate and secured an alliance with the Followers of Ares to investigate it. From a second letter she retrieved from the body of a Follower, Kassandra discovered Gaspar's hideout and killed her.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – The Order of Dominion
Using a clue left by Darius, Kassandra hunted an Ancient who disposed of the bodies of people killed by the Order. Heading to a Persian camp, Kassandra killed its captain and recovered a document, which revealed the Ancient's identity to be Artazostre. After killing her, she found a letter from a Daughter of Artemis indicating that a clue regarding the identity of another Ancient was located at their Pedasos Camp. Kassandra traveled to the camp and stole a letter which identified the final Ancient as Pithias, whom she proceed to assassinate, ending the Order of Dominion. 
Following Amorges' death, Kassandra took his broken sword to a blacksmith in Phokis, who was able to repair it using the adamantine in the medallions taken by the misthios from the Order members she had killed.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – Remnant of the Ancients
Kassandra also went back to Dyme to visit Natakas' grave and tell him about the events that had transpired. She then decided to recover several of Natakas' items, including the charm he had thrown into the sea, his old hunting bow, and Elpidios' blanket. Returning to the grave, she placed the charm and blanket on the grave while keeping the bow for herself.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline – No More Wine
===Fighting the Delian League===
====The Battle of Pylos====
Returning to Sparta in 425 BCE, Kassandra and Myrrine entered their old home for the first time in almost three decades. As they began to settle in, Brasidas came to ask for the misthios help to prepare an attack against the Athenians in Pylos, as there were rumors that the Athenians had a powerful warrior on their side. Deducing said warrior to be Alexios, Kassandra accepted and prepared to travel to Messenia. Before her departure, Myrrine asked her daughter to bring Alexios back to their family. 
As the Spartan and Athenian armies clashed at Pylos, Kassandra spotted Alexios after the latter had wounded Brasidas during the battle. The siblings fought using the powers of their respective Isu artifacts – the Spear of Leonidas in Kassandra's possession and the Sword of Damokles wielded by Alexios – but their duel came to a stalemate after a burning tree fell on Alexios and later Kassandra, rendering them both unconscious.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Battle of Pylos The Athenians ultimately won the battle, and Kassandra was taken captive and brought to a prison in Athens.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Doing Time
====The Periklean Circle====
Waking up in a cell, Kassandra got the chance to talk with Alexios before Kleon arrived and revealed himself to be the Sage of the Delian League branch of the Cult, having orchestrated Perikles' death to take over Athens. After ordering Alexios to leave, Kleon briefly talked with Kassandra before leaving his guards to deal with the misthios. Despite being unarmed, Kassandra easily defeated them, just as Barnabas and Sokrates broke into the prison to rescue her.
Upon being given back her equipment, Kassandra traveled to Perikles' former residence with Barnabas and Sokrates. There, alongside Aristophanes, Alkibiades, Herodotos and Hippokrates, they formed the Periklean Circle, a group dedicated to taking down Kleon and restoring democracy in Athens. Over the following year, the members of the Periklean Circle worked together to diminish Kleon's popularity by various means.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Resistance
With Sokrates, Kassandra exposed Kleon's lies regarding the revolt of Mytilene before the Athenian citizens.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Unearthing the Truth She also helped Aristophanes by protecting the actors Thespis and Aikaterine who were targeted by the Cult as they played in The Knights, which criticized Kleon.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – An Actor's Life for Me In the process, Kassandra killed the Cultist Rhexenor, who operated as an Athenian strategos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A-Musing Tale With that, the popularity of Kleon declined and he was forced to leave Athens and head to Amphipolis to try and conquer the city in an attempt to restore his reputation. As the Spartan forces in Amphipolis prepared for battle, Brasidas sent Kassandra a letter requesting her aid.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Knights
===Reuniting her family===
====The Battle of Amphipolis====
In August 422 BCE, Kassandra traveled to Amphipolis to aid Brasidas' Spartan forces against the attacking Athenian army commanded by Kleon. During the battle, she witnessed Brasidas being killed by Alexios and confronted her brother, though their duel was cut short when Alexios was hit in the back by an arrow fired by Kleon.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – We Will Rise
As the Cultist attempted to flee, Kassandra chased him to the shore, where the cornered Kleon tried to persuade her to join the Cult. However, Kassandra refused to listen to any more of his attempts at manipulation and ended his life.
On Kleon's body, she found a letter from the Ghost of Kosmos which revealed that the Cult's leader had organized Perikles' death to allow Kleon to unite the Greek cities under their control. Returning to the battlefield, Kassandra found no trace of Alexios' body, leaving his fate uncertain.
====Confrontation on Mount Taygetos====
Kassandra subsequently traveled back to Sparta to inform her mother of what had happened in Amphipolis. While Myrrine believed Alexios to be dead, Kassandra decided to return to the place where it had all begun – Mount Taygetos – claiming she could not run from her past any longer. Myrrine offered to accompany her and the two rode up to the cliffside, finding Alexios standing near the edge of the cliff.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Where It All Began They both tried to reason with him to leave the Cult and rejoin his family, but Alexios had lost the will to live and claimed he could not be what they wanted him to be.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey novel – Chapter 18
Tired of reasoning with him and resentful of his actions towards her friends and family, Kassandra realized that her brother was beyond saving. In a desperate move, Alexios feinted towards Myrrine with a blade, forcing Kassandra to fight him and kill him. She then recovered his sword and armor, as well as a letter from the Ghost of Kosmos which reaveled that the Cult's leader had manipulated all other members against each other.
After the tragedy of losing her brother, Kassandra organized a family dinner in their old home in Sparta with Myrrine, Nikolaos and Stentor.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Dinner in Sparta She also returned to Perikles' residence in Athens to celebrate with the Periklean Circle their victory over Kleon and the Cult, reminiscing of Kassandra's adventures and paying tribute to their fallen friends.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – We Remember As the Athenian general and politician Nicias, a member of the Circle, opened peace negotiations with Sparta, the Peloponnesian War came to an end.
===Destroying the Cult of Kosmos===
====Cutting branches====
During her travels throughout Greece, Kassandra sought to kill every member of the Cult as revenge for what they had done to her family. She assassinated Sotera in Megaris and Midas in Argos, both members of the Eyes of Kosmos branch of the Cult, and learned the location of their Sage, Nyx the Shadow. After killing her in Athens, she retrieved a document from her body which proved that the Ghost of Kosmos influenced Athenian politics.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Eyes of Kosmos
Kassandra also tracked down the members of The Silver Vein branch. She killed the Centaur in Euboea, the Chimera on Andros island, the Silver Griffin on Prasonisia Island, and Machaon in Patrai. Using clues she collected from each of them, she was able to deduce that the branch's Sage was Polemon and that he hid in the Teichos of Herakles in Achaia. Infiltrating the fortress, Kassandra killed Polemon and recovered a letter which detailed the Ghost's plans to bring about a new era.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Silver Vein
On the Adrestia, Kassandra explored the seas to hunt down the members of the Gods of the Aegean Sea branch. She sank the ships of Asterion, the Octopus and the Mytilenian Shark. During the naval battle for the conquest of the Obsidian Islands, Kassandra attacked the Eos, the ship of the Cultist Sokos, and destroyed it. In Messara, Ptolemaios hired Kassandra to kill the leader of the region. Upon the job's completion, she discovered that the leader's son, Melanthos, was a Cultist.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Gortyn Out of Hand She subsequently located him and sank his ship, the Kronos. With the Cult's fleet destroyed, Kassandra tracked down the Gods of the Aegean Sea's Sage, the Hydra, who operated near the coast of Messenia. After killing him aboard his ship, the Hyperion, she found a note that revealed the Ghost to be a woman.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Gods of the Aegean Sea
Despite Kleon's death, the Delian League branch remained operational. Kassandra received a letter from the rebel leader Kyra to help her and the Spartan Thaletas liberate the Silver Islands from the control of the Cultist Podarkes.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Trouble in Paradise Arriving in Mykonos, Kassandra agreed to help but discovered that Podarkes was Kyra's father.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – "M" for Murder Regardless, she killed him, liberating the islands.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Hades, Meet Podarkes As the islands' population celebrated, Kyra gave her father a proper send-off.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Night to Remember
On Chios, Kassandra was hired by the merchant Thais to kill Kodros, the corrupt leader of the Petrified Islands and secretly a Cultist.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Chip on Your Shoulder In Lemnos, she was contacted by Mikkos, the caretaker of Barnabas' nephew Neleus. As the young man was sick, he asked Kassandra to help him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Tough Love Investigating, she discovered that the leader of the Hephaistos Islands, Iobates, was a Cultist and had poisoned Neleus after the latter had uncovered his plan to create an army using the athletes of Thasos. Kassandra killed Iobates, liberating the Hephaistos Islands from his rule.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Retribution
Tracking down the members of the Worshippers of the Bloodline branch, Kassandra killed Zoisme and the leader of the Followers of Ares, Harpalos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Worshippers of the Bloodline On Kythera, she was contacted by the priestess Diona who told her that the Cult wanted to take over the island.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Place in the Kosmos Kassandra helped her but later discovered that Diona was a Cultist who sought to kill her twin sister Eritha to become the High Priestess of Aphrodite. Kassandra subsequently killed Diona, ending her plot.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – By the Fates 
In Pephka, she met Leiandros, who told her she could fight the Minotaur and gain a large sum of drachmae.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Minotour De Force After completing three pre-trials which were actually tourist traps,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – What Lies Below the Surface Kassandra entered the Minotaur's cave and discovered that Leiandros disguised himself as the creature to scare tourists, although his hand was forced by the Cult, who had kidnapped his daughter Amara.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Cashing In On the Cow Kassandra saved Amara and learned that the plot was the doing of the Cultist Melite,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – No More Bull whom she proceeded to kill. She then located the Sage Iokaste on Chios and killed her, recovering a note which revealed the Ghost was using religion to influence the Greek population.
The Heroes of the Cult branch was the armed fist of the Cult. Kassandra hunted down one of its members, Okytos, in Attika.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Heroes of the Cult While fighting in the Pephka Arena, she dueled and killed the champion Belos, who was secretly a Cultist.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – They Just Want Cruelty During the conquest of Achaia, Kassandra fought Sparta's champion, the Cultist Pallas, on the battlefield and killed him. After discovering that the branch's Sage was Exekias the Legend, the best misthios in Greece, Kassandra tracked him down and killed him. On his body, she found a letter from the Ghost in which she expressed her desire to be free. 
With each Cultist she killed, Kassandra recovered more of the fragments that made up the Cult's Pyramid in the Sanctuary of Kosmos. After collecting enough fragments, she would occasionally return to the Ancient Forge on Andros to upgrade the Spear of Leonidas, increasing its power.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Upgrade the Spear
====Uncovering the Ghost====
After eliminating all members of the Cult, only its leader, the mysterious Ghost, remained. Kassandra returned to the Sanctuary of Kosmos in Delphi to confront her, but found only the Pyramid. As she approached it, she heard the voice of her mother calling out to her and seemingly inviting her to touch the artifact. After some hesitation, she did so and was met by a vision of her father Pythagoras explaining that the Cult originated as a splinter-group of the Cult of Hermes, which worshipped the balance between order and chaos, whereas the members of the Cult of Kosmos believed in using chaos to control Greece.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A Fresh Start
Pythagoras continued, explaining that Kassandra had always been destined to destroy the Cult and restore the balance between chaos and order. She was then shown visions of the future, revealing that although a new group would try to impose order without freedom, another faction would rise in response to fight for liberty, ensuring balance is maintained. Finally, Kassandra was shown one last vision from a distant future of her passing the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus to an unknown woman, as Pythagoras claimed that the world still needed her.
As Kassandra withdrew her hand from the Pyramid, she was suddenly approached by Aspasia, who revealed herself to be the Ghost. Though Kassandra was furious to learn that her ally had been leading the Cult all along, Aspasia explained that she had lost control of the Cult to Deimos, who corrupted the other members' goals. Upon meeting Kassandra, Aspasia realized that she would be the one to end the Cult and so helped her from the shadows.
Aspasia then revealed that she had also looked into the Pyramid and had seen a vision of the future: of Kassandra destroying the Cult and the Pyramid, and of her creating a rational and perfect society under a philosophical king. As Aspasia wanted to carry out her plan to create this new republic, she asked Kassandra to join her. However, the misthios refused, though she allowed Aspasia to leave the Sanctuary with her life. After destroying the Pyramid with her spear, Kassandra left the Sanctuary as well.
===Sealing Atlantis===
====The Sphinx's riddles====
During her journey, Kassandra also searched for the four Atlantis artifacts needed to seal the Gateway to the Lost City. Pythagoras had given her half of an Isu medallion and advised her to go to Boeotia to meet his ally, the historian Gorgias. Meeting him at the Lair of the Sphinx, Gorgias informed her that his apprentice Pibos had the other half of the medallion but he had gone missing. Searching for him, Kassandra found Pibos dead, devoured by a lion. Realizing that the lion had eaten the medallion's other half, she slew the animal and recovered the missing medallion piece.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Lore of the Sphinx
With the complete medallion in-hand, Kassandra returned to Lair of the Sphinx, only to find the Sphinx statue missing and Gorgias dead. She inserted the medallion into the place where the statue had been located, but nothing happened. Returning at night, she tried again and a giant Sphinx appeared before her. The creature told Kassandra that she needed to solve three riddles to receive her artifact, but the cost of answering any riddle incorrectly was death.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Awaken the Myth
Kassandra accepted the Sphinx's challenge and answered the riddles, with the answers corresponding to a series of symbols around the lair. She activated the correct symbols and a flash of light killed the Sphinx, allowing the misthios to claim a glowing feather from its body, which then turned into a metallic sphere while the Sphinx took the form of a decayed human corpse.
====Fighting the Cyclops====
Searching for clues to the location of another artifact on Kythera Island, Kassandra was tasked by a man to free Empedokles, a supposedly living god who had been imprisoned on the orders of the priestesses of Aphrodite. As she rescued him, Empedokles suggested that Kassandra accompany him to Olympos to meet his fellow gods.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – A God Among Men Before they could depart, however, Empedokles informed Kassandra that they required a key which had been stolen from him. The misthios tracked down the thief and recovered the key, discovering it was another medallion.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Left to Dye
Reuniting with Empedokles on the Isle of Thisvi, Kassandra used the medallion to open an Isu gate and access a cave where the cyclops Brontes resided. Empedokles was swiftly crushed to death by the cyclops, but Kassandra managed to slay the beast after a fight. Similarly to the Sphinx, Brontes transformed into a decayed human corpse after Kassandra took its eye, which turned out to be a spherical artifact.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Stairway to Olympos 
During her travels, Kassandra fought and killed two other cyclopes: Steropes on Andros island and Arges on the volcanic island of Nisyros, though she did not retrieve the artifacts they carried.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Lightning Bringer
====Slaying the Minotaur====
In Krete, Kassandra investigated the ruins of Knossos Palace, encountering a young boy, Ardos, who was looking for his father Nikios, who had disappeared while exploring the labyrinth under the palace. Ardos showed Kassandra the entrance to the labyrinth and she promised to help him find his father.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Myths and Minotaurs Learning that Nikios had been accompanied by three men, Kassandra went to interrogate one of them, the Collector, who revealed that he and the others had sought to kill the legendary Minotaur using Theseus' armor for protection. However, they all fled before they had the chance to face the creature, with the exception of Nikios, who stayed behind. The Collector gave Kassandra part of the armor and told her to find the other pieces if she wished to face the Minotaur.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Recollections
While searching for the Swordfish, one of the men who had accompanied Nikios, Kassandra learned that he was a criminal who controlled Heraklion as well as a former member of the Cult. When she found his hideout, the Swordfish believed that Kassandra was Deimos and attacked her due to wanting to leave the Cult behind him. Kassandra killed him, though not before he revealed what had happened inside the labyrinth and that Nikios was dead.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Blood in the Water The final man who had accompanied Nikios was Ardos' caretaker, whom Kassandra discovered had been kidnapped by the Cult in order to lure her into a trap using a decoy. She survived the trap and rescued the real caretaker, who informed that Ardos had stolen the key to the labyrinth.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Full Circle
After convincing Ardos to give her the labyrinth key,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Seeking Answers and upon acquiring the remaning pieces of Theseus' armor, Kassandra ventured into the labyrinth. There, she found Nikios' dead body and faced the Minotaur in battle, ultimately managing to slay the creature. She then broke one of its horns which transformed into a spherical artifact like the ones before it, while the Minotaur itself turned out to be yet another decayed human corpse. Returning to the surface, Kassandra gave Ardos his father's ring and bid him farewell.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – He Waits
====Facing the Writhing Dread====
On Lesbos island, Kassandra witnessed a woman named Bryce cornered by an angry mob who accused her of making a sacrifice for the Writhing Dread. Bryce explained that she had lost her lover Ligeia during their hunt of the creature, and Kassandra agreed to help her look for Ligeia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Romancing the Stone Garden Traveling together to the Dread Ruins, they found the Petrified Temple closed.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Love's Long Shadow As they required a key to open it, Kassandra went to the village of the Daughters of Artemis on Chios and recovered the key.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Hard to Artemis
Kassandra also interrogated Zetes the Retired, a misthios who claimed to have killed the Writhing Dead. He explained that he had been paid by the Cult to recover an artifact and that he slew the monster with his spear after it had killed his friends. As Kassandra needed his weapon, she fought Zetes and took it from him following his defeat. On him, she also found a note revealing that it was not Zetes but Ligeia who had killed the Writhing Dread, only to transform into the creature herself upon touching its artifact.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Heavy is the Spear
Returning to the Petrified Temple, Kassandra entered the Isu complex accompanied by Bryce. When they found the Writhing Dread, Bryce recognized it to be Ligeia, only to be petrified by the creature. Kassandra proceeded to fight the monster and killed it before taking a snake from its head, which was in fact the artifact she sought. She then paid her respects to the petrified Bryce before leaving the temple.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Writhing Dead 
At some point after killing the Writhing Dread, Kassandra met a woman who claimed to have created an elixir to reverse the effects of petrifaction. The misthios hoped to use it to save Bryce and so helped the woman acquire the ingredients needed to make the elixir, only to discover it was all a lie. As the woman then tried to kill Kassandra, the misthios returned the favor.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Elixir
====Inheriting the Staff====
Returning to the Gateway to the Lost City, Kassandra placed all the artifacts she had collected in their corresponding pillars. This activated a series of messages from the Isu Aletheia in which she spoke about her civilization, the Olympos Project, the Human-Isu War and the Great Catastrophe. The Isu also asked Pythagoras to relinquish the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus he had in his possession. In her last message, Aletheia spoke directly with someone who was not there, much to both Kassandra and Pythagoras' confusion.
As Kassandra asked Pythagoras what they needed to do in order to seal Atlantis, her father claimed that the Staff could do it, but he was hesitant to relinquish it, believing that all the Isu knowledge he could learn from it could change the world. Seeing that Pythagoras was turning away from his initial goal, Kassandra tried to convince him to abandon his pride and protect humanity by sealing away the secrets of Atlantis.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ancient Revelations
Following an argument, Kassandra ultimately obtained the Staff, which immediately killed Pythagoras, as the Staff's powers had greatly extended his lifespan. After paying her respects to her father and using the Staff to seal Atlantis, Kassandra returned to the Adrestia. There, she confirmed to Herodotos and Barnabas that Atlantis was real, but made them promise to not tell anyone else about it. Afterwards, the trio reflected on their adventures together before preparing for their next journey.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Atlantis Destroyed
===Trials of Atlantis===
====Becoming the Keeper====
While exploring the Island of Triton, Kassandra was contacted by a projection of Aletheia, whose consciousness was stored inside the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus. The Isu explained that Kassandra had become the new Keeper of the Staff and had to protect it until she met the "Heir of the Memories". Kassandra accepted her new duty and Aletheia tasked her to find Theras as he knew the location of three symbols intended for the Heir.
Arriving in Seriphos, Kassandra saved Theras from several guards of the Cult of Kosmos who had captured him. He explained to her that Phidias had been killed and that the Cult interrogated him about symbols he had discovered in three tombs. Theras then gave Kassandra a map to help her find the symbols.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Lost Tales of Greece – Finding Theras
Returning to Olympia, Kassandra discovered that Theras had told the truth about Phidias. On his brutalized corpse, she found the scytale he had tasked her to help decipher year ago. With the symbols she found on the statues of Zeus in Olympia, Aphrodite in Kythera, Theagenes in Thasos and Poseidon in Samos, Kassandra could read the scytale, which revealed the location of a secret room in the Stronghold of Lemnos. Heading there, she unlocked the door and recovered the Atlantean Blade, a weapon created by the Isu.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Journey's End 
Later, Kassandra went to the tombs of Agamemnon in Argolis, Eteokles in Attika and Orion in Boetia. Each time, she conversed with Aletheia who explained Kassandra's role as the Keeper and told her that she would help the Heir by standing before the tombs.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Lost Tales of Greece – Three Symbols Entombed Returning to Atlantis, Kassandra opened the throne room with her blood and the Staff. There, Aletheia explained that she had created simulations to help her learn how to control the Staff through the Keeper's Insights. Kassandra agreed to pass the trials and accessed to the first simulation.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – The Isu Beckon
====Rebellion in Elysium====
Kassandra awakened in a new realm, greeted by the sight of the dog Ros. Standing up, she was attacked by Isu soldiers commanded by an Isu woman.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Trials of the Keeper After defeating them, Kassandra met Hermes Trismegistus, who recognized her as Pythagoras' descendant as she had his Staff. He explained that she was in the Fields of Elysium which was ruled by Persephone, Hades' wife.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Welcome to Elysium 
After Kassandra told him about the trials, Hermes said that the only way to leave Elysium was through Persephone and directed her to speak to Hekate, Persephone's advisor. The Isu also suggested that Kassandra could prove herself to Persephone if she smothered a rebellion in the Deukalion. Finally, Hermes revealed that Kassandra could empower the Staff through the Perceptions of Hermes, unlocking new capacities.
Later, Kassandra met Adonis, a living human forced to stay in Elysium as Persephone had fallen in love with him. Wanting to rejoin his lover Aphrodite, Adonis led the human rebellion against Persephone. Kassandra decided to help him, attacking the Fortress of the Three Sisters. She destroyed the Torches of Hypnos which controlled humans and killed the overseer Aegea. This act convinced Adonis to ally with Kassandra.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – A Lover and A Fighter She also killed the overseers Iphigenia and Atalanta and destroyed other Torches and resources, decreasing Persephone's power in Elysium.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Give 'Em Hades
Arriving at Pheraphassa Point, Kassandra met Persephone who apologized for having sent her soldiers after her earlier. The Isu then informed her that Orphnaeus, one of her husband's horses, had disappeared from her stable. Fearing to be accused of stealing the beast, Persephone tasked Kassandra to find the horse. After investigating, Kassandra found that Orphnaeus had escaped before being taken care of by the blind man Mulios. After choosing between leaving the horse to Mulios, returning it to the stable, or giving it to Adonis, Kassandra informed Persephone that she had solved the problem.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Dark Horse
Later, Kassandra met Hekate who offered to help her leave Elysium, even if it meant going behind Persephone's back. The Isu gave her the key to Persephone's hidden sanctuary and tasked her to recover Persephone's journal to discover where the gate to the Underworld was located. Returning with the journal, Kassandra gave it to Hekate. After reading it, Hekate didn't discover the location of the gate but advised Kassandra to decrease Persephone's power in Elysium to have access to the gate.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Sudden and New
Kassandra also met with Hermes and followed him on a tour of the Minos' Faith, during which the Isu explained how to unlock the full power of the Staff through the Keeper's Insights.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – The Keeper and Key Maker After finding one in the region and using it, Kassandra tracked down other Keeper's Insights around Elysium to increase the Staff's power.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – A Growing Perception Later, as Hermes searched for a bodyguard for Persephone, he tasked Kassandra to free Kyros of Zarax from the rebels. When she rescued Kyros, he revealed that he was secretly working for the rebels and that his capture was a ruse to deceive Hermes so that he would recruit him. Kassandra subsequently brought Kyros before Hermes without revealing the truth.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – The Keeper and Kyros
When humans stole Hermes' recipe to the eternal flame, a powerful weapon, the Isu tasked Kassandra to recover it. After killing the thieves, Kassandra retrieved the recipe and decided between giving it to Hermes or Adonis.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – The Keeper and the Flame Later, Kassandra had to choose between helping Hermes kill the leaders of the human rebellion or breaking her alliance with the Isu.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – The Keeper, a Killer
As Adonis tasked Kassandra to free humans from Persephone's influence, she learned that the Staff could liberate their captive minds. Afterwards, Adonis informed her of an old Spartan warrior who could help the rebellion if convinced. Meeting the warrior, Kassandra discovered that it was her grandfather Leonidas. After a fight to test her combat skills, the defeated king agreed to join the rebellion.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Dead Kings and Pretty Things Later, Kassandra continued to use the Staff of Hermes to free other humans from their mind-control, who joined the rebellion.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Free Their Minds, the Rest Will Follow
Hekate tasked Kassandra to meet the orator Isidore who could spread the message among humans to join the rebellion. The orator accepted to help the misthios if she rescued several captured villagers and freed her son Theron from his indoctrination. After accomplishing this task, Isidore became an ally of the rebellion.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Good News Later, Hekate ordered Kassandra to recover the last Lethe's water for a woman who promised to help the rebellion. After recovering the Lethe, Kassandra met the woman, Almatheia, who wanted to forget her dead lover, forcing Kassandra to choose between giving her the Lethe or destroying it.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Have Another Drink
Upon hearing rumors on Lethe's water entered circulation, Persephone began to suspect Hekate. Kassandra herself also started having doubts about Hekate's true motives. Regardless, she decided to work with her once more to decrease Persephone's power. At Hekate's suggestion, she poisoned the wine at a symposium of Persephone's Devotees to kill them.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Popular
When Adonis learned of a traitor within the rebellion who gave information to Persephone, he managed to identify two suspects, a blacksmith and a messenger, and tasked Kassandra to kill one of them.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – Persephone's Little Birds During an audience with Persephone, the Isu made a deal with Kassandra: bringing back one of her deceased loved ones in exchange for killing Leonidas to hinder the rebellion.

Later, as Kassandra went to Hekate's hovel, she found Persephone waiting for her. As the Isu no longer trusted Hekate, she tasked Kassandra to spy on her during a secret meeting. The misthios discovered that Hekate was meeting with Hermes who confronted her about Kassandra's actions. From their conversation, Kassandra learned that the key to the gate of the Underworld was the collar of Persephone's dog, Ros. Before she could act on this information, however, Kassandra had to defend her actions in front of Persephone, after Hekate pinned the blame for all the recent problems in Elysium on the misthios.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – No Good Deed
Once Adonis decided to move forward with his rebellion, Kassandra joined him and his men as they attacked Persephone's palace. Defeating her army, Kassandra confronted Hermes who was thrown away by Persephone as he had failed her. In the throne room, Persephone decided Hekate's fate and how Adonis would leave Elysium. Kassandra tried to reason with Persephone and convince her to leave Elysium, but she refused. Opening the gate to the Underworld, the Isu threw an artifact into the pit and Ros followed it. She then used her powers to immobilize Kassandra and banish her to the Underworld.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium – The Rebellion's Uprising
====Bringing order in the Underworld====
Awakening after her long fall into the Underworld, Kassandra discovered that the artifact had transformed Ros into Cerberos. Forced to fight the monster, she killed the three-headed dog and recovered the artifact. While exploring the Underworld, she met Hades, who was angry that the misthios had killed his dog, leaving the gates to the Underworld with no guardian.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades – Guardian of the Gates
The Isu subsequently tasked Kassandra to find new guardians and to help Charon restore order to the realm as the prisoners of Tartaros were escaping into the Underworld. In exchange, Hades promised to help her fulfill her destiny.
On her way to see the ferryman, Kassandra saw several prisoners of Tartaros escaping from a rift. She killed them by activating the rift which weakened her. Meeting Charon, he informed Kassandra that she needed the Armor of the Fallen to pass through the Tartaros Veil and end the threat of the Shaded.

====Dikastes of Atlantis====
Looking around her, Kassandra discovered that she was in Atlantis, Poseidon's realm where Isu and humans lived together. Poseidon proceeded to explain that every seven years the city began a new cycle if judged to be imperfect, and that he chose Kassandra to be his Dikastes and enforce judgments in Atlantis to prolong the cycle. 
Poseidon also informed Kassandra about the Keeper's Insights around the city which could increase her link with the Staff but also unlocked the sixth sense of the Isu: knowledge. While learning about the duties of a Dikastes, Poseidon told Kassandra that experiments on humans were forbidden in Atlantis. 
While exploring Atlantis, Kassandra met Atlas, Poseidon's elder son and Archon of Atlantis. He tasked her to help three of his brothers who had issues with the human population under their control.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Burden of Leadership The first brother Kassandra met was Gadiros, who tried to entertain the humans through games to keep them calm.

After helping the three Archons, Kassandra returned to Atlas, only to discover that the Isu had captured his brothers and wished to execute them for their mistakes in ruling humans. Kassandra tried to convince him to spare them. After the judgment, Kassandra received a key fragment from Atlas.
During her time in Atlantis, Kassandra solved the quarrel between the Isu Neokles and Melitta about the Garden of Triton.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – The Birds and the Bees When the human Lyra was accused of murder, Kassandra investigated the case and discovered that Lyra inadvertently transformed into a werewolf.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – In Dreams Kassandra also met Elpis, Atlas' human lover, and helped her to steal adamant as part of Elpis' plan to transform herself into an Isu to ease the relationship between Isu and humans.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Most Adamantly Ultimately, this resulted in the death of one of the lovers.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Blood Gets In Your Eyes

Tired of her duty, Kassandra decided to rest when she was approached by a human boy, Alkon, who was looking for his parents.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Good From Far, Far From Good Kassandra decided to investigate, interrogating the Isu Harbormaster and learning that the Isu Xarios had taken Alkon's mother for something called the "Olympos Project."Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Sixth Sense of Sympathy
In the Atlantis Latomia, Kassandra interrogated the Isu Foreman who told her that Alkon's father had been taken to the experiment chamber at the Garden of Kymopoleia.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Through the Cracks She informed Alkon of her progress before confronting Xarios. After killing him, she acquired a key fragment.
Combining this fragment with Atlas' key fragment, Kassandra was able to enter the experiment chamber. There, she found test tubes containing replicas of the mythical creatures she had fought in Greece, among other deformed creatures. As she heard the voice of Aita, the Isu scientist leading the Olympos Project, talking to her, Kassandra was shocked to find Alkon's parents and other imprisoned humans, which confirmed her fears: all the creatures were in fact mutated humans.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – Deadly Little Secrets
As Aita revealed himself, Kassandra reminded him of Poseidon's law forbidding experimentation on humans and threw her spear at the Isu in anger, but discovered it was just a hologram. Aita then left her with the choice of freeing the prisoners or seeing his greatest achievement at the cost of the humans' lives. After making her choice, Kassandra returned to Poseidon to inform him of her discovery.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis – The Fate of Atlantis
However, their conversation was interrupted by Aita and his wife Juno, who explained that they had created the hybrid beasts to help in a future war against humanity as Poseidon was more preoccupied with the Great Catastrophe. The couple then stated that they had considered using Kassandra as a template for their hybrids, but seeing her as too human, they created the Hekatonchires and released it to suppress any future rebellion. While Poseidon restrained Juno and Aita, Kassandra went to face the Hekatonchires and killed it, recovering the artifact which had transformed it.
Even with Juno and Aita imprisoned, Kassandra felt that humanity was not safe in Atlantis. Poseidon agreed with her judgment and explained that she could end Atlantis' cycle forever by using the Staff and the artifacts she had taken from Cerberos and Hekatonchires. As Kassandra and Poseidon combined the Pieces of Eden, water began to flood the city. While the citizens began to flee, Poseidon decided to stay and die alongside his family as they had failed to fill the gap between Isu and humans. The Isu then bid farewell to Kassandra, reassuring her that she was the best person to keep the Staff.
====Passing the trials====
Awakening back in the throne room, Kassandra spoke with Aletheia who congratulated her for passing the trials. As the Isu explained that they were based on her own memories, holograms of Leonidas, Brasidas and Phoibe appeared, revealing that one purpose of the trials was to teach Kassandra to say goodbye to her friends and family. When the misthios asked if her loved ones were real in the simulations, Aletheia only said they had always been with her. 
Afterwards, holograms of Persephone, Hades and Poseidon appeared, as Aletheia proceeded to explain each teaching of the trials: Elysium was doomed as its ruler searched for total control, the Underworld was devastated by chaos, and Atlantis proved the flawed nature of the Isu. With that, Aletheia affirmed that Kassandra's role was to keep the powers of the Staff, not to use them to rule the world, but to protect it. Swearing to uphold her role as the Keeper and use her powers for the betterment of humanity, Kassandra left Atlantis.
===Last vacation on Korfu===
====A kind of treasure hunt====
In 421 BCE, Kassandra returned to Kephallonia, where she met a woman at the dock who was advertising vacations on the island of Korfu. Exhausted by her adventures and pressured by her new responsibility as the Keeper, Kassandra decided to take a break and went to Korfu alone. Enjoying the easy life on the island, she decided to stay there, drinking and napping all day.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – A Great Escape
After six months, Kassandra was found by Barnabas and Herodotos, who had been searching for her after her departure. As her friends were concerned about her new sedentary lifestyle, they informed her about an ancient treasure hidden on the island in the hopes of re-awakening her spirit of adventure. Kassandra reluctantly agreed to search for the treasure to please Barnabas and Herodotos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – No Rest For the Misthios
Following the first clue given by her friends, Kassandra located the next one. As the clue contained references to her adventures, Kassandra understood that her friends had organized the treasure hunt. Following the clue to the beach, Kassandra was approached by pirates. Believing they were actors hired by Barnabas and Herodotos, Kassandra fought them, only to end up knocked out by one of them.
Awakening in a cell without her equipment, Kassandra was interrogated by a pirate who searched for treasure. Realizing that he was not an actor, Kassandra concluded that there was a real treasure hidden on Korfu and decided to find it before the pirates. After escaping from the cell, she recovered her gear along with a document written in Doric. 
Meeting her friends, they admitted that they had organized the treasure hunt before Kassandra told them about her encounter with the pirates. As Herodotos read the document she had stolen, he discovered that a key was hidden in a sunken temple on the island's coast. Kassandra went to recover the key while her friends traveled to the Korkyra Polis to meet a colleague of Herodotos as he was a professor who could read Doric.
====Finding the Apple of Eden====
After recovering the key, Kassandra went to the professor's house in Korkyra but found no sign of the professor or her friends. Finding evidence that they had been abducted by pirates, Kassandra went to their warehouse. While she did not find her friends there either, she learned that the pirates were stocking marbles and decided to investigate a nearby quarry. There, she discovered the professor's corpse and a note from the pirates' captain demanding the key she had recovered in exchange for Herodotos' life.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – Not All Treasure Should Be Found
At the meeting point at the Overgrown ruins, Kassandra confronted the pirate captain who explained that he was searching for a treasure hidden on Korfu by a treasure hunter centuries ago. After giving the key to the captain and making sure Herodotos was safe, Kassandra was betrayed by the captain, who ordered his men to kill the misthios and her friend.
Upon defeating them, Kassandra followed the captain as he recovered the treasure: a golden orb. Becoming mad after touching the artifact, the captain killed his men and used its powers against Kassandra, though the misthios ultimately prevailed and killed him. When she approached the orb, it interacted with her spear, resulting in an explosion which sent the orb flying to the northern side of the island and depowered the spear.
Reuniting with Herodotos and Barnabas, Kassandra informed them of the true nature of the treasure and the fact that it had depowered her spear. After her friend left, Kassandra was contacted by Aletheia who asked her to go to the Tomb of Phaiax. There, the Isu spoke with her, explaining that she could not repair the Spear of Leonidas before showing her a holographic map of the world, with various locations highlighted.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – A Message Delivered
Aletheia then claimed that, as the Keeper, it was Kassandra's duty to recover dangerous Isu artifacts from those locations before they fell into the wrong hands. However, Kassandra refused, not wanting to abandon her friends in Greece.
====Destroying the Apple====
Joining Herodotos, the historian told Kassandra that Barnabas had gone to recover the orb, hoping to use it to repair her spear. Fearing for her quartermaster's life, Kassandra went to the crash site of the artifact, but found no sign of Barnabas or the orb. Investigating the area, she found a group of pirates and freed their hostages, who informed her that a one-eyed man had destroyed their farm. Recognizing her friend, Kassandra followed his trail to Kassiope.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – Power Corrupts All
At the Temple of Zeus, Barnabas prayed to be cured after the atrocities he had committed under the orb's influence. Kassandra tried to convince him to hand over the artifact, but Barnabas had become too corrupted by it and refused, leaving the misthios with no choice but to fight her friend. After defeating Barnabas, she forcefully separated him from the orb, leaving his right arm burned.
As her friend returned to normal, Kassandra chastised him for his actions and explained to him that she was immortal. As she expressed her fear to have lost him forever, Barnabas told her that what mattered was to make the most out of the present. Leaving the temple, Kassandra was again contacted by Aletheia, who told her that she had accomplished her duty as the Keeper by saving her friend from the orb and that her task would lead her to many places but would ultimately bring peace to the world. 
====Leaving Greece====
During her exploration of Korfu, Kassandra eventually recovered the treasure her friends had intended her to find. In a treasure chest near her vacation house, she found a new set of sails for the Adrestia with the image of two ravens.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – A Kind of Treasure Hunt
Returning to her vacation house, Kassandra drank with Herodotos and Barnabas. After Barnabas accidentally let it slip that Kassandra was immortal, she gestured to him to stop while Herodotos misinterpreted his words as meaning that the misthios would live on through the stories of her triumphs. Afterwards, Kassandra decided to inform her friend that she had to leave Greece for an unspecified task, and invited Barnabas to accompany her, a proposal he gladly accepted.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – A New Horizon
As Kassandra bid farewell to Herodotos, he gifted her a scroll of his Histories and promised to write about her. In turn, she gifted him the depowered Spear of Leonidas as a memento. When Herodotos asked where Kassandra would travel first, she responded that Egypt had always fascinated her while looking at the horizon.
===Life as the Keeper===
====The Thirty Tyrants====
Despite the end of the Peloponnesian War, the Greek city-states remained hostile with one another and eventually resumed fighting. Returning to Greece around 404 BCE, Kassandra became caught up in one of the Peloponnesian War's final conflicts,Assassin's Creed: Nexus VR when a Spartan oligarchy of Thirty Tyrants was installed in Athens and ruled with iron fists during their eight-month reign.
Around this time, she also fashioned herself a Hidden Blade like the one Darius had once wielded, though she opted to wear it under her wrist.
====Search for Isu artifacts====
After leaving Greece, Kassandra devoted herself to tracking down various Pieces of Eden around the world like Aletheia had instructed her to do. After both Barnabas and Ikaros eventually died from natural causes, she was left to continue her mission alone. In each area she visited, she would not remain for long in order to prevent herself from attracting attention or making bonds.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – Tossing and Turning
Thanks to her immortality granted by the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, Kassandra would live for centuries and witness the rise and fall of many great leaders. Traveling to Egypt at some point following its conquest by Alexander the Great, Kassandra visited Alexandria, the country's new capital. Entering the Great Library, she placed the manuscript Herodotos had given to her many years ago among other works on the shelves, preserving his stories amongst the city's residents.
In the late 3rd century BCE, Kassandra encountered a Chinese youxia by the name of Wei Yu, who had come to the Mediterranean in search of information on his disciple's mysterious cirumstances. Wei Yu aided Kassandra in recovering a stone tablet from a Roman general during a battle between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginians led by Hannibal in the . After Wei Yu killed the general and acquired the tablet, Kassandra provided the youxia with a series of scrolls that she believed could help Wei Yu to understand his disciple's condition, in addition to a dagger as gift for the latter.Assassin's Creed: Jade – A Mediterranean Expedition
At some point between the 1st century BCE and the 9th century CE, Kassandra became acquainted with the Hidden Ones, a group co-founded by her descendant Amunet to safeguard peace and humanity's freedom and fight the growing influence of the Order of the Ancients. Sharing their goals, Kassandra would gain a number of friends among the Hidden Ones.
====Journey to the Isle of Skye====
Around 887, Kassandra traveled to the Isle of Skye in the Kingdom of the Isles to recover an Apple of Eden. When she arrived on the island, the artifact activated due to Kassandra's high concentration of Isu DNA, plaguing the local population with nightmares and creating a deep fog over the island.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – Night and Day
While searching for clues around a church, Kassandra found a group of dead villagers who had killed each other after being driven mad by the Apple's powers. During her investigation, she was confronted by the Norse jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir from England, who had come to investigate the nightmares. As the two dueled each other, they each saw that the other had a Hidden Blade and understood that they were in some way aligned with the Hidden Ones. 
Ending their fight, Kassandra explained that she had come to retrieve the artifact which was causing the nightmares and driving people insane. Eivor then told her that the seer Valka had visions indicating that her friend Randvi, who resembled Kassandra, was the source of the curse. On Aletheia's advice, Kassandra reluctantly allied with Eivor to find the artifact and end the nightmares, even though the Viking suspected she was behind the curse.
Investigating the church, they destroyed the cursed sign, dissipating the fog in the area. After leaving the church through a cave, the two warriors were attacked by mad villagers who accused Kassandra of provoking the curse. After defeating them, Kassandra explained to Eivor that the artifact had been left by old gods but hid the fact that she had inadvertently activated it. She then decided to take another look around the church to familiarize herself with the area, telling Eivor to meet her at the village of Tobhta.
On her way to Tobhta, Kassandra spotted Fairy Glen's standing stones and decided to investigate them with Eivor once the Viking met up with her. On the road, Kassandra cryptically told Eivor about her past and explained that the artifact was dangerous, after the Viking expressed interest in taking it for herself. Arriving at the standing stones, Eivor used her gift to see hidden drawings on the megalith, which she then reproduced. Analyzing the symbols, the two warriors discovered they formed a map of the island with several locations marked.
Deciding to investigate one of the marked locations, they traveled to the Cave of Gold, where Kassandra deactivated an Isu illusion that hid the vault's entrance. Before they could continue, however, they were ambushed by cursed villagers who spoke in Greek directly to Kassandra. After killing them, Kassandra explained to Eivor that they could enter the vault if they used shards to complete the pedestal. However, Eivor was was troubled by the fact that the villagers had spoken Greek and demanded answers from Kassandra. After she revealed that her arrival had activated the artifact, Eivor deemed her untrustworthy and decided to find the shards and the artifact alone.
Later, Kassandra returned to the cave, finding the vault opened by Eivor. Entering it, she saw the Viking being ambushed by cursed villagers and saved her from a spear thrown by a villager. After defeating the villagers together, Kassandra and Eivor proceeded further into the vault, but the former was distracted by illusions from her past created by the Apple, including Greek shields, Cultist masks, and Phoibe's wood eagle, Chara.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – What Dreams May Come
As Kassandra began to mourn her long-lost friend, Eivor found the Apple and touched it, causing her to scream. Quickly recovering from her grief, Kassandra rushed to Eivor's aid and helped her deactivate the Apple, ending the curse. As Kassandra was about to depart with the artifact, Eivor invited her to celebrate their success at Kiltaraglen's longhouse, an offer Kassandra accepted.
At the longhouse, Kassandra told Eivor that she was nervous as it had been a long time since she had last attended a party. Nevertheless, she agreed to go drink with the Viking. Afterwards, learning that they were crashing a wedding, Kassandra helped Eivor to stop the bride's ex-lover who tried to interrupt the ceremony, knocking him out along with his friends. As the bride thanked them, the groom recognized them as the ones who had ended the curse. The couple then asked them to make a toast. They accepted, making it a flyting competition between the two warriors.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories – One Last Sleepless Night
Following this, Kassandra thanked Eivor for inviting her, telling the Viking that she had needed to socialize again. While Eivor talked to Edyt, Kassandra decided to silently leave the party, resuming her quest for the Pieces of Eden.
===Later life and death===
In 1725, while under the influence of a Piece of Eden shaped like a crescent amulet, the Assassin Edward Kenway experienced several visions of the past and the future. One of these visions showed Kassandra in her Spartan attire.Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple – Episode 56
Having faded into obscurity over the centuries, Kassandra's identity was rediscovered in 2018 by the Assassin Layla Hassan, through Herodotos' book, Lost Histories. Using information from the book, Layla found and retrieved the Spear of Leonidas, from which she extracted a sample of Kassandra's DNA to allow her to relive the misthios memories in the Animus. In doing so, Layla hoped to locate Atlantis and retrieve the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, which she believed was hidden in the sunken city.
When Layla traveled to the Gateway to the Lost City, Kassandra appeared before her to bestow her the Staff, as Layla was the "Heir of Memories" Aletheia had told her about centuries ago. After telling the Assassin that it was now her duty to restore balance between order and chaos and warning her to destroy the Staff and all the other Pieces of Eden once she accomplished her task, Kassandra relinquished the artifact. Moments later, her age finally caught up to her and she passed away in Layla's arms, her body disintegrating shortly after.
==Personality and traits==
From a young age, Kassandra was taught the importance of her bloodline as the granddaughter of King Leonidas. As such, she tried to live up to her grandfather's legendary reputation, training to become a warrior so that she could one day make her family and all of Sparta proud. However, this changed after the fateful night on Mount Taygetos, where she was separated from her family and branded a traitor to Sparta.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
Upon being found and taken in by Markos, the merchant taught Kassandra to mainly look after herself, which led her to take up work as a misthios, accepting contracts from anyone who would pay enough. Because of her choice of career, Kassandra could be quite brutal with her enemies or anyone who stood in her path; however, she did have her limits, being horrified by the Order of the Ancients' actions of burning villages and killing innocents.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade
While working mainly for drachmae, Kassandra was not above helping people in need even if she had nothing to gain from it. She notably had a soft spot for children, especially her friend Phoibe, whom she regarded as a little sister. She also greatly valued her friends and family, as she spent years trying to reunite with her family members and rescue her brother Alexios from the Cult of Kosmos' brainwashing. 
When Aletheia asked her to travel around the world in search of Pieces of Eden to fulfill her duties as the Keeper, Kassandra initially refused, as it meant leaving her friends and her life in Greece behind.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories Even centuries after their deaths, Kassandra fondly remembered her former acquaintances in Greece, mourning Phoibe after an illusion generated by an Apple of Eden reminded her of her old friend.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories
Kassandra possessed a vengeful side, as she sought to destroy the Cult of Kosmos for what they had done to her family and for orchestrating the Peloponnesian War for their personal gain. She also initially sought revenge on her stepfather Nikolaos for dropping her from Mount Taygetos, but ultimately forgave him.
Later, she sought to eliminate the Order of the Ancients after they had killed Natakas and kidnapped Elpidios. Over time, however, she seemed to set her desire for revenge aside, as she was willing to engage in dialogue with Gergis and Amorges in the hopes of learning Elpidios' whereabouts, whose safety was more important to her. Upon finding her son, Kassandra decided to abandon him forever in spite of her love for him, and left him in Darius' care for his own safety.
In part due to her encounters with Darius and her responsibilities as the Keeper,Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – The Fate of Atlantis Kassandra learned to fight for more than just herself or her loved ones and instead seek the betterment of humanity as a whole. Embracing her role as the Keeper, she accepted the burdens of a life of solitude as she sought to keep dangerous Pieces of Eden out of the wrong hands.
After meeting the Hidden Ones, Kassandra came to share their goal of safeguarding peace and freedom and fighting against any who threatened them. However, in time, she became too devoted to her mission from Aletheia, developing very anti-social behavior as a result, until her encounter with Eivor Varinsdottir helped her regain her appreciation of human connections.
===Skills and equipment===
Trained from a young age to fight as a Spartan, Kassandra was a highly skilled warrior capable of defeating multiple opponents simultaneously. She was able to competently wield a variety of weapon types, including swords, bows, spears, and axes. Unlike most Spartan warriors, however, Kassandra did not rely on a shield for protection, instead being able to easily deflect enemy attacks.
A master of stealth, Kassandra was able to silently assassinate her targets undetected and was also able to utilize the foliage of bushes to remain hidden from her enemies. She also proved proficient in the use of the Spear of Leonidas which aided her in silent assassinations. The spear granted Kassandra superhuman abilities, enabling her to know when and how her opponents were going to attack, which gave her a major edge over her enemies in combat. It also greatly enhanced her physical strength to the point where she could send massive opponents, including animals as large as grizzly bears, flying through the air dozens of feet away with a sufficiently strong blow.
Thanks to the spear, Kassandra could also briefly enhance her speed and reflexes to the point where she could move faster than her enemies could react, and regenerate injuries that would normally be fatal. If necessary, the spear could also turn her invisible for a short period of time, allow her to apply poison and fire effects to her weapons, produce concussive shockwaves, charge arrows with raw explosive energy, phase arrows through solid objects, and stop the flow of time around her for up to five seconds.
A skilled freerunner, Kassandra was able to scale tall structures like the statue of Athena in Athens as well as natural elements with relative ease. She also proved to be a strong swimmer whilst searching the ruins of underwater shipwrecks and was capable of holding her breath for a relatively long period of time. possibly because of her Isu DNA.
Kassandra shared a symbiotic relationship with her eagle Ikaros, which aided her in reconnaissance thanks to her Eagle Vision. Unlike later generations who possessed the skill, her Eagle Vision was far more literal in the sense that activating the ability allowed her to see through the eyes of Ikaros. Like the Daughters of Artemis, Kassandra could also tame a variety of wild animals to fight with her. According to both Phoibe and herself, Kassandara was rather immune to illness, possibly as a result of her Isu heritage.
After inheriting the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus from her father Pythagoras, Kassandra was rendered immortal and remained unchanged for over two thousand years. With the Staff, she no longer required food or water as the artifact sustained all her needs. She could even cause the Staff to take any form she wanted, such as a lantern. While never shown, it is assumed she could make use of all the powers the Staff granted to its user, such as short range teleportation and energy manipulation and projection.
To avoid succumbing to the Staff's corruption and learn to fully control it, Kassandra explored simulations of Elysium, Hades and Atlantis to expand her link with the artifact as well as tap into her own hidden potential. During her journey through Elysium, Kassandra learned to tap deeper into the Spear of Leonidas' power, being able to enhance several of her abilities as well as briefly summon the full power of the spear.
With these abilities, Kassandra grew to rival the Isu themselves, easily besting Hermes and slaying Cerberus. Through her trials in Atlantis and under the guidance of Poseidon, Kassandra fully awakened the Isu's sixth sense of "Knowledge" within her, which allowed her to better control the Staff and discover its true destructive potential, using it to sink Atlantis due to how horribly its Isu inhabitants treated humans.

At some point following her departure from Greece, Kassandra would don a dark, hooded garment with a red sash, and acquire a Hidden Blade with a design based on the head of a Gorgon. By the late 9th century, she wore armor resembling a mix of the Spartan War Hero and Mercenary sets, and wielded a sword identical to the Hero’s Sword.
By 2018, Kassandra had gained a great deal of knowledge of every innovation and discovery made during her immensely long lifespan, easily recognizing Layla's devices. She was also aware of most historical events and the various secret societies that had risen during her lifetime.
===Romantic life===
While Kassandra met a number of people during her travels that she could pursue a romantic relationship with, her only confirmed relationship was with Natakas, the son of the Persian rebel and proto-Assassin Darius. The two met in Makedonia where they worked alongside Darius to fight against the Order of the Ancients and bonded as they spent time together and discussed their pasts. Kassandra sympathized with Natakas because he too had lost most of his family at a young age, when they were hunted down by the Order.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted
After reuniting in Achaia a few years later, Kassandra and Natakas quickly resumed their friendship and continued to bond. Before the attack on the Tempest's fleet, believing that they would never see each other again, the two decided to spend the night in an abandoned house in Dyme. While waiting for Darius to arrive, they drank and joked together, reminisced of their time in Makedonia, and discussed their difficulties in making friends as they both lived lives that required them to be constantly on the move.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage
Following the Tempest's death, Natakas, having developed feelings for Kassandra, decided to stay with her despite the risks. Darius also chose to stay, wishing his son to be happy and believing they had both lived on the run enough. While it is unclear to what extent Kassandra reciprocated Natakas' feelings, she was happy to be able to finally settle down and start a family and later had a child with Natakas, Elpidios.
Kassandra loved her family and vowed to do her best to protect them, though her promise was broken when their village was attacked by the Order, who murdered Natakas and kidnapped Elpidios after Kassandra chose to go and protect Darius. Kassandra mourned Natakas and buried him on the cliff next to their home in Dyme. After saving Elpidios and avenging Natakas' death, Kassandra returned to the grave to say her final goodbyes and collected several of Natakas' items to add to his memorial.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline
==Behind the scenes==
Kassandra is one of the two selectable protagonists in the 2018 video game Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, alongside Alexios. Regardless of who the player chooses, the two protagonists share the same story. However, the game's novelization confirms that Kassandra is the canonical protagonist. She is voiced by Melissanthi Mahut who also provided her motion-capture. Maria Syrgiannis voices her as a child, with Jennifer Michele providing the motion capture.
If the player chooses Alexios as the protagonist then he and Kassandra's roles in the story are reversed, with Kassandra becoming Alexios' younger sister and Deimos. The game writers' original intent was for Kassandra to be the sole protagonist of the game, but Ubisoft executives told them that was not an option. As of January 2019, one-third of Odyssey players have chosen Kassandra as the protagonist. During playtesting, the split was 50/50.Game Informer #109: Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Kassandra has notable large scars on her arms and a small one on her lip, similar to that of Desmond Miles and, perhaps coincidentally, the Egyptian Medjay Bayek. Meanwhile, her hairstyle is similar to that of the character Randvi from Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, which was acknowledged in the Crossover Stories expansion for the game, where both Eivor and Edyt initially mistake Kassandra for Randvi due to their similar appearances.
===Etymology===
Kassandra (Κασσανδρα) is an Ancient Greek name derived from possibly κέκασμαι (kekasmai) "to excel, to shine" and ἀνήρ (anḗr) "man", altogether meaning "shining upon men". Her name could also be a reference to the in Homer's Iliad who was given the power of foresight by Apollo, only to be cursed when she rejected his advances so that people would disbelieve her even as the visions came true. However, this seems unlikely, as neither woman has similarities to the other in their own story arcs except for their name.
