Neokles

Neokles was a general of the Athenian elite guard during the Peloponnesian War who was dispatched to the Silver Islands.
==Biography==
Neokles was assigned as a captain to the garrison on Mykonos to help Podarkes, the king of the Silver Islands, with rooting out the rebellion on the islands. However, at some point Neokles "turned his back" to the Delian League and fled his post.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Paint the Sand Red
An order was sent out for all of the remaining Athenians on the islands to find and kill Neokles. While hunting down the other strategoi, the Spartan misthios Kassandra found these orders on one of them, and used them to track down Neokles, who had hidden himself within Farm of Elais in the Kynthos Hills on Delos. Athenian soldiers had also found the farm when Kassandra reached it, but they had not yet found Neokles.
==Trivia==
*Neokles can be recruited as a lieutenant for the ship Adrestia. In the ship menu, his avatar is unique in that it appears similar to an Athenian Strategos, but with added details.
*If the player decides to kill him, he will drop an epic Spartan Javelin with a "+30% Melee Resistance" engraving. This weapon is the only weapon in the game that has a "+30% Melee Resistance" engraving since that engraving cannot be engraved at weapons via blacksmith. Only with this spear can the player create a specific build that allow 100% on all types of damage reduction and make the player invulnerable. In this sense, this weapon is unique with no other counterpart.
*In order to get Neokles as a lieutenant and the epic spear, the player must decide to kill him but knock him out instead, then recruit him like any other lieutenant.
*It's unknown how Neokles obtained the spear, but it can be assumed he took it from a dead Spartan soldier.
