==Summary==
Kassandra of Sparta (458 BCE – 2018 CE), also known as the Eagle-Bearer, the West Wind, or simply by her role as Misthios (English: Mercenary), was a Spartan mercenary who fought during the Peloponnesian War.
During her mercenary travels, Kassandra came into conflict with the secretive Cult of Kosmos, an organization intent on controlling the entire Greek world. She later opposed the Order of the Ancients, who sought to hunt her down, due in part to her nature as a Tainted One, and also for her allying herself with Darius. For her opposition against the Cult and the Order, Kassandra is considered one of the early precursors to the Assassin Brotherhood.
She was the older half-sister of Alexios and, through her mother, Myrrine, the granddaughter of King Leonidas I of Sparta. Although raised by her step-father, Nikolaos, Kassandra was the biological daughter of Pythagoras. She was also the mother of Elpidios, an ancestor of Aya, one of the co-founders of the Hidden Ones.

Attack Potency: At least Small Building level+ (As a direct descendant of the Isu via Leonidas I and being the biological child of Pythagoras who wielded the Staff of Hermes at the time, she should easily be vastly superior to most other Isu-Hybrids like Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and Ezio Auditore. Can trade blows with those who can harm her Casually demolished a gigantic wooden doorway by hurling a man through it. Afterwards, she traded blows with Darius, who rammed her through a building floor. Has also traded blows with defeated various Greek mythical beasts, including the Minotaur, which can do this), higher with Rage Mode, the Spear of Leonidas, Sword of Eden and Staff of Hermes (Fought against the Isu in Aletheia's simulation, which was designed to replicate the real Isu's power in full to help her master the Staff's power. In the wrong hands, the Staff of Hermes would bring about complete destruction of entire cities, as it did to Atlantis. Easily defeated Barnabas's Apple of Eden-generated clones, which should put her on par with Altaïr and Bayek, Kassandra having done so a few days after the Apple permanently disabled her Spear), even higher upon unleashing her true Isu potential (Can use the powers of the Isu and become one of them once she unlocks her Isu DNA's true potential). Can negate durability with many of her abilities and her Spear | At least Small Building level+ (Is a golden eagle, can easily kill deers and other large animals with a single talon swipe. Also on par with Kassandra and Pythagoras)
Speed: At least Supersonic+ (Can swat aside arrows in the same exact manner as Bayek and can also run faster than them. On par with many Greek mythical beasts and beings, who should be comparable to the Isu, and even dodged and outran attacks from Alexios and Pythagoras, including their full-powered blasts and retaliated with twice as much power without any hindrance. Easily snuck up on Layla Hassan without triggering any alarms or being seen by any security cameras. Kept up with the Medusa, who could move fast enough to leave blurs behind and even appear like she's teleporting) with Superhuman swimming speed (Can easily outpace great white sharks while underwater), higher with Rage Mode, Bull Rush and Defensive Maneuvers, Archery Master (Kassandra's surroundings can slow down while she prepares to attack in mid-air, and even arrow shots appear slow to her eyes) Skills via Spear of Leonidas, Hypersonic with the Staff of Hermes (Fought on par with and is equal to Eivor, who is this fast. Before this, as part of her training, she easily kept up with the simulations of Isu like Hermes himself and Hades, and could even block their energy beams. Also uncovered Isu Precursor Boxes to unlock her Sixth Sense to master the Staff's powers. Later effortlessly outpaced multiple of Barnabas's Apple-generated clones) | Subsonic (Golden eagles can achieve diving speeds of upto 150 mph) with at least Supersonic+ combat speed and reactions (Can easily dodge attacks from Kassandra, Pythagoras and other comparable enemies)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Can do the same feats as Bayek. Can casually send people twice her weight class flying with a single uppercut. Can push back and wrestle with large animals like great white sharks with her attacks. Wrestled with and defeated the Kretan Bull, who dwarved other ordinary cattle and even horses in terms of size alone, and also defeated other gigantic animals. Can easily move around even when her entire body is turned to stone. Pushed back and defeated the Minotaur, who could easily rip apart humans, wield a gigantic axe far too large and heavy for any man to use, and casually walk through Precursor stone, and she could even deflect his full-powered attacks without much trouble, and after she killed him she took up his axe as her own personal weapon. Later defeated Brontes and took up his gigantic stalagmite for her own use. Also pushed back and wrestled with a Staff-Amped Pythagoras. Should also be vastly superior to normal peak humans like Kyros of Zarax and Milo, both of them being able to lift massive pillars on their lonesome. Should be considerably stronger than her descendants, like Aya), higher with the Spear of Leonidas and the Staff of Hermes (Later easily overpowered multiple of Barnabas's Apple-generated clones) | Above Average Human (Should not be much weaker than most other golden eagles)
Striking Strength: At least Small Building level+, higher with Rage Mode, Spear of Leonidas and the Staff of Hermes. Can ignore conventional durability via many of her abilities | At least Small Building level+ (Can injure enemies comparable to Kassandra herself. Can easily kill gigantic elk with a single talon swipe)
Durability: At least Small Building level+ (Survived being thrown off a high cliff as a child without any injury; Can hold her own against great white sharks; Was completely fine after being rammed through a floor by Darius; Can go toe-to-toe with several Greek mythical beings and beasts like the Kretan Bull, Medusa and many more and survive their attacks, and also took hits from the Minotaur, who can generate this much energy. Can run on lava unhindered. Withstood full-powered attacks and blasts from Deimos and Pythagoras while they were equipped with their Pieces of Eden. Was only knocked unconscious by a gigantic tree falling on her. As she is a direct descendant of the Isu containing higher Isu genes than usual, she should be superior to most other peak-level Isu-Hybrids, who can tank explosions on these levels, brush off cannonballs and catapulted rocks with minimal damage and effortlessly no-sell Isu energy beams that are powerful enough to vaporize three human beings and reduce them to a bloody mist at the slightest touch), higher with armors, Rage Mode, Spear of Leonidas and Staff of Hermes (Can take considerably far higher amounts of damage than before. Can take hits from Aletheia's simulations of the Isu, and also from Apple-generated clones and those amped by the powers of the Apple), even higher with Ares' Last Breath (Temporarily becomes invulnerable to all types of attacks) | At least Small Building level+ (Has survived several run-ins with many wild animals in her entire lifespan and survived all of them. Only died because of old age)
Stamina: Superhuman (Can run countrywide distances without stopping even when critically wounded. Can keep up in multiple battles for days while heavily injured and still not show any signs of fatigue). Infinite with the Staff of Hermes (No longer requires to eat, breathe or sleep) | Extremely High (As enduring as Kassandra)
Range: Standard melee range, extended melee range with swords and dagger sets, several meters with weapons and the Staff of Hermes, higher with its extending powers, several dozens of meters with shockwaves from her Spear, upto 30 meters with Athena's Sight, hundreds of meters with arrows
Standard Equipment: Spear of Leonidas (She later hands it over to Herodotus once it is exhausted of its power, and once it is restored, hands it over to Layla Hassan), Sword of Damokles, Sword of Kings (A sword made of adamant previously used by Amorges, the sword is an easter egg reference to another Ubisoft franchise, the Prince of Persia series, with the sword being based on the sword of the Prince's father Sharaman), a Hidden Blade (Around the 9th century), several sets of swords, spears, axes, maces, arrows, staves, Staff of Hermes (Later passes it on to Layla, usable in gameplay), daggers, Ikaros (an eagle), Pieces of Eden (Temporarily, to lock them away or to destroy them) | Beak, talons
Intelligence: Genius. Trained from a young age to fight as a Spartan, Kassandra was a highly skilled warrior able to wield a variety of weapons, use stealth to silently assassinate enemies and free run to climb and overcome most physical obstacles. She was also capable of correctly answering the riddles posed to her by the Sphinx. She had a great deal of knowledge on every innovation and discovery which have happened in her immensely long lifespan, such as being able to recognize Layla's device. She even knows of all historical information as well as many secret societies she has borne witness to during her immensely long lifespan | Quite High for an animal, can understand human speech quite well and is extremely protective of Kassandra and Pythagoras
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses, but has survived situations which would kill most peak-level humans, and once gaining access to the Staff of Hermes, most of these weaknesses are eventually removed. The Spear of Leonidas will eventually run out of power, requiring to be recharged with special artifacts, but it is still nonetheless a very formidable weapon, never losing its edge (It was eventually fully repaired for future generations at the Forge of Hephaistos). Some of her abilities last for a short amount of time and require a certain amount of her own body adrenaline to activate, which she then needs to recharge by engaging in combat. Kronos Time Shift can only stop time for 3 seconds. Due to the amount of time that has passed since obtaining the Staff of Hermes, Kassandra will die once she willingly passes on the staff to her next successor or if it is forcibly taken away from her (however, both entities will have to touch the Staff at the same time for this to happen) | Standard golden eagle weaknesses. Extremely protective of Kassandra and her family
Notable Attacks/Techniques: Kassandra was capable of defeating multiple enemies simultaneously. Kassandra was able to wield a myriad of weapons ranging from swords, bows, spears, and axes. 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.
A skilled freerunner, Kassandra was able to scale 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.
Kassandra shared a symbiotic relationship with her eagle, Ikaros, which aided her in reconnaissance thanks to her Eagle Vision. Unlike later Assassins such as Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Desmond Miles, Kassandra's Eagle Vision was far more literal in the sense that activating the ability allowed her to see through the eyes of Ikaros.
With the Staff of Hermes which was passed on to her by her father Pythagoras, she was rendered immortal and remained unchanged for far longer than two thousand years. She could even cause the Staff of Hermes to transform into anything she chooses, such as a lantern.
Other abilities she possessed with the Staff and Spear are as follows:

Note: Kassandra is one of two selectable protagonists in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, alongside Alexios. Regardless of who the player chooses and despite the fact that Kassandra is the canon protagonist, the two protagonists share the same story, and thus, the same feats, so both of them are interchangeable.
