Alkibiades

'To best Alkibiades... one would have to be four steps ahead, my friend.'-Angélos to Goro.
Strategós Alkibiades, son of Kleinías was a Hellan Athenian statesman and an incredibly popular, cunning general. He led Athens during the height of the Peloponnesian War, but he was also readily willing to switch sides when it suited him. He was handsome and attractive, with long blonde hair and a boyish yet cunning smirk.
In 415 BC, he tried to convince the West Marchers to lend Athens their oktere/octoreme to invade Trinakria. They refused, and came to meet him at his offices. They threatened him with exposing his potential betrayals, and with some tricks, got him to agree to let them go. However, he could not let it get out, so he stabbed Goro through the back with his sword. Forte and Arnaud shot and killed him, took the wounded Goro, and fled. 
With Alkibiades gone, the Sicilian expedition was never approved, and Athens never suffered a humiliating defeat.
