Melite

Melite (died 420s BCE) was a former priest and a member of the Worshippers of the Bloodline branch of the Cult of Kosmos in Messara, Greece, during the Peloponnesian War.
==Biography==
Prior to joining the Cult, Melite served as a priest in a temple in Greece. At some point, he made the acquaintance of Iokaste, the Sage of the Worshippers of the Bloodline branch of the Cult of Kosmos. At her command, Melite killed all the devotees serving the gods under him.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Letter to Diona
Following this, Melite left his old life behind, only telling Diona, a fellow Worshipper, of this in a letter.

As soon as he reached Krete, he could tell he was on the right track, finding the Knossos Palace's ruins, and feeling something older and darker beneath them. However, unbeknownst to Iokaste, or any of Melite's peers, he was not looking to fulfill the Sage's intents, but his own: to harness the powers of the bloodline's source solely for his own benefit.
