'''Kassandra''' (Greek: Κασσανδρα; 458 BCE – 2018 CE), also known as the '''Eagle Bearer''', '''West Wind''',<ref name="Xenia">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[She Who Controls the Seas]]<br>↑ ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Throw the Dice]]<br>↑ ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Priceless Treasure]]</ref> or '''Keeper''',<ref name="Heir of Memories">''Assassin's Creed – [[The Lost Tales of Greece]]'' – [[The Heir of Memories]]</ref> was a [[Sparta]]n [[mercenary]] who operated in [[Greece]] during the [[Peloponnesian War]].

During her travels as a mercenary, Kassandra came into conflict with the secretive [[Cult of Kosmos]], an organization intent on controlling the entire [[Greece|Greek world]]. She later opposed the [[Order of the Ancients]], who sought to hunt her down, due in part to her nature as a "[[Hybrid|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 [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]].<ref name="Essential Guide">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Essential Guide]]''</ref>

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 [[Amunet|Aya]], one of the co-founders of the [[Hidden Ones]].

== Biography==
===Early life ===
==== Childhood====
{{Dialogue2|Kassandra|Sparta. All I remember is the bottom of Mount Taygetos.|Myrrine|When I brought you to the Pythia as a baby, she never said we would live a nightmare. She said you had such promise.|The Pythia can't predict everything.|Kassandra discussing her childhood with Myrrine, 429 BCE.|Assassin's Creed: Odyssey|Catching Up}}
Kassandra was born in Sparta, in 458 BCE, to Myrrine, the daughter of the late King Leonidas I, and the philosopher [[Pythagoras]]<ref name="A Family's Legacy">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Family's Legacy]]</ref>, whose lifespan was extended due to the [[Staff of Hermes Trismegistus|Staff]] of [[Hermes Trismegistus]] he possessed. Shortly after her birth, her father departed from Sparta on a quest to learn more about the [[Isu]] and the staff he possessed.<ref name="The Gates of Atlantis" /> As such, Myrrine was left to raise Kassandra alone. As a baby, Myrrine brought Kassandra to the acting [[Pythia]], who proclaimed that the child showed a lot of promise.<ref name="Catching">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Catching Up]]</ref> At one point, Myrrine later 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 brother, Alexios.<ref name="Debt Collector">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Debt Collector]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD Memories Awoken Kassandra Myrrine Spear.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra given the Spear of Leonidas by her mother]]
Owing to her lineage as being a granddaughter of Leonidas, great hopes were placed upon her to live up to the strength and valor of Leonidas.<ref name="Debt Collector" /> As such, Kassandra was trained to fight at a young age by Nikolaos.<ref name="Home Sweet Home">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Home Sweet Home (Odyssey)|Home Sweet Home]]</ref> While training in the [[Spartan training territory|woods]] near Sparta, Myrrine presented Kassandra with Leonidas' [[Spear of 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."<ref name="Memories Awoken">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Memories Awoken]]</ref> Like other Spartan children, Kassandra also participated in the ''[[agoge]]'', learning there about various things, including the [[Gortyn Code]].<ref name="Gortyn">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Gortyn Out of Hand]]</ref>

==== Exile From Sparta====
When Kassandra was seven,<ref name="RebellionKass">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rebellion]]'' – [[Database: Kassandra]]</ref> the [[Pythia]] [[Praxithea]]<ref name="The Unkindest Cut">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Unkindest Cut]]</ref> at [[Sanctuary of Delphi]] prophesied at the decree of the [[Cult of Kosmos]] that Kassandra's younger brother, the baby Alexios, would bring about the fall of Sparta. In order to prevent this, Alexios was to be sacrificed at [[Mount Taygetos]], despite Myrrine's pleas for Nikolaos to stop it. As a priest was about to drop Alexios, Kassandra attempted to stop the sacrifice 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.<ref name="The Big Break">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Big Break]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD Nikolaos Drop Kassandra.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra seemingly dropped to her death]]
Nikolaos, being adherent to Spartan law, reluctantly complied and held Kassandra by her hand and dropped her down the mountain despite pleas from Myrrine.<ref name="The Big Break" /> However, Kassandra survived the fall and escaped to the beach with the spear. Refusing to be found by the Spartans, Kassandra fled out to the open sea in a boat, with an [[Ikaros|eagle]] 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.<ref name="Debt Collector" />

====Life as a ''misthios''====
Under Markos, Kassandra performed errands for him, occasionally helping him to settle debts that he owed.<ref name="Debt Collector" /> 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.<ref name="Parenthood">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Unplanned Parenthood]]</ref> The two became close friends and were noted troublemakers on the island. Kassandra was greatly affected when Anais had to leave Kephallonia.<ref name="Where We Left Off">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Where We Left Off]]</ref>

When she got older, Kassandra forged a career as a mercenary under the tutelage of such men as [[Photios]]<ref name="Photios">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Photios's Pre-Tirement]]</ref> and [[Heitor]],<ref name="A Friend In Need">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Friend in Need...]]</ref> and acquired ''misthios'' as her nickname on the island. It was during this time, circa 433 BCE, that she and Markos took in an [[Athens|Athenian]] orphan [[Phoibe]] as part of their 'family'.<ref name="Novel Chap1">''[[Assassin's Creed Odyssey (The Official Novelization)|Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (The Official Novelization)]]'' - Chapter 1</ref>

By the early 430s BCE, Kassandra had set up [[Kephallonian hovel|home]] near the [[Ancient Ruins of Kranioi|ruins of Kranioi]] on the western coast of Kephallonia, which she shared with Phoibe. From there, Kassandra habitually clashed with thugs and [[bandit]]s working for the [[Cyclops of Kephallonia|Cyclops]], a bandit leader who sought to rule the island.<ref name="So It Begins">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[So It Begins]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD So It Begins 4.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra punched by the Cyclops' thugs]]
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 [[Markos' Vineyard|vineyard]]. Coming across Markos in his new property, Kassandra expressed her disbelief at his purchase of the vineyard even though he still owed her [[drachma]]e. Calming her with the promise of more, he directed her to collect from [[Duris]], a merchant in [[Sami]] who owed Markos drachmae. In exchange for helping Markos to collect his debt, Kassandra convinced him to give her a [[horse]], which she named [[Phobos (horse)|Phobos]].<ref name="So It Begins" />

[[File:ACOD Debt Collector - Kassandra Checking Phoibe.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra rescuing Phoibe]]
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|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 he borrowed from the Cyclops. Once Duris had been dealt with, Kassandra returned to Markos at the [[Temple of Zeus, Kephallonia|Temple of Zeus]], speaking to one of 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.<ref name="Debt Collector" /> Kassandra later helped Drucilla to deal with her stolen lumber problem<ref name="Lumbering Along">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Lumbering Along]]</ref> in exchange for having her [[Improved Hunter Bow|bow]] fixed.<ref name="Debt Collector" />

[[File:ACOD The Blood Fever.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra negotiating the family's fate with the priest]]
Afterward Kassandra returned to Markos, who then laid out his plan to repay the Cyclops by stealing his obsidian eye. Kassandra infiltrated the Cyclops' [[Cyclops' Lair|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.<ref name="An Eye for an Eye">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[An Eye for an Eye (Odyssey)|An Eye for an Eye]]</ref> Before going to slay the bandits, she spotted a worried Phoibe asking her help to check on her friend that, supposedly was 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.<ref name="BloodFever">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Blood Fever]]</ref> At some point while running her errands, she killed the ''misthios'' that had been persuing her.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[A Fight with Talos]]</ref>

===Odyssey through Greece===
====Working for Elpenor====
Kassandra then went to an [[Abandoned House, Kephallonia|abandoned house]] the bandits Maykos had spoke off 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]].<ref name="FancyGuests">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Fancy Guests]]</ref> Furthermore, Elpenor 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]].<ref name="Penelope" /> While there, she freed a woman named [[Odessa]] that claimed to be one of [[Odysseus]]' descendants, in pilgrimage, and scorted her through the ruins, until she had to sail away.<ref name="SmallOdyssey">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[A Small Odyssey]]</ref> Subsequently, Kassandra returned to Elpenor, who then hired her to assassinate a Spartan general nicknamed the Wolf in [[Megaris]].<ref name="Penelope">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Penelope's Shroud]]</ref>

[[File:The Big Break - Leaving Kephallonia - Assassins Creed Odyssey.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra and Barnabas before the ''Adrestia'']]
Requiring a ship to reach Megaris, Kassandra learned from the shipmaster [[Telemenes]] that the Cyclops had a ship 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 [[Barnabas]], captain of the ''[[Adrestia]]'', who agreed to transport her to Megaris. After bidding farewell to Markos and Phoibe, who gave her [[Chara]], her wooden eagle, Kassandra informed Barnabas of her contract and was surprised to learn that the Wolf was none other than her father, Nikolaos.<ref name="The Big Break" />

Arriving in Megaris after breaching a [[Blockade of Megaris|blockade]], Kassandra met [[Stentor]], the adoptive son of Nikolaos. As she asked to meet the general, Stentor hired her as a mercenary to fight the Athenians in the region due to the [[Peloponnesian War]].<ref name="JourneyWar">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Journey into War]]</ref> She spent the next few months trying to earn the Spartans' favour<ref name="Novel Chap4">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (The Official Novelization)'' - Chapter 4</ref> by weakening the Athenian forces.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Crumble and Burn]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[One Man Army]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Athenian Treasure Trove]]</ref> In her time aiding the army, she discovered a mole witin the ranks supported by a rival mercenary, [[Hyrkanos]]<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Missing Map]]</ref>, and later discovered that he had stolen supplies from the Spartans, blaming the Athenians for the act.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Portion Control]]</ref> She was then sent to [[Megara]] to kill him, discovering in the process the vantages of killing other ''misthioi''.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Hunting Hyrkanos]]</ref> While in in the city, she met a [[Artaxerxes I of Persia|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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Prince of Persia]]</ref> She also encountered Odessa again, near the [[Port of Nisaia]], managing to help her heal her sick father<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[A Family Ordeal]]</ref> and also stopppng a conspiracy for having her killed in order to steal her [[Odessa's Estate|estate]], later recruiting the woman to her crew.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The True Story]]</ref>

[[File:The Wolf of Sparta - Kassandras choice - Assassins Creed Odyssey.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra about to kill Nikolaos]]
After some time, Kassandra eventually succeded in killing the Athenian leader<ref name="AthenianLeader">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Athenian Leader]]</ref> and, subsequently, defeated the Athenian army in a battle, becoming know as the "''misthios'' with the broken spear".<ref name="FinalPush">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Final Push]]</ref> She finally confronted Nikolaos alone but ended up deciding to spare his life. Regretting to have thrown Kassandra as a child, Nikolaos decided to quit the Spartan army and revealed to Kassandra that he wasn't her father. Before leaving, he tasked Kassandra to find her mother for more answers, warning her to "beware the snakes in the grass".<ref name="Wolf">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Wolf of Sparta]]</ref> Kassandra returned to the ''Adrestia'', tolding to Barnabas what had happened in the last months, when he proceeded to told her that a plague had spread through all the Island of Kephallonia, in part thanks to Kassandra's actions. She ended up tolding him to go to [[Pilgrim's Landing]], [[Phokis]], in order to meet her employer.<ref name="Phokis">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Onwards to Phokis]]</ref>

On June that year, the ship arrived in Kirrha, with Barnabas deciding to go to Delphi, while Kassandra would conclude her task.<ref name="Phokis" /> She met Elpenor and showed him Nikolaos' helmet to prove she accomplished her mission. As the discussion went wrong, Elpenor fled while his guards attacked Kassandra. She survived the encounter, deciding then to track down Elpenor in the surrounding region.<ref name="FateWolf">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Wolf's Fate]]</ref> 

==== Uncovering the Cult of Kosmos====
Going to the Sanctuary of Delphi to question the [[Pythia (431 BCE)|Pythia]] about her family, Kassandra met his companion again, who presented 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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Consulting a Ghost]]</ref> After being thrown out from the meeting, she forced entry in the [[House of the Pythia|Pythia's house]], in the [[Chora of Delphi]]. Talking alone with her, Kassandra discovered that the Cult were having a meeting under the Sanctuary soon and that Elpenor was one of its members. She also told her that, without the ceremonial outfit of the Cult, she wouldn't be able to pass the Cult guards.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Truth Will Out]]</ref> Kassandra then went to the [[Pharsalos Fort|fort]] the woman had pointed to be Elpenor's hiding place, but ended up killing his decoy. Finding a note in his belongings, she discovered his [[Snake Temple|true hideout]], finally fighting and killing him. On his corpse, she found a mask, a robe and a [[Artifact Fragment|strange shard]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Snake in the Grass]]</ref>
[[File:ACOD The Serpent's Lair - Deimos Realization.png|thumb|250px|Deimos discovers Kassandra's identity after using the Artifact|alt=|left]]
With the mask and the robe, Kassandra went to the meeting of the Cult in the [[Sanctuary of Kosmos]]. In the middle of the room was a [[Pyramid (Isu)|Pyramid]] composed of the same type of shards she had found on Elpenor and felt compelled to complete it. During the meeting, Kassandra stole some of their documents and listened to some of their conversations, learning that the Cult had infiltrated virtually all of Greek society: economy, religion, politics, arts, and sports. They even had Cultists in the [[Delian League]] and the [[Peloponnesian League]]. She also discovered that the Cult was hunting her family to control the ''bloodline''. Suddenly, Deimos, the weapon of the Cult, entered the room, 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 his lost brother Alexios. Disturbed, Deimos decided to let Kassandra go and accused [[Epiktetos]] as the traitor, smashing his head against the pyramid and killing him. 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 for reporting to [[Perikles]] the information she had gathered but, before sailing to Athens, they would meet at Thermopylae to discuss a secret about her spear.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Serpent's Lair]]</ref>

Before heading to the place, she found a doctor named [[Lykaon]] in the Chora of Delphi whose grandmother was the oracle that had sentenced Alexios to death as a baby.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Helping a Healer]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Sins of the Past]]</ref> She helped him to free Praxithea from a kidnap in order to judge her for acts.<ref name="The Unkindest Cut" /> While exploring a [[Temple of Artemis, Phokis|Temple of Artemis]] in Phokis, she 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 going to its den, Kassandra emerged victorious from the hunt. After delivering its pelt to the huntress,<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Daughters of Artemis]]</ref> she tasked her to hunt all the other legendary beasts throughout Greece, in order to earn the trust and protection of the Daughters.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[The Goddesses' Hunt]]</ref>

[[File:Memories Awoken - Using the Spear - Assassins Creed Odyssey.png|thumb|left|250px|Kassandra in the Ancient Forge]]
Kassandra traversed the mountains surronding Delphi through the [[Cave of Kratos]] and met Herodotos at the [[Lion of Leonidas]] at [[Hot Gates of Thermopylai|Thermopylae]], where her grandfather died during the [[Battle of Thermopylae]]. There, the two touched the Spear of Leonidas and relived the king's last memory during the battle. Understanding it was an artifact of an ancient civilization, Herodotos talked to Kassandra about an [[Ancient Forge|ancient complex]] on [[Andros]] island. Kassandra was convinced to visit the island: once there she was able to open the Isu-built gate with her spear. Inside, she found a mold corresponding to the spear and using the shard she took from the Pyramid, she upgraded the weapon. Leaving the Ancient Forge, she was confronted by her brother, 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 returned to the Adrestia to tell to Herodotos what she saw and they began their trip to Athens.<ref name="Memories Awoken" />

====Interfering in Athens politics====
[[File:ACOD Welcome to Athens Memory Screenshot 03.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra speaking with Perikles]]
In July 431 BCE<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (The Official Novelization)'' - Chapter 7</ref>, Kassandra and Herodotos arrived in Athens, which was besieged 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. As Kassandra wanted information about her mother, Herodotus told her she should go to Perikles' symposium to gather information on Myrrine's whereabouts. Perikles, the Athenian leader, said she must help him with three tasks to be allowed into the Symposium.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Welcome to Athens]]</ref>

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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Escape from Athens]]</ref> Kassandra also saved [[Metiochos]], who was 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 [[The Poisoner|mercenary]] to kill Metiochos. She found the mercenary and killed him.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Venomous Encounter]]</ref> 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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Ostracized]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD Perikles's Symposium Memory 03.png|thumb|left|250px|Kassandra and Herodotos at the Symposium]]
After accomplishing her missions, Kassandra was accepted to participate in Perikles' symposium. Entering [[Perikles' Residence]], she met Phoibe, who had left Kephallonia, working now 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]].<ref name="Perikles">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Perikles's Symposium]]</ref> Speaking to Sophokles, Kassandra learnt 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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Drink Up]]</ref> After giving some oil to Alkibiades, he advised Kassandra to search for the Spartan woman in [[Korinth]] and speak with the influential ''[[Courtesan|hetaera]]'' [[Anthousa]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Oil and Love]]</ref>

Conversing with 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.<ref name="Perikles" />

Before searching for her mother, Kassandra helped the playwright [[Aristophanes]] to investigate Hermippos and discovered that he was a Cultist and killed him.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Free Speech]]</ref> She found another member of the Cult in [[Attika]], [[the Master]], who mistreated his slaves. Kassandra attempted to free one of the Master's slaves, and the Master agreed, if Kassandra killed [[Odessa|a woman]]. She refused, and slew him instead.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Life's Worth]]</ref> She also helped the general [[Demosthenes]] and Kleon to fight the Spartans who were camped around Athens.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Creating Opportunity]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[For the People]]</ref> 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]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[He Who Stops]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Liberator]]</ref>

====Searching for her mother ====
[[File:ACOD First Do No Harm - Kassandra Observing Hippokrates.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra at Hippokrates's clinic]]
When Kassandra left Athens, she decided to follow all the lead she gathered during the symposium. 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 [[Fort Tiryns]] but the notes were burnt.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[First Do No Harm]]</ref> She escorted the doctor of the fort to Hippokrates as he had read the notes. After that, Hippokrates told her that when he was younger, he saw a Spartan woman who went to the Asklepios Temple to save her wounded son.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Doctor Will See You Now]]</ref> Going to the Temple, Kassandra helped the priests. They all gave information on the elder priest [[Mydon]] who had cut out his own tongue.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Priests of Asklepios]]</ref> Going to interrogate Mydon, Kassandra surprised him with his lover and slave. The slave spoke for Mydon, explaining that the priest met Myrrine who tried to heal her son, but that the priests failed to save him. [[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 made her mother believe that Alexios was dead to later abduct him.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Speak No Evil]]</ref>

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 rose Alexios as her son and tortured him into becoming the weapon of the Cult. She also explained that the mother fled to Korinth after that and that [[the Monger]] was sent to capture her. Chrysis proposed Kassandra join her family but she refused. The Cultist set fire to the altar with the baby inside allowing her to run away from Kassandra.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Ashes to Ashes]]</ref> While Chrysis fled, she was killed by her estranged son [[Dolops]].<ref name="novel">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (The Official Novelization)]]''  - Chapter 8</ref>

Arriving in Korinth, Kassandra made contact with Anthousa. She also met again Phoibe, who was 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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[To Find a Girl]]</ref> She helped [[Damalis]] and [[Erinna]] against the Monger's men.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[To Help a Girl]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Follow That Boat]]</ref> Kassandra also burnt one of the Monger warehouse to stop his smuggling but was trapped by the guards. As she fought them, she was assisted by the Spartan general [[Brasidas]] and defeated them. Brasidas explained to Kassandra that he was there to stop the Monger crimes as Korinth was an ally of Sparta. He agreed the Monger had to be killed, but stealthily.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Port of Lawlessness]]</ref> When the Monger arrived, he was killed by Kassandra, Brasidas with the help of Roxanna and Erina. After that, the Monger's remains were then displayed publicly by Kassandra and Anthousa at the theater against Brasidas' wishes.<ref name="novel" /> To thank her, Anthousa told to Kassandra that she sheltered Myrrine, who later left Korinth after winning a ship, the ''[[Siren Song]]''.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Monger Down]]</ref>

Arriving on Keos, Kassandra infiltrated the [[Temple of Athena Nedousia]] the headquarters of Xenia the queen of [[Piracy|pirates]], who control the island.

[[File:Kassandra kissing Phoibe farewell.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra mourning on Phoibe's body]]
Returning in Athens during the Autumn 429 BCE, Kassandra witnessed the city being struck by the [[Plague of Athens|plague]]. As Hippokrates tried to save the sicks, she helped him to burn the bodies of the dead as the [[Followers of Ares]] impeached that, seeing this practice as sacrilegious.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Growing Sickness]]</ref> Going to see Perikles, she learnt from Aspasia that he was also ill. Speaking with the ''strategos'', she understood he was really weakened and that Kleon would take his place as the leader of Athens. When she returned to Aspasia, Perikles' lover tasked her to find Phoibe who was missing after she sent her to find a ferry.<ref name="Abandoned">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Abandoned By the Gods]]</ref> Investigating around the [[Odeon of Perikles]], she found a massacre. As she saw Phoibe being followed by guards of the Cult, she ran to save her but when she finished the fight the young girl was already dead. Mourning her friend, Kassandra placed Chara in Phoibe's hands. Joined by Sokrates and Hippokrates, she decided to go to the [[Parthenon]] to speak with Aspasia.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[And the Streets Run Red]]</ref>

Arriving near the temple, they found Aspasia who searched Perikles. Kassandra announced her the death of Phoibe which shocked Aspasia. When they entered in the temple, they saw Deimos killed Perikles. As Kassandra tried to stop him, he ran away sending guards. Following that, Kassandra decided to leave Athens with Aspasia. As Kleon was the new ruler of the city and ordered that no one leave the city, Kassandra fought her way to the [[Port of Piraeus]]. Before leaving, she asked to Sokrates and Hippokrates will stay to give Phoibe a proper burial. On the ''Adrestia'', Kassandra spoke to Aspasia about the clues she found on her mother. Aspasia said she knew someone named Phoenix on [[Naxos Island]], so they set sail for the island.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Athens's Last Hope]]</ref>

====Finding her parents====
[[File:ACOD Myrrine reunion with Kassandra.png|left|thumb|250px|Kassandra reuniting with her mother]]
Arriving on Naxos, Kassandra learnt that her mother had become the Oligarch of the island. When they met, the touching reunion between the daughter and the mother was interrupted by attacking [[Paros Island|Parian]] forces. Kassandra and Myrrine killed the invaders with the help of [[Timo]] and [[Hektor]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Mother's Prayers]]</ref> After that, Kassandra spoke with her mother about her fate after the night on the 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.<ref name="Catching" /> As Naxos and Paros were at war, Kassandra helped her mother to defend the island and weaken the power of [[Silanos]], Paros' obligarch.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Going Down]]</ref> Kassandra also stopped the propaganda against her mother made by the artist [[Lichas]], who was paid by Silanos.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Writing's on the Wall]]</ref>

During a symposium, Aspasia warned Myrrine that men were sent to kill her. Kassandra killed them before they could and discovered they were from the Cult. On their bodies, she found a coded message with the seal of Paros, confirming that Silanos was a Cultist. Aspasia deciphered the message and informed Kassandra that one of the [[Two Kings of Sparta]] was a [[Sage (Cult of Kosmos)|Sage of the Cult]]. Myrrine was shocked as Sparta always resisted the Cult. The Archon decided to go to Sparta after the conflict with Paros was over.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Death and Disorder]]</ref> As the fleet of Paros had blockaded the harbor of Naxos, Kassandra destroyed the fleet with the ''Adrestia''.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Paros Blockade]]</ref> After that she sank the ''[[Amber Dawn]]'', Silanos' ship, killing him in the process and assuring the victory of the Spartans.

[[File:ACOD Kassandra meets Pythagoras.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra meeting her father Pythagoras]]
On the volcanic island of Thera, Kassandra found the [[Minoan Ruins]] and a gate like the Ancient Forge on Andros. Using her spear, she opened the gate and explored the underground of the island. Arriving in an [[Gateway to the Lost City|Isu temple]], she saw her real father Pythagoras greeting her. He explained to her that she was in the ruins of the legendary [[Atlantis]] which contained powerful knowledge. He told her that she was conceived to perpetuate an ancient bloodline and that her destiny was to help him to protect Atlantis from the Cult of Kosmos. For that, they needed to seal the Atlantis with [[Atlantis artifact|four artifacts]] which were hidden around Greece. Kassandra accepted to help her father in his quest.<ref name="A Family's Legacy" /><ref name="The Gates of Atlantis" />

====Tracking the Sage-King====
[[File:ACOD An audience with the Two Kings of Sparta.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra, Myrrine and Brasidas before the Kings of Sparta]]
Around 428 BCE, Kassandra joined her mother in Lakonia and the two went to Sparta. They first went to their [[Old Home|old home]] to take it back but Brasidas informed them that the city claimed it after Nikolaos' disappearance. As Kassandra wanted to see the Kings, Brasidas advised her to deal with the [[Helot]]s revolt in Sparta to be sure that the rulers will listen to her.<ref name="Home Sweet Home" /> After that, Kassandra and her mother met the Kings [[Archidamos of Sparta|Archidamos]] and [[Pausanias of Sparta]]. As Archidamos was furious against Myrrine and Kassandra after what happened on Mount Taygetos, Pausanias proposed that the ''misthios'' proved her loyalty. Archidamos tasked her to conquer [[Boeotia]] while Pausanias demanded her to escort the champion [[Testikles]] to [[Elis]] and assured the victory of Sparta during the [[Olympic Games]]. After the meeting, Brasidas informed Kassandra that he had a lead on a Cultist in [[Arkadia]]. Myrrine chose to follow Brasidas while Kassandra would accomplish the Kings' tasks. Before her mother departure, Kassandra promised to join them in Arkadia.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Kings of Sparta]]</ref> During her time in Sparta, Kassandra met the General [[Lysander]] who tasked her to find Polemarch seals from Athens.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Ambition]]</ref>

Escorting Tesikles on the ''Adrestia'' from Sparta to [[Kyllene]], Kassandra accidentally made the champion fall into the sea to be eaten by a shark. Alkibiades who was there proposed that Kassandra replaced Testikles for the [[Panchrates]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Delivering a Champion]]</ref> Arriving in the [[Sanctuary of Olympia]], Kassandra participated in the rituals of Olympic Games with Barnabas.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Barnabas Abroad]]</ref> During the competition, Kassandra defeated [[Orion (Olympian)|Orion]] and [[Erastos (Olympian)|Erastos]] which qualified her for the final. While she celebrated her first victories, Alkibiades collapsed after he returned from a party. As Barnabas supposed he was poisoned, Kassandra investigated the case.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Contender]]</ref> She discovered the corpses of other Athenian guests and was attacked by a guard of the Cult. Interrogating the merchant [[Priam]] she learnt that someone pay him to poison the wine. She went to [[Fort Koroibos]] to find an antidote. Returning to Alkibiades, she saved in time the young man.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Long Game]]</ref>

[[File:ACO Pankration Memory Screenshot 04.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra as the Olympic Champion]]
During the final, Kassandra fought the champion [[Dorieus]] and won the competition. Receiving an olive wreath, Kassandra was announced as the Olympic champion.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Pankration (memory)|Pankration]]</ref> In Olympia, she discovered that the champion [[Kallias]] was the Cultist who poisoned Alkibiades. She killed him and collected more information on the Sage of the [[Peloponnesian League (Cult of Kosmos)|Peloponnesian League]]. She also met [[Phidias]] who was target by the Cult. He told her that he received a scytale and a note. On the note they discovered a riddle that led to [[Temple of Zeus, Olympia|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 in [[Kythera Island]], [[Samos]], and [[Thasos]]. Kassandra agreed to accomplish this quest.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Message, the Stick, and the Artist]]</ref>

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 Peloponnesian League branch. To find a little more information on the Sage, Kassandra killed him. <ref>Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - [[The Peloponnesian League]]</ref>

In Arkadia, Kassandra was attacked by the ''misthios'' [[Sosipatros]] who was after a bounty on her head. After she defeated him, she learnt that this was the Spartan Archon of Arkadia, [[Lagos]], who had placed the bounty on the heads of her and her mother. Joining her mother and Brasidas, Kassandra understood that Lagos was a member of the Cult. Myrrine wanted him dead while Brasidas suspected that the Cult had forced Lagos' hand.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[To Kill or Not to Kill]]</ref> Then, Kassandra aided Brasidas in his investigation about Lagos' motivations.<ref>Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - [[White Lies and Blackmail]]</ref> She later discovered that the Cult had kidnapped his family and, after finding them caged on a [[Scorched Tree|hideout]] of the Cult, she released them from their custody.<ref>Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - [[Gluten Free]]</ref> To low the bounty on her head, Kassandra weakned Lagos' control over Arkadia.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' - [[Breaking Bread]]</ref><ref>Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - [[Fourth-Degree Burns]]</ref> She then went to [[Fort Samikon]] to confront the archon. When she found him, Lagos presented her with documents that proved that [[Pausanias of Sparta|Pausanias]] was the Sage. She then convinced him to leave the cult, reassuring him that Brasidas would protect him. <ref>Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - [[Judge, Jury, Executioner (Odyssey)|Judge, Jury, Executioner]]</ref> With all the members of the branch defeated, Kassandra gained the [[Spartan War Hero Armor]]. After dealing with Lagos, Kassandra came back to Brasidas and Myrrine to tell them of her findings. Then, she decided to aid in the war against Athens in Boeotia before returning to the kings.

In 427 BCE, Kassandra arrived in the [[Spartan Military Camp]] in Boeotia to help their general but she discovered that it was Stentor. He accused her to have killed Nikolaos and was angry that the Kings sent her to help him. He ordered Kassandra to kill the four [[Champions of Boeotia]] who worked for Athens.<ref name="Conqueror">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Conqueror]]</ref> She killed [[Drakon]]<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The End of Drakon]]</ref> and [[Nesaia]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Last Hunt of Nesaia]]</ref> She discovered that the champion [[Deianeira]] was a Cultist, so she killed her<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Fall of Deianeira]]</ref> and her cousin [[Astra]] to avenge the death of [[Timon]]'s brother [[Abreas]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Sibling Revenge]]</ref>

While she prepared to assassinate the champion [[Aristaios]], she saw Nikolaos fought and kill the champion. Discussing with him, he explained to her that he helped Stentor in the shadows to repair the wrong he did to his family. Kassandra convinced him to reunite with Stentor.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Last Fight of Aristaios]]</ref> As she accomplished her mission, Kassandra joined the Spartan troops and defeated the Athenians on the battle ground. After their victory, Stentor dueled Kassandra for avenging Nikolaos' death. However, before it could start Nikolaos appeared to separate his children, the fight was over. Nikolaos calmed his son and asked him to lead his men. Before she left, Nikolaos wished that the gods watch over Kassandra and her mother.<ref name="Conqueror" />

Returning to Sparta, she confronted the Sage before Archidamos, the ephors, the Gerousia, and the Hippeis, which charged Pausanias for his crimes.<ref name="novel" /> As Kassandra made a great service for Sparta in addition to accomplish the Kings' quests, Archidamos granted Kassandra and Myrrine to live in their house.<ref name="Bloody">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Bloody Feast]]</ref> After Pausanias' exile, Kassandra tracked him down and slew him. She found a letter from the [[Ghost of Kosmos]], the leader of the Cult, saying they planned to trick the ''misthios'' to believe that Archidamos was the Sage of the Peloponnesian League and ask to Pausanias to unite the Greek ''[[polis|poleis]]'' under their command.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Peloponnesian League]]</ref>

====Fighting the Sage of the Delian League====
[[File:ACOD The Battle of Pylos 5.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra confronting Deimos]]
When Kassandra and her mother entered their house, Brasidas came to ask help from the ''misthios'' to prepare an attack against the Athenians in [[Pylos]] as they were rumors that Deimos was on their side. She accepted and went to [[Messenia]].<ref name="Bloody" /> In Summer 425 BCE, the two armies [[Battle of Pylos|battled]] for supremacy. During the fight, Brasidas was wounded by Deimos who then attacked Kassandra. The duel came to a stalemate after a burning tree fell of Deimos and later Kassandra, rendering them both unconscious.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Battle of Pylos]]</ref> The Athenians subsequently won the battle, and Kassandra was captured by Kleon and brought to a [[Prison, Athens|prison]] in Athens.<ref name="Doing Time">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Doing Time]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD Doing Time 9.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra freed by Barnabas and Sokrates]]
Waking up, Kassandra met with Deimos observing her outside the cell. While she discussed with her brother, Kleon entered and revealed he was the Sage of the [[Delian League (Cult of Kosmos)|Delian League]] and ordered the murder of Perikles. He then left while his guards attacked Kassandra in her cell. She defeated them and met Barnabas and Sokrates who broke into the prison to save her. They gave her equipment and together went to Perikles' Residence.<ref name="Doing Time" /> Together with Aristophanes, Alkibiades, Herodotos and Hippokrates they formed the [[Periklean Circle]], a group dedicated to dimish the power of Kleon and bring back [[Democracy]] in Athens.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Resistance (Odyssey)|The Resistance]]</ref>

With Sokrates, Kassandra exposed Kleon lies on the revolt of Mytilene before Athens citizens.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Unearthing the Truth]]</ref> She also help Aristophanes by protecting the actors [[Thespis]] and [[Aikaterine]] who were targeted by the Cult as they played in ''[[The Knights (play)|The Knights]]'' which criticized Kleon.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[An Actor's Life for Me]]</ref> In the process, Kassandra killed the Cultist [[Rhexenor]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A-Musing Tale]]</ref> With that, the popularity of Kleon decreased and he was forced to fight the Spartans led by Brasidas in [[Amphipolis]] to regain some reputation. Kassandra decided to join Brasidas to fight Kleon.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Knights]]</ref>

In Summer 422 BCE, during the [[Battle of Amphipolis]], Kassandra saw Brasidas being killed by Deimos. As she confronted her brother, the duel was short as Alexios was hit in the back by an arrow shot by Kleon who targeted Kassandra. Angry, Kassandra racked the Sage who ran away from the battle. After a fight, Kleon tried to convince Kassandra to join the Cult but she killed him. On his body, she found a letter from the Ghost which proved that the leader of the Cult organized the death of Perikles and asked Kleon to unite the Greek cities under their control. Returning on the battlefield Kassandra didn't find the body of Alexios.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[We Will Rise]]</ref>

====Reuniting her family====
[[File:ACOD Where It All Began 9.png|thumb|278x278px|[[Alexios]]'s Death]]
Returning to Sparta, Kassandra told her mother what happened in Amphipolis and the undetermined fate of Alexios. Going to Mount Taygetos where it all begun, Kassandra and Myrrine saw Alexios near the cliff. They tried to reason with him to leave the Cult and rejoin his family, but he had lost the will to live and said that he couldn't be what they wanted him to be. 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 his mother with a blade, forcing Kassandra to fight him and kill him.<ref>Assassin's Creed: Odyssey - [[Where It All Began]]</ref><ref name="novel" /> She recovered his [[Sword of Damokles|sword]] and his armor. She also found a letter from the Ghost of Kosmos which proved that the leader of the Cult manipulated all the cult members against each other.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Where It All Began]]</ref>

After the tragedy of losing her brother, Kassandra organized a dinner in her old house with her mother, Nikolaos and Stentor.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Dinner in Sparta]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD We Remember Memory Screenshot 05.png|thumb|270x270px|Kassandra with the Periklean Circle at the party]]

====Sealing Atlantis====
During her journey, Kassandra also searched the fragments of Atlantis. Pythagoras gave her the half of a medallion of the Isu and advised her to go to Boeotia to meet his ally [[Gorgias (historian)|Gorgias]]. Meeting him at the [[Lair of the Sphinx]], he informed her that his apprentice [[Pibos]] had the other half of the medallion but he was missing. Searching him, Kassandra found Pibos dead, devoured by a [[lion]]. Understanding that the lion ate the medallion's other half, she hunted the animal and killed it.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Lore of the Sphinx]]</ref>

Completing the medallion, Kassandra returned to the camp and saw that Sphinx's statue disappeared and that Gorgias was dead. She inserted the medallion in the lair but nothing happened. She returned the night to retry and a giant [[Sphinx]] appeared. The creature told to Kassandra that she needed to solve three riddles to have the artifact. If she answered wrongly, she will die as Gorgias. Answering the three riddles and activating the corresponding symbols, a flash a light killed the Sphinx. Kassandra took from its body a glowing feather which turned in a [[Prize of the Sphinx|metallic sphere]] and the creature took the form of a decayed human corpse.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Awaken the Myth]]</ref>
[[File:ACOd-StO-KassBrontes.jpg|thumb|246x246px|[[Brontes]], the Thunderer]]
Investigating on another artifact on [[Kythera Island]], Kassandra was tasked by [[Empedokles fanatic|a man]] to save [[Empedokles]], a supposedly living god who was captured by the priestess of [[Aphrodite]]. As she saved him, Empedokles proposed to Kassandra to join him to Olympos to see the gods.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A God Among Men]]</ref> But as the key was stolen, he tasked her to find the thief. When she recovered the key, she discovered that it was another medallion key.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Left to Dye]]</ref>

Reuniting with Empedokles on the [[Isle of Thisvi]], Kassandra opened an Isu gate. In the cave resided the [[Cyclops]] [[Brontes]], who killed Empedokles by smashing him. Kassandra fought the giant and killed him. Like with the Sphinx, when she took the eye of the creature it turned back into a [[Prize of the Cyclops|spherical artifact]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Stairway to Olympos]]</ref> During other travels, Kassandra fought and killed two other Cyclopes, [[Steropes]] on Andros island and [[Arges]] in the volcanic island of [[Nisyros]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Lightning Bringer]]</ref>

In [[Krete]], Kassandra went to the ruins of [[Knossos Palace]]. There, she found a boy, [[Ardos]], who tried to find his father [[Nikios]] who disappeared while exploring the [[Labyrinth of Lost Souls|labryrinth]] under the palace. The boy showed to Kassandra the entrance under the palace. She agreed to help Ardos to find his father interrogating the three men who accompanied Nikios.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Myths and Minotaurs]]</ref> Interrogating the Collector, she learnt that Nikios, the [[Swordfish]] and him tried to kill the [[Minotaur]] using [[Theseus Set|Theseus' armor]] for protection. As they were afraid of the creatures, they fled but left Nikios behind. He gave a part of the armor to protect Kassandra and explained where were the other parts.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Recollections]]</ref> Searching for the Swordfish, she learnt that he was a criminal who controlled [[Herakleion]] but was also a member of the Cult. When she found his hideout, the Swordfish believed that Kassandra was Deimos. He revealed to her what happened in the Labyrinth and that Nikios was dead. As he wanted to quit the Cult, the Swordfish attacked Kassandra but he was killed.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Blood in the Water (Odyssey)|Blood in the Water]]</ref>

As she searched for Ardos' caretaker, Kassandra fell in a trap of the Cult but defeated them. She rescued the captured caretaker. He explained that he had the key of the Labyrinth but that Ardos stole it.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Full Circle]]</ref> Returning in the ruins, Kassandra spoke to the boy who gave her the key.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Seeking Answers]]</ref> With the Theseus armor, she entered in the labyrinth and faced the Minotaur. After killing the monster, she broke one of his horns which transformed into a [[Prize of the Minotaur|spherical artifact]] like the ones before it. She left the labyrinth, giving Ardos his deceased father's ring and bid him farewell.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[He Waits]]</ref>

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]]. She explained to Kassandra that she lost her lover [[Ligeia]] during their hunt of the creature. Kassandra accepted to help her saved Ligeia and went together to the [[Dread Ruins]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Romancing the Stone Garden]]</ref> There, they found the [[Petrified Temple]] closed.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Love's Long Shadow]]</ref> As they needed the key to open it, Kassandra went to the [[Huntress Village|village]] of the [[Daughters of Artemis]] on [[Chios]] and recovered the key.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Hard to Artemis]]</ref>
[[File:Medusa and Alexios artwork - Assassin's Creed Odyssey.jpg|thumb|254x254px|Kassandra fighting the [[Writhing Dread]]]]
Kassandra also interrogated [[Zetes the Retired]], a ''misthios'' who claimed to have killed the creature. He explained that he was paid by the Cult to recover an artifact and that he killed the monster with his spear after it killed his friends. As Kassandra needed his weapon, they fought and Zetes died. On him, she found a letter explaining that it wasn't Zetes but Ligeia who killed the Writhing Dread but when she touched the artifact, she transformed into the creature herself.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Heavy is the Spear]]</ref>

Returning to the Petrified Temple, Kassandra entered with Bryce in the Isu complex. When they were before the Writhing Dread, Bryce was petrified by the monster. Kassandra fought the creature and killed it before taking a snake on its head which was in fact the [[Prize of the Medusa]]. She paid respect to the petrified Bryce before leaving the Temple.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Writhing Dead]]</ref> After that, Kassandra met a woman who claimed to have created an elixir to reverse the effect of petrifaction, however, it was a lie. As she tried to kill Kassandra, the ''misthios'' returned the favor.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Elixir]]</ref>

Returning to the Gateway to the Lost City, Kassandra put the artifacts in the pillars. When she activated its, the records of the Isu were hacked by the Isu [[Aletheia]] who spoke about the First Civilization, the [[Olympos Project]], the [[Human-Isu War]] and the [[Great Catastrophe]]. The Isu also asked Pythagoras to pass the Staff. In her last message, Aletheia spoke directly with [[Layla Hassan|someone who wasn't there]].<ref name="The Gates of Atlantis" />

[[File:ACOD Death of Pythagoras.png|thumb|250px|left|Pythagoras dying in Kassandra's arms]]
After that, Kassandra asked Pythagoras how they will seal the Atlantis. He said that the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus could but that he needed to learn all the knowledge of the Isu to change the World. As Kassandra saw that her father turned away from his goal, she tried to convince him to abandon his pride and to save humanity as the Cult of Kosmos could discover the secrets of the Atlantis. After an argument, Kassandra received the Staff which killed Pythagoras instantly due to his age. Paying respect for her father, Kassandra sealed the Atlantis with the Staff.<ref name="Ancient Revelations">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Ancient Revelations]]</ref> Returning to the ''Adrestia'', she made Herodotos and Barnabas promise to never talk about the Atlantis to anyone.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Atlantis Destroyed]]</ref>

==== Destroying the Cult ====
During her journey, Kassandra sought to kill every members of the Cult to find their leader, the Ghost.

As the two men left, Natakas told her to join them to their [[Tomb Hideout|hideout]] below the [[Rock Arch]]. There, the mysterious man explained everything: he was Darius, the man who assassinated the king [[Xerxes I of Persia]] three decades ago. The king was manipulated by the [[Order of the Ancients]], a secret society that seeked to impose order in humanity by force. He told to Kassandra that Natakas and him flew the Order since the death of the king and that she was also tracked by the Huntsman, a member of the Order who lured Kassandra in Makedonia to kill her as she was a [[Tainted One]].

Finding a camp, she freed a woman who informed Kassandra that her young son worked for Natakas but was captured by the Ancients. Searching him in the fog, Kassandra found the child who was afraid that she killed him. Following him, she found a tree with the hanging corpses of the men she killed in Potidaia. There she was confronted by a masked man who told to not trust Darius as he wasn't what he pretended to be. He also wanted to show her the chaos she provoked with all the persons she killed, as their relatives confronted her near the tree. The masked man fled but left a message where it was written that the Huntsman waited in the forest.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey –'' ''Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted'' – [[Whimpers Through the Fog]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD LotFB Protector of Persia - Darius Natakas Arrive.png|thumb|250px|Confronting the Huntsman]]

In his last breath, the Huntsman revealed the truth: his real name was Pactyas and Darius was Artabanus, his old friend. Together with their friend [[Amorges]], they planned the assassination of Xerxes I to protect Persia from the Ancients. After the death of the king, Amorges and Pactyas though that allying with the Ancients could bring peace in Persia while Artabanus decided to kill the young king [[Artaxerxes I of Persia]] as he was a puppet of the Ancients. As Amorges was against the murder of an innocent, he protected the king from an assassinating attempt by Artabanus. Artabanus was branded as a traitor and tracked by the Order leading to the death of his family.<ref name="PoP" />

[[File:ACOD LotFB Protector of Persia - Last Departure.png|thumb|250px|left|Natakas parting with Kassandra]]

They bid farewell and Kassandra promised to fight back the Ancients if they tracked her.<ref name="PoP" />

During her time in Makedonia, Kassandra saved Ide, a friend of Natakas who was imprisoned in military camp. She explained to Kassandra that she was angered that the Order hired mercenaries who patrolled around her drinking spot. Kassandra offered to kill the three mercenaries while Ide promised she would share a cup of wine with her for that.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey –'' ''Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted'' – [[A Curious Request]]</ref> After killing [[Agis of the North]], [[Gaia the Fist]], and [[Theos the Stargazer]], Kassandra returned to see Ide.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey –'' ''Legacy of the First Blade: Hunted'' – [[Taking Out the Competition]]</ref> At the drinking spot, she discovered that Ide had been killed by a fourth mercenary, [[Exadios the Backbreaker]].

====Fighting the Storm====
Sometime later, Kassandra received a letter from someone asking her to meet him at [[Dyme]] in Achaia. Arriving there, she discovered that it was Darius who sent the letter. He informed her that Natakas and he took refuge in Achaia but that the Ancients found them. Natakas tried to secure a boat to escape from the blockade in [[Patrai]] but he never returned.

In the fortress, she found a letter that proved the connection between the Cult of Kosmos and the Order of the Ancients. She liberated a man, the mother of a girl Natakas found and [[Kleta]]. Returning to Darius and Natakas, Kassandra discussed with Kleta who informed them that Achaia was under the control of the fleet of the [[Phila|Tempest]], the Magus of the [[Order of the Storm]], a branch of the Ancients. As Natakas wanted to help the people of Achaia, Darius accepted to fight the Ancients which could permit them to leave the Greek world. Kassandra decided once again to join the father and the son in their fight against the Order.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Into the Storm]]</ref>

With the note of the Cult, Kassandra collected other pieces of information on the Tempest, learning she kidnapped the civilians of [[Boura]] and prepared a weapon for her ship.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[On the Grapevine]]</ref> Going to Boura, Kassandra met again Kleta who helped the stranded peoples to leave Achaia.

Kassandra received a letter from Aiantides, who wanted to thank her for killing the Huntsman. He indicated to her the location of his last gift on Achaia shore. Collecting it, Kassandra met in person Aiantides 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.

Kassandra decided to let him go even if Aiantides still claimed he had to redeem his honor.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Thank You, Misthios|Thank You, ''Misthios'']]</ref>

During her hunt, Kassandra tracked the Ancient known as the ''Broker''. On a shipwreck, she found on a corpse 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 (Ancients)|Nestor]], the captain of a ship that patrolled the waters of Achaia to blockade the region. On the ''Adrestia'', Kassandra boarded the ship of the Ancients and killed Nestor. Another letter led Kassandra to his next target, [[Augos]], who monitored Darius and Natakas. Kassandra went to the [[Shipwreck Cove]] and assassinated Augos.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Order of the Storm (memory)|Order of the Storm]]</ref>

Returning to Patrai, Kassandra joined Natakas and spied on the Tempest, testing a new fire weapon for her ship, the ''[[Skylla]]''.

After attacking Tempest's mercenaries, they interrogated one of them who revealed that the Tempest locked down Achaia to kill Kassandra. With the Adrestia, Kassandra destroyed a part of the Tempest's fleet.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Persian Puppetry]]</ref>

As [[Gyras]], the Tempest's chief engineer wanted to flee Achaia, they decided to interrogate him. At the amphitheater, the engineer revealed that his new weapon, the ''[[Chimera's Breath]]'', wasn't complete. He accepted to install it on the Adrestia if Kassandra recovered the cyphered plan which was under guard. After recovering the plan, Kassandra discovered that Gyras was killed by [[Megakreon]], an Ancient. As she was ambushed, Darius helped her to defeat the guard and killed the Ancients.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Theatrics and Espionage]]</ref> 

Even if Gyras was dead, his wife [[Parmys]] informed Kassandra that her husband had codebooks to decypher his plan. After recovering the books, the ''Chimera's breath'' was installed on the ''Adrestia''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Tides of War]]</ref>

After, Kassandra met Darius, Natakas and Kleta to organize their plan: Kassandra will attack the Tempest's fleet while Darius, Natakas and the stranded evacuate Achaia. During the night, Kassandra and Natakas went into an empty house at Dyme. While drinking, they spoke about their difficulty to make friends and remembering their time in Makedonia. The next day, as Kassandra bid farewell to her friends, the Tempest and her fleet approached to stop the evacuation.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Calm Before the Storm]]</ref> 

[[File:ACOD LotFBSH Phila Kassandra Confrontation.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra confronting the Tempest]]
With the ''Adrestia'', Kassandra sank the ''Skylla'' and confronted the Tempest who dragged herself on the shore.

A duel between the two Tainted Ones occurred, resulting in Kassandra killing Phila and ending the Order of the Storm.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Leviathan's Maw]]</ref>

====Founding a family====
[[File:ACOD LotFBSH Kassandra Elpidios.png|thumb|left|250px|Kassandra holding her son Elpidios]]
After the destruction of the Order of Storm, Kassandra was ready to bid farewell to Darius and Natakas, but they ultimately chose to stay with her in Achaia. Taking the empty house in Dyme as home, they formed some kind of family, Kassandra and Natakas having a son, [[Elpidios]]. While raising her son, Kassandra resumed her work as a mercenary, obliging her to leave her family from time to time.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Home]]</ref>

Later, Kassandra discovered that, before dying, the Tempest recruited mercenaries to kill her. Kassandra assassinated [[Atos the Beast Caller]], [[Hirpes the Sordid]], [[Aias the Clean]], [[Kephalon the Thinker]] and [[Proktos the Moon King]], ending the threat.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Shadow Heritage]]'' – [[Knives in the Dark]]</ref>

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 gave him to protect him. He threw it in the water, proving he trusted her to protect the family. At the night, Kassandra shared a diner with the others before Natakas put Elpidios to bed. She reflected with Darius on the peaceful life they had.<ref name="The Simple Life" />

====Searching her son====
During their conversation, Kassandra and Darius spotted smoke over Dyme. They ride to the village, discovering it was attacked by the Order of the Ancients. Kassandra was welcomed by Orontas but Darius revealed that Orontas was Amorges. After fighting soldiers of the Ancients, Kassandra and Darius joined Natakas and Elpidios. Darius decided to attack the Ancients to give time to the three others to leave. Before leaving, Kassandra promised to Darius to protect their family.<ref name="A Flight in Fire">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[A Flight in Fire]]</ref>

On the way to the beach, Kassandra protected Natakas and their son, killing soldiers of the Ancients. While preparing a boat to leave, Kassandra decided to 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.<ref name="A Flight in Fire" />

The next day, Kassandra and Darius buried Natakas in their house. Darius reproached Kassandra to break her promise to protect their family. When Kassandra proposed to work together to find Elpidios, Darius left to find him alone. On the grave of Natakas, Kassandra promised to find their son. Talking with Barnabas, she discovered that the ballistae used by the Ancients were created in [[Messenia]]. With no other lead, Kassandra took the ''Adrestia'' to find her son.<ref name="A Flight in Fire" />

[[File:ACOD Answers from Ashes 3.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra pinned by Darius]]
Arriving in [[Aipeia]], Kassandra discovered that many guards of the Ancients were assassinated. Investigating the area, she was ambushed by Darius. Sharing his information, Darius revealed that Messenia was the stronghold of the [[Order of Dominion]]. Having the support of the Spartan Army, the Order also had a large production line for their weapons,  One of their commanders supervising the helots. He also spoke about the Ancient [[Dimokrates]] who tried to negotiate reinforcement with the Cult of Kosmos. Finally, he told to Kassandra that an Athenian General was captured by the Order, but if he was freed, he could help them. Kassandra reluctantly decided to work with Darius.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[Answers from Ashes]]</ref>

Going to the [[Leader House, Messenia|Leader House]], Kassandra freed helots to learn the identity of the commander working for the Order of Dominion. She saved the helot [[Rhode]] who would be executed. The helot accepted to lead her to the commander if she helped her to free her son [[Pebble (helot)|Pebble]] and other helots' children. With Rhode and the children, they were blocked by the commander [[Harpagos]].

After this, Kassandra joined Rhode and the children and must choose between sending the children out of Messenia or not.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[Command and Control]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD The Ordering of the Kosmos 5.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra and Darius observing the meeting]]
Joining Darius, Kassandra began to track Dimokrates. As they didn't what he looks like, Kassandra eavesdropped on a meeting between the Order of the Ancients and the Cult Of Kosmos.

[[File:ACOD The Last Magi Screenshot 05.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra meeting Gergis]]
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.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[The Trap Is Set]]</ref> Going there, She encountered [[Gergis]], Magus of the Dominion and herald of the Order. He told her about the goal of the Order and why they tried to kill her as she brought chaos. While admiring an island near the coast of Messenia, he proposed to tell her how Natakas die and even let her decide if she could kill him or not.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[The Last Magi]]</ref>

While the Athenians prepared their attack against the Spartans, 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 in the [[Andania Mine]]. As the Athenians were slaughtered by the Order, Darius attacked them while Kassandra went to the mine. As she found the archives of the Order, she was attacked by members of the Ancients she defeated.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[Smoke and Fury]]</ref>

Reaching the [[Temple of Zeus, Messenia|Temple of Zeus]], Kassandra confronted Amorges to get back her son. As she told him she will destroy the Ancients, Amorges replied that the Order had already infiltrated the Greek society and will bring peace to the World, but the only obstacle of this was her. As Darius arrived, the two fought Amorges as he refused to give back Elpidios. During the fight, Darius and Amorges fell from the hill. Going down the hill, Kassandra witnessed Darius making peace with a dying Amorges. The Ancient revealed that Elpidios was on the island that Gergis show to Kassandra. In his dying breath, Amorges warned that the Order will continue to hunt Elpidios and will never be destroyed.<ref name="Legacy of the First Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]'' – [[Legacy of the First Blade (memory)|Legacy of the First Blade]]</ref>

Going to the island, Kassandra and Darius met Elpidios' caretaker, [[Darius II of Persia|Prince Darius]], son of Artaxerxes I. He willingly gave back Elpidios to his family. Understanding that the Order will always hunt her, Kassandra decided to protect her son, leaving him to the care of his grandfather. Before their departure, Kassandra wrapped Natakas' blanket around her son. Darius promised to protect Elpidios while investigating the Ancients.

====Becoming the Keeper====
[[File:ACOD The Heir of Memories Memory Screenshot 01.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra meeting Aletheia]]
While exploring the [[Island of Triton]], Kassandra was contacted by a projection of Aletheia, whose consciousness was in the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus. She explained that Kassandra became the Keeper of the Staff and must protect it until she met the Heir of the Memories. Kassandra accepted her new duty. Aletheia tasked Kassandra to find Theras as he knew the location of symbols for the Heir.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Lost Tales of Greece]]'' – [[The Heir of Memories]]</ref> Arriving in Seriphos, Kassandra saved Theras who was captured by the Cult of Kosmos. He explained to her that Phidias was killed and that the Cult interrogated him about symbols he discovered in three tombs. He gave a map to Kassandra to find them.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Lost Tales of Greece]]'' – [[Finding Theras]]</ref>

Returning to Olympia, Kassandra discovered that Theras told the truth about Phidias. On his brutalized corpse, she found the scytale he tasked her years ago to decipher. With the symbols she found on the statues of Zeus in Olympia, Aphrodite in Kythera, [[Theagenes of Thasos|Theagenes]] in [[Thasos]] and [[Statue of Poseidon, Samos|Poseidon]] in Samos, Kassandra could read the scytale. It revealed that there was a secret room in the Stronghold of Lemnos. Going there, Kassandra unlocked the door and recovered the [[Atlantean Blade]], a weapon created by the Isu.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[Journey's End]]</ref> 

Later, Kassandra went to the tombs of [[Agamemnon's Tomb|Agamemnon]] in Argolis, [[Tomb of Eteokles|Eteokles]] in Attika and [[Tomb of Orion|Orion]] in Boetia. Each time, she spoke with Alethia who explained her role as Keeper and that she will help the Heir by standing before the tombs.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Lost Tales of Greece]]'' – [[Three Symbols Entombed]]</ref> Returning to the Atlantis, Kassandra opened the throne room with her blood and the Staff. Alethia explained to Kassandra that she created simulations for her to learn how to control the Staff through [[Keeper's Insight]]s. Kassandra accepted to pass the trials, accessing to the first simulation.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Isu Beckon]]</ref>

====Rebellion in Elysium====
[[File:ACOD FoA FoE Promo Screenshot 05.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra speaking with Hermes at the Fields of Elysium]]
Unconscious, Kassandra was awaked by a [[Ros|dog]]. Standing up, she was attacked by Isu soldiers commanded by an Isu woman.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Trials of the Keeper]]</ref> After defeating them, Kassandra met [[Hermes]], who recognized her as Pythagoras' descendant as she had his staff. He explained to her that she was in the [[Elysium|Fields of Elysium]] which was ruled by [[Persephone]], [[Hades]]' wife. As Kassandra told about the trials, Hermes said that the only way to leave Elysium was through Persephone. He informed her to speak to [[Hekate]], Persephone's advisor. The Isu indicated that Kassandra could prove herself to Persephone if she smothered a rebellion in the [[Deukalion]]. At last, Hermes revealed that Kassandra could empower his staff through the Perceptions of Hermes, unlocking new capacities.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Welcome to Elysium]]</ref>

Later, Kassandra met [[Adonis]], a living human forced to stay in Elysium as Persephone fell 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 [[Torch of Hypnos|Torches of Hypnos]] who controlled humans and killed the [[Persephone's Overseers|overseer]] [[Aegea]]. This act convinced Adonis to ally with Kassandra.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[A Lover and A Fighter]]</ref> She also killed the overseers [[Iphigenia]] and [[Atalanta]] and destroyed other Torches and ressources, decreasing Persephone power in Elysium.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Give 'Em Hades]]</ref>

Arriving at Pheraphassa Point, Kassandra met Persephone who apologized to have sent her soldier against her. The Isu informed her that [[Orphnaeus]], one of her husband's horses, 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 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 solved the problem.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Dark Horse]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD FoA FoE Promo Screenshot 04.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra speaking with Hekate]]
Later, Kassandra met Hekate who proposed to help her to leave Elysium, even if she was Persephone's friend. The Isu gave her the key to Persephone's hidden sanctuary and tasked her to recover Persephone's journal to discover where was the gate to the [[Underworld]]. 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.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Sudden and New]]</ref>

Kassandra also met Hermes and followed him on a tour of the [[Minos' Faith]]. The Isu explained to her how to unlock the power of his staff through the Keeper's Insights.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Keeper and Key Maker]]</ref> After founding one in the region, Kassandra found the others in the Elysium, expanding her knowledge and power of the Staff.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[A Growing Perception]]</ref> Later, as Hermes searched for a bodyguard for Persephone, he tasked Kassandra to free [[Kyros of Zarax]] from the rebels. When she rescued Kyros, as an old friend of Pythagoras, he revealed to her that he secretly worked for the human rebellion. His captivity served as a cover to be hired by Hermes. Kassandra brought him before the Isu without revealing the truth.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Keeper and Kyros]]</ref>

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 chose if she must give the flame to Hermes or Adonis.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Keeper and the Flame]]</ref> Later, Kassandra had to choose between helping Hermes kill the leaders of the rebellion or breaking her alliance with the Isu.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Keeper, a Killer]]</ref>

As Adonis tasked Kassandra to free humans from Persephone's influence, she learned that Hermes' Staff could liberate their captive minds. After this, Adonis said that an old Spartan warrior could help the rebellion if convinced. Meeting the warrior, Kassandra discovered that it was her grandfather Leonidas. After a fight to see her combat skills, the defeated King accepted to join the rebellion.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Dead Kings and Pretty Things]]</ref> Later, Kassandra continued to use the Staff to free other humans from their mind-control, who joined the rebellion.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Free Their Minds, the Rest Will Follow]]</ref>

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 captured villagers. She also demanded to her to free her son Theron from his indoctrination. After accomplishing her task, Isidore became an ally of the rebellion.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Good News]]</ref> 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 about her dead lover. Ultimately, Kassandra had to choose between giving her the Lethe or destroying it. After hearing rumors on Lethe's water entered circulation, Persephone had suspicions of Hekate's loyalty. Kassandra herself had doubts about Hekate's true motives.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Have Another Drink]]</ref> Kassandra once again worked with Hekate to decrease Persephone's power. During a symposium of Persephone's Devotees, Kassandra poisoned their wine with aconite to kill them.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Popular]]</ref>

Adonis discovered that a traitor among the rebellion gave information to Persephone. After identifying two suspects, a blacksmith, and a messenger, Kassandra had to choose which of them she must kill.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[Persephone's Little Birds]]</ref> During an audience with Persephone, the Isu made a deal with Kassandra: bringing from the dead a loved one if she killed Leonidas as he served the rebellion. Kassandra had to choose between killing her grandfather or sacrificing Kyros of Zarax and revealing he was a mole.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[A Life for a Life]]</ref> After the rebellion stole an explosive device from Hermes' workshop, Kassandra brought it in the [[Palace of the Kolossi]], destroying all the [[Kolossus|Kolossi]] in the area.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Beacons Are Lit]]</ref>

Later, as Kassandra went to Hekate's hovel, Persephone waiting for her. As she didn't trust Hekate, Persephone tasked Kassandra to spy on her during a secret meeting. She discovered that Hekate met Hermes who confronted her about Kassandra's actions. During their conversation, she learned that the key to the gate of the Underworld was the collar of Persephone's dog, Ros. After this, Kassandra must defend her cause before Persephone as Hekate accused her to be the only one responsible for her mischiefs.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[No Good Deed]]</ref>

With the rebels, Kassandra launched the attack on Persephone's palace. Defeating her army, Kassandra confronted Hermes who was thrown away by Persephone as he failed her. In the throne room, Persephone decided Hekate's fate and how Adonis will leave Elysium. Kassandra tried to convince Persephone to leave Elysium but she refused, throwing an [[Prize of Cerberos|artifact]] in the pit to the underworld and Ros followed it. Immobilized by Persephone's power, Kassandra was thrown in the Underworld.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[The Rebellion's Uprising]]</ref>

====Bringing order in the Underworld====
[[File:ACOD FoA ToH Guardian of the Gates 03.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra confronting Cerberos]]
Rising from her long fall to the Underworld, Kassandra discovered that the artifact transformed Ros into a giant 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 she killed his dog. As nothing kept the dead to return to the living realm, Hades tasked Kassandra to find four heroes to watch the gates of the Underworld. He also informed her to help [[Charon]] bring order in the realm as prisoners of [[Tartaros]] escaped. As Kassandra wanted information on the Staff, in exchange for her work, Hades promised he will help her fulfill her destiny.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Guardian of the Gates]]</ref>

On her way to see the ferryman, Kassandra saw prisoners of Tartaros escaped from a [[Tartaros Veil|rift]]. Kassandra killed them by activating the rift which weakened her. Meeting Charon, he informed her that she needed the [[Armor of the Fallen]] to pass through the Tartaros Veil to ended the threat of the [[Shaded]]. Charon said that [[The Fallen]] kept four pieces of the armor while the last one was lost. Through his indication, Kassandra began to collect the armor.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Pay the Ferryman]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD FoA ToH A New Lease on Death - Kassandra Elpenor Reunited.png|thumb|left|250px|Kassandra meeting Elpenor]]
Kassandra went to the [[Hades' Palace]] which was attacked by the prisoners of Tartaros. After killing them, Kassandra met Elpenor, the first cultist she assassinated. Now working for Hades, Elpenor proposed to help Kassandra find the gauntlets of the Armor of the Fallen to make amendments to his past life. He explained to her that the Shaded were led by the Monger who resumed the work of the Cult.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[A New Lease on Death]]</ref> Going to [[Kronos' Treasury]], Kassandra recovered the gauntlets from the Shades.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Arms of Atonement]]</ref> To claim the four other pieces, Kassandra killed the Fallen who were four past targets: The Poisoner, Epiktetos, Deianeira and Swordfish.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Beyond the Veil]]</ref> With the complete set, Kassandra could enter the [[Lost Temple of Nyx]] and killed once again the Monger, sending him to the depth of the Tartaros.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[The Snake Sheds His Skin]]</ref>

Searching heroes to keep the gates of the underworld, Kassandra defeated [[Perseus]], [[Herakles]], [[Agamemnon]] and [[Achilles]], who accepted their new roles.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[The Underworld's Fallen Guardians]]</ref> Kassandra also found the Keeper's Insight in this realm, expanding her link with the Staff.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[The Next Lesson]]</ref>

[[File:ACOD FoA ToH Death-Light Robbery 02.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra working with Charon]]
Kassandra also assisted Charon to help lost souls in the underworld. As an Athenian soldier died before he could fight the Spartans, Kassandra dueled him to permit him to enter Elysium.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Death Before Dishonor]]</ref> Kassandra tried to cure a woman who died from the plague and didn't receive the proper last rites.

Founding a letter from a child searching her parent in the underworld, Kassandra followed the footprints and discovered it was her friend Phoibe,  who was amnesic after someone forced her to drink the Lethe's water. To bring back her memories, Kassandra recovered Chara, Phoibe's eagle sculpture. Remembering she died in Athens, the young girl explained that she was in Elysium but went into the underworld to find her parents. Kassandra helped her friend in her quest.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Lost, but Not Forgotten]]</ref> Going to the [[Ixion Wheel]], Kassandra saved a woman attacked by guards.

Phoibe remembered that it was the Cyclops who forced her to drink the Lethe's water.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[A Young Warrior's Ghosts]]</ref> 

As Phoibe went to find the [[Keres]] to help the woman but didn't return, Kassandra searched her before being ambushed by Cyclops' men. Discovering that Phoibe was captive, Kassandra met Charon who transported her to the Cyclops' location, a recreation of Kephallonia.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Undoing What's Been Done]]</ref> After killing once again the Cyclops, Kassandra said one last time goodbye to her friend who went to Elysium to reunite with her family.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[The Warrior, the Eagle Bearer]]</ref>

Among soldiers fighting on the [[Eternal Battlefield]],  Kassandra saw Brasidias and helped her friends. After the battle, Kassandra was attacked by Brasidias who, once defeated, remembered they were allies. Wondering why he wasn't in Elysium, Brasidias explained that Hades wanted him to fight his greatest enemy.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[I Don't Belong Here]]</ref> Believing it was Deimos, Kassandra decided to help his friend, recovering his shield.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[The Weight of Sparta]]</ref> Going with Brasidias, Kassandra with him his greatest enemy, a doppelganger of himself symbolizing his hubris.

The Isu led them to the [[Forest of Oizys]] to resume their quest.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Kill Me Once, Shame on You]]</ref> 

There, they met the soul of [[Lilaira]]. She tasked them to bring her love in exchange for her knowledge.

[[File:ACOD FoA ToH Labors of the Keeper - Hades Defeated.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra defeating Hades]]
After all her tasks, Kassandra met Hades to discover what he knew about the Staff. Hades said he never promised that only he will help her fulfill her destiny. Explaining they were five gates in the underworld, Hades wanted Kassandra to guard it. As she refused, the two fought, leading to Hades' defeat.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[Labors of the Keeper]]</ref> As Kassandra was about to beat the Isu on the ground, [[Poseidon]], Hades' brother, appeared through a portal and conjured a repulsive force between the two fighters. He invited Kassandra to go to Atlantis, a proposal she accepted. As Tartaros rifts began to appear, Kassandra followed Poseidon through the portal while Hades was trapped in a rift.<ref name="Welcome Home">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis]]'' – [[Welcome Home]]</ref>

===Later life and death ===
With the Staff now under her possession, Kassandra became practically immortal and was given the title of "The Keeper" by the Isu [[Aletheia]], who tasked her to safeguard Atlantis and keep the Staff safe until it was ready to be handed to the Heir of Memories.<ref name="The Heir of Memories">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Heir of Memories]]</ref> To increase her mastery and control of the Staff, Kassandra was given a number of [[Aletheia's simulations|simulations]] of various former realms of Isu to complete, [[Elysium]], the [[Underworld]], and [[Atlantis]]. Having presumbly having full control over the Staff, Kassandra devoted herself to keeping Atlantis sealed,<ref name="FoA">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – ''The Fate of Atlantis''</ref> meanwhile tracking down Isu artifacts throughout the world similar to the ones she found in Greece. By the 9th century CE, her search brought her to Northern Europe, where she became acquainted with the [[Hidden Ones]] operating in the region, occassionally working alongside them with their shared goals. Kassandra was even given a Hidden Blade for her relation with the Hidden Ones.<ref name="Tossing and Turning">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Tossing and Turning]]</ref>

In the 880s, Kassandra learned of a Piece of Eden on the [[Isle of Skye]] in the {{Wiki|Kingdom of the Isles}} which has been disrupting the local population and driving them mad. During her investigation, she encountered and befriended the [[Viking]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]], who was investigating the strange phenomenon on behalf of a woman named [[Edyt]].<ref name="A Distorted Dream">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – [[A Distorted Dream]]</ref>

[[File:ACOd Layla Kassandra.jpg|thumb|250px|Kassandra passing the Staff onto Layla Hassan's hands]]
Having faded into obscurity over the centuries, her identity was rediscovered through a book by [[Herodotos]] called ''[[Lost Histories]]'', found by the former [[Abstergo Industries]] employee and later Assassin [[Layla Hassan]]. In 2018, this helped Layla relive Kassandra's memories through the [[Animus]] and find the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus.<ref name="ACOD">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey''</ref> When Layla ventured into the Gateway to the Lost City, Kassandra finally appeared before her and bestowed her with the Staff, in the process passing away.<ref name="The Gates of Atlantis">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[The Gates of Atlantis]]</ref><ref name="Ancient Revelations">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Ancient Revelations]]</ref><ref name="Atlantis Destroyed">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Atlantis Destroyed]]</ref>

==Personality and traits==
{{Quote|I always finish what I've started.|A catchphrase of Kassandra as a misthios.|Assassin's Creed: Odyssey}}
Kassandra had a soft spot for children however, particularly Phoibe, a young orphaned Athenian girl. She also possesed a scar on her right upper lip, and heavy scarring down her arm from falling from [[Mount Taygetos]] as a child.

According to both Phoibe<ref name="Abandoned" /> as well as Kassandra herself, she never really got sick.<ref name="Mysterious" />

===Equipment and skills===
{{Quote|To shoot, you need to raise your elbow to be level with your ear, keeping your arm straight and relaxed. Your arrow needs to be just below your eye, then exhale on release. Try to aim for the eye so that you don't damage the rest of the meat.|Kassandra, on the bases of archery.|Assassin's Creed: Odyssey|Learning the Land}}
Trained from a young age to fight as a Spartan, Kassandra was a highly skilled warrior capable of defeating multiple opponents simultaneously. Kassandra was able to competently wield a variety of weapon types, including [[sword]]s, [[bow]]s, [[spear]]s, and axes. Unlike most Spartan warriors, however, Kassandra did not rely on a shield for protection, instead being able to easily deflect enemy attacks.

[[File:ACOdyssey Promotional Screenshot 02.jpg|thumb|250px|Kassandra dual-wielding a sword and the Broken Spear of Leonidas]]
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 also gifts Kassandra with Superhuman powers which includes enabling her to know what, when and how her enemies are going to attack, giving her a major edge over her enemies in combat. It greatly enhances her physical strength to the point where she can send normal and giant-sized men to animals as large as grizzly bears flying through the air dozens of feet away from her in a single blow with sufficient force. Her blows could even stagger Legendary beasts like the Nemean Lion and a Cyclops with significant effort.

[[File:ACOD - Kassandra aiming bow.png|thumb|250px|left|Kassandra aiming her bow with a fire arrow]]
She could also briefly enhance her speed and reflexes to the point where she can move faster then a human eye can see or react to and can also regenerate her injuries that would normally be fatal. If necessary, the Spear can also turn her invisible for a short while, allow minor control over poison and fire, produce concussive shockwaves, charge arrows with raw explosive energy, phase arrows through solid objects, and very minor control over time, only allowing for time to be stopped for five seconds.

A skilled [[Freerunning|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 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.

With the [[Staff of Hermes Trismegistus]], which was passed on to her by her father [[Pythagoras]], Kassandra was rendered immortal and remained unchanged for far longer than two thousand years. With the staff, she no longer required food or water as the staff sustained her needs. She could even cause the Staff of Hermes to transform into anything she chooses, such as a lantern. While never shown, it is assumed she could use everything the staff gave to its user, including short range teleportation and energy manipulation and projection. However shortly after coming into possession of the Staff, Kassandra learned the Staff can easily corrupt individuals who lack the strength to control it, setting Kassandra through simulations of Elysium and Hades to gain control of the staff as well as full tap into her own hidden potential. During her journey through Elysium, Kassandra learned to tap deeper into the spear's power, able to enhance several of her abilities to the level of an Isu as well as briefly summon the Full Power of the Spear of Leonidas. With these abilities Kassandra grew to rival the gods themselves, easily besting Hermes, an actual god and slaying the mighty Cerberus. After her trials through Atlantis and under the guidance of Poseiden and fully awakening the Isu's sixth sense of [[Eagle Vision|Knowledge]] within her does Kassandra come to control the staff and realize that is actually is far more destructive then it appears, having the power to destroy entire cities if she wanted to, which she displays by destroying Atlantis after learning how horribly the Isu treat humans.

By 2018, Kassandra had a great deal of knowledge of every innovation and discovery which have happened in her immensely long lifespan, recognizing Layla's device. She also is aware of a great deal of historical information as well as the existence of many secret societies that have risen during her immensely long lifespan.

==Behind the scenes==
[[File:ACOD Kassandra - Concept Art by Fred Rambaud.jpg|thumb|200px|Early concept art by Fred Rambaud]]
Kassandra is one of two selectable protagonists in ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'', alongside [[Alexios]]. Regardless of who the player chooses, the two protagonists share the same story. However, the [[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (novel)|novelization]] of the video game confirms that Kassandra is the canonical protagonist. She is voiced by [[Melissanthi Mahut]] who also provides the motion-capture. [[Maria Syrgiannis]] voices her as a child with Jennifer Michele providing 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. The game writers original intent was for Kassandra to be the sole protagonist of the game but Ubisoft executives told them that wasn't an option.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-21/ubisoft-sexual-misconduct-scandal-harassment-sexism-and-abuse|title=Ubisoft Family Accused of Mishandling Sexual Misconduct Claims|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200721101132/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-21/ubisoft-sexual-misconduct-scandal-harassment-sexism-and-abuse|archivedate=21 July, 2020|author=Schreier, Jason|year=21 July, 2020|publisher=''{{Wiki|Bloomberg L.P.|Bloomberg}}''|accessdate=24 August, 2020}}</ref> As of January 2019, one-third of ''Odyssey'' players have chosen Kassandra as the protagonist.

===Etymology===
Kassandra (Κασσανδρα) is an [[Greece|Ancient Greek]] name derived from possibly [[wikt:κέκασμαι|κέκασμαι]] (''kekasmai'') "to excel, to shine" and [[wikt:ἀνήρ|ἀνήρ]] (''anḗr'') "man", altogether meaning "shining upon men". Her name could also be a reference to the {{wiki|Cassandra|Trojan princess}} who was given the power of foresight by [[Apollo]], but when she rejected him, he cursed these visions so that they would come true, but she wouldn't be believed (this is known as the "Cassandra metaphor", in which a figure with knowledge of the truth and/or upcoming disasters is ignored).
