	'''Alexios''' (Greek: Αλεξιος; 451 BCE – 422 BCE), also known as '''Deimos''', was a [[Sage (Cult of Kosmos)\|Sage]] of the [[Cult of Kosmos]], an organization active in ancient [[Greece]].		'''Alexios''' (Greek: Αλεξιος; 451 BCE – 422 BCE), also known as '''Deimos''', was a [[Sage (Cult of Kosmos)\|Sage]] of the [[Cult of Kosmos]], an organization active in ancient [[Greece]].

	Alongside his older half-sister, the famed ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]], he was a grandchild of King [[Leonidas I]] of [[Sparta]] through his mother, [[Myrrine]], as well as a [[hybrid]]. His unique heritage made him the target of the Cult as an infant and a false oracle delivered by the Cult deceived Sparta into believing he had to be thrown off [[Mount Taygetos]] to his death.

His unique heritage made him the target of the Cult as an infant, and a false oracle delivered by the Cult deceived Sparta into believing he had to be thrown off [[Mount Taygetos]] to his death.

	Although he survived the fall, Alexios was abducted by the Cultist [[Chrysis]] and forced to endure a cruel and torturous childhood. His harsh upbringing warped his mind, brainwashing him into becoming a weapon of the Cult convinced that he was their champion, Deimos. In reality, the other Cultists only saw him as a deranged beast which served their purposes.		Although he survived the fall, Alexios was abducted by the Cultist [[Chrysis]] and forced to endure a cruel and torturous childhood. His harsh upbringing warped his mind, brainwashing him into becoming a weapon of the Cult convinced that he was their champion, Deimos. In reality, the other Cultists only saw him as a deranged beast which served their purposes.

	Not content with their control over Alexios, the Cult sought the ~~assassinations~~ of the rest of his family: Nikolaos, ~~Myrinne~~, and Kassandra. At a conclave assembled by Deimos, he met his long lost sister for the first time in years while she was masquerading as one of the Cultists in order to learn the whereabouts of their mother.		Not content with their control over Alexios, the Cult sought the deaths of the rest of his family: his father [[Nikolaos]], Myrrine, and Kassandra. At a conclave assembled by Deimos, he met his long-lost sister for the first time in years while she was masquerading as one of the Cultists in order to learn the whereabouts of their mother.

	Over the next several years, as the [[Peloponnesian War]] raged, Alexios continued serving as Cult's brutal instrument all the while his sister assassinated its members in a desperate attempt to protect her family and redeem him. Her efforts ultimately fell short when Alexios, guilt-ridden over his monstrous actions, forced her to kill him during a final confrontation atop Mount Taygetos.
