	'''Leonidas I''' (Λεωνίδης; c. 540 BCE – 480 BCE) was a king of the [[Greece\|Greek]] city-state of [[Sparta]], best known for his involvement in the [[Battle of Thermopylae]] against the [[Achaemenid Empire]] ~~in 480 BCE~~.

	A direct descendant of the [[Isu]], ~~Leonidas~~ possessed a proportionally-higher level of Isu genes than usual; consequently, so did his descendants. He also wielded ~~an Isu~~ [[Spear of ~~Leonidas\|spear~~]], which was ~~later~~ passed down to his daughter [[Myrrine]], and ~~then his~~ granddaughter, ~~the ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]''~~ [[Kassandra]]. Through his granddaughter, Leonidas was an ancestor of [[Amunet\|Aya]] of [[Alexandria]], one of the co-founders of the [[Assassins\|Hidden Ones]].

Through his granddaughter, Leonidas was an ancestor of [[Amunet\|Aya]] of [[Alexandria]], one of the co-founders of the [[Assassins\|Hidden Ones]].

	For his defiance against the [[Cult of Kosmos]], Leonidas' descendants came to be targeted by the Cult, who sought to have his bloodline wiped out such that they would no longer face opposition against their plans.

	Following Leonidas' death, Xerxes, who was otherwise recognized for his civility and honor when dealing with his fallen foes, was so deeply infuriated by Leonidas' defiance that he had his head cut off and impaled on a pike. His remains, along with his spear, were later recovered and returned to Sparta, where he was buried in a [[Tomb of Leonidas\|tomb]] southwest of the city, while his broken spear was handed down to his daughter, Myrrine, who in turn passed it on to her daughter Kassandra.<ref name="Memories Awoken"/>		Following Leonidas' death, Xerxes, who was otherwise recognized for his civility and honor when dealing with his fallen foes, was so deeply infuriated by Leonidas' defiance that he had his head cut off and impaled on a pike.
